What happens to waves near the shore?

Physics
1 answer:
Lady_Fox [76]3 years ago
8 0

Answer As a wave travels across the open ocean, it gains speed. When a wave reaches a shallow coastline, the wave begins to slow down due to the friction caused by the approaching shallow bottom. ... Think of it like driving a car at high speed and then slamming on the breaks. Everything is going to fly to the front.:Waves at the Shoreline: As a wave approaches the shore it slows down from drag on the bottom when water depth is less than half the wavelength (L/2). The waves get closer together and taller. ... Eventually the bottom of the wave slows drastically and the wave topples over as a breaker. hope this helps have a nice night❤️❤️❤️

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The astronaut's acceleration is 155.1 times the vehicle's acceleration

Explanation:

These effects due to Newton's third law of action and reaction. Since the forces are equal but in the opposite direction and each acting on a different body. We distance that the Force is F let's calculate the acceleration of the vehicle and the astronaut  

Astronaut

        F = m_{ast}  a₁

Vehicle

        F = m_{veh} a₁

F = 555.1 m_{ast} a₂

Let's match the equation

m_{ast} a₁ = 155.1 m_{ast} a₂

a₁ = 155.1 a₂

a₁ / a₂ = 155.1

The astronaut's acceleration is 155.1 times the vehicle's acceleration

We see that even when the acceleration of the vehicle is small, there is a very high multiplicative factor.

One method to improve this situation is that the vehicles fear some small retro-rocket vehicles to reduce their acceleration. This would have a very favorable impact on the astronaut's mission.

Another method would be for the astronaut himself to have the retro-rocket and control his acceleration.

If a certain mass of mercury has a volume of 0.002 m3 at a temperature of 20°C, what will be the volume at 50°C?
Klio2033 [76]
From tables, the density of mercury is
13545 kg/m^3 at 20°C,
13472 kg/m^3 at 50°C.

Because mass = density * volume, the mass of mercury at 20°C is
m = (13545 kg/m^3)*(0.002 m^3) = 27.09 kg

Let V  = volume of mercury at 50°C.
Because the mass of mercury does not change, therefore at 50°C,
(13472 kg/m^3)*(V m^3) = 27.09
V = 27.09/13472 = 0.0020108 m^3

Answer:  B. 0.002010812 m³
