Minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day, ocean waves continue to splash onto the shore. Explain why the beach is not

completely submerged and why the middle of the ocean has not yet been depleted of its water supply. A) Ocean waves can only bring water to the shore but cannot take it back. The momentum of the water particles switches direction when the wave hits the shore and this momentum takes all the water back into the ocean. B) Ocean waves bring the water and also take it all the way back into the ocean. As such, water does not pile up on the beach. C) Ocean waves can only bring energy to the shore; the particles of the medium (water) simply oscillate about their fixed position. D) None of the choices are correct.

Answer: C. Ocean waves can only bring energy to the shore; the particles of the medium (water) simply oscillate about their fixed position.

Explanation:

The reason why the beach is not completely submerged and the reason why the middle of the ocean has not been depleted of its water supply is due to the fact that water isn't transported by ocean waves.

It should be noted that even a single drop of water cannot be brought by the ocean wave to the shore from the middle of the ocean.

The only thing that the ocean waves can bring to the shore is energy. Hemce, the water particles oscillate in their fixed position which is vital in making sure that the beach isn't piled up with water.

A 400 hp engine in a 1,600 kg car applies maximum force for 2 seconds to accelerate the car onto the
babymother [125]

Answer:

I will assume that “maximum force” implies the constant application of power  P  = 400 hp (international) to accelerating the vehicle. The force will therefore vary with speed as the vehicle accelerates. I will also assume that all engine energy goes into accelerating the vehicle, rather than rotating elements like its wheels.

In this case the 400 hp (equivalent to 298,280 watts) is applied for time  t  = 2 seconds. Therefore the kinetic energy of the vehicle is increased by:

ΔKE=Pt=(298,280)(2)=596,560  joules.

The initial kinetic energy is:

KEinitial=12mv2

=(0.5)(1600)(82)=51,200  joules.

Therefore final kinetic energy is:

KEfinal=KEinitial+ΔKE

=51,200+596,560

=647,760  joules

Therefore final vehicle velocity can be found:

KEfinal=12mv2

v=2KEfinalm−−−−−−−−√

=(2)(647,760)1600−−−−−−−−−−−√

= 28.455 m/s

The largest and the smallest balls used in the experiment are with diameter 9.52 mm, and 2.38 mm respectively. For a glycerin wi
svlad2 [7]

Answer

given,

largest diameter of  balls = 9.52 mm = 0.00476 m

                                 radius = 0.00476

smallest diameter of ball = 2.38 mm = 0.00238 m

                                 radius = 0.00119

viscosity = 1.5 Pa.s

density of the ball = 1.42 g/cm

F = 6\pi \eta r V_t

F = \dfrac{mv}{t}

F = \dfrac{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi\ r^3\times (\rho-\sigma) \times 0.99 V_T}{t}

6\pi \eta r V_t = \dfrac{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi\ r^3\times rho \times 0.99 V_T}{t}

t = \dfrac{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi\ r^3\times rho \times 0.99 V_T}{6\pi \eta r V_t}

t= \dfrac{0.22 r^2 (\rho-\sigma) }{\eta}

for small balls

t= \dfrac{0.22\times 0.00119^2 (1460-1300)}{1.5}

t = 0.033 ms

for larger ball

t= \dfrac{0.22\times 0.00476^2 (1460-1300)}{1.5}

t = 0.531 ms

A roller coaster has a mass of 300 kg. It drops from rest at the top of a hill
Sedaia [141]

To determine the velocity of the roller coaster as it moves down, we use the kinematic equation which is expressed as 2gy = vf^2 - v0^2 where g is the gravitational acceleration, y is the elevation of the roller coaster, vf and vo are the final and initial velocity. We calculate as follows:

2gy = vf^2 - v0^2

Since it starts at rest, v0 is zero.

2gy = vf^2

vf = √2gy

vf = √2(9.8)(101)

vf = 44.5 m/s
