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.

Which statement is false?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Once you reach adulthood, you will not experience peer pressure.

Explanation:

We tend to believe that self-control comes from within, but many of our attitudes depend as much on friends and family as on ourselves. That's because at any stage of our life (even the adult stage) our friends and our family have the power to influence us, sometimes that influence is good and sometimes bad, it's up to us to reason about them.

The people around us have the power to make us fat, consume more alcohol, worry less about the environment and expose ourselves to the sun without proper protection, among many other things.

It is not simply about peer pressure, where you deliberately act in a certain way to suit the group. It is, in fact, largely an unconscious attitude. Without your awareness, your brain is constantly picking up cues from people around you to dictate your behavior. And the consequences can be serious.

Suppose you have a 113-kg wooden crate resting on a wood floor. (μk = 0.3 and μs = 0.5) (a) What maximum force (in N) can you ex
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

554.27N

Explanation:

(a)  The max frictional force exerted horizontally on the crate and the floor is,

Substitute the values,

μs=0.5

mass=113kg

g=9.81m/s

Ff=μsN

   =μsmg

   =(0.5 x 113 x 9.81)

Ff=554.27N
