you and a friend setup an umbrella and chairs at a beach. your friend goes into the surf zone while you relax on the sand. sever

al minutes later, your friend is surprised to find that they are no longer where the chairs and umbrella were setup. although still in the surf zone, they are 30 to 40 meters from where they started. how would explain to your friend why they moved along the shore

Answer:

Backwash effect

Explanation:

Your friend moved along the shore due to ; The swash effect and the Backwash effect

Swash effect is caused by the upsurge of water up along the slopping front of the beach  and this same upsurge in water moves back into the beach in what is known as the backwash effect hence the movement of your friend form where they were in the surf zone to another position still within the surface zone is caused by the BACKWASH EFFECT

A truck initially traveling at a speed of 22 m/s increases at a constant rate of 2.4 m/s^2 for 3.2s. What is the total distance
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

82.7 m

Explanation:

u= 22m/s

a= 2.4 m/s^2.

t= 3.2 secs

Therefore the distance travelled can be calculated as follows

S= ut + 1/2at^2

= 22 × 3.2 + 1/2 × 2.4 × 3.2^2

= 70.4 + 1/2×24.58

= 70.4 + 12.29

= 82.7 m

Hence the distance travelled by the truck is 82.7 m

A 75Kg man jumps from a window 1.0m above the sidewalk. If the man falls with his knees and ankles locked, the only cushion for
liq [111]

Answer:

150153.06122 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of person = 75 kg

h = Height of fall = 1 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

F = Force

s = Displacement = 0.49 cm

Potential energy is given by

P=mgh\\\Rightarrow P=75\times 9.81\times 1\\\Rightarrow P=735.75\ J

Work is given by

W=Fs\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{W}{s}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{735.75}{0.0049}\\\Rightarrow F=150153.06122\ N

The average force exerted is 150153.06122 N

A large meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of 20.0 km/s and is not significantly slowed before entering the ocea
Shalnov [3]

The shock wave from the meteoroid in the lower atmosphere has a Mach angle of 0.948°.

(a) The meteoroid's speed v_s=20 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}

$=20 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$

Air sound wave speed &v=331 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \\

Speed of the shock wave in Mach &\qquad \theta=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{v}{v_s}\right)

                                                            $$\begin{aligned}&=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{331 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}}{20 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}}\right) \\&=0.948^{\circ}\end{aligned}$$

Hence, 0.948° is the Mach angle of the shock wave from the meteoroid in the lower atmosphere.

<h3>What is the speed of the meteoroid?</h3>

A meteoroid's speed can be loosely broken down into three categories: slow, medium, and fast.

  • Slow meteors move around the sun at a leisurely pace of about 32 kilometers per second (20 miles per second).
  • Medium-speed meteors travel around the sun at approximately 50 kilometers per second (30 miles per second),
  • while fast meteors zoom past at over 120 kilometers per second (75 miles per second)!
