Sammy feels an ocean breeze as he plays volleyball at the beach. Why do ocean winds or sea breezes blow toward shore during the

day? Question 2 options: Air over the beach heats up, rises and is replaced by ocean air. Earth's rotation causes air to blow toward land. he energy of the ocean storms push air toward shore. Ocean air is less dense, so it rises to replace air over the land.

The heat coming from the sun warms the land more quickly than the sea. As a result of these, the air near the land warm up and rises and the cooler air from the sea moves in to replace the risen air. The correct answer is option A

There will be heat transfer from a region of higher temperature to the region of lower temperature. But in the case of land and sea breeze, the transfer of heat are the result of convectional current in nature. Because the land is a better absorber of heat and also has a lower specific heat capacity compare to sea, during the day, the heat coming from the sun warms the land more quickly than the sea. As a result of these, the air near the land warm up and rises.

The cooler air from the sea moves in to replace the risen air.

Why do ocean winds or sea breezes blow toward shore during the day ? It is because air over the beach heats up, rises and is replaced by ocean air.

Therefore, option A is correct

A block is pulled across a flat surface at a constant speed using a force of 50 newtons at an angle of 60 degrees above the hori
vladimir2022 [97]

The magnitude of the friction force is 25 N

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just have to analyze the forces acting on the block along the horizontal direction. We have:

  • The horizontal component of the pulling force, F cos \theta, where F = 50 N is the magnitude and \theta=60^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of the force and the horizontal; this force acts in the  forward direction
  • The force of friction, F_f, acting in the backward direction

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the block in the horizontal direction must be equal to the product between the mass of the block and its acceleration:

\sum F_x = ma_x

where

m is the mass of the block

a_x is the horizontal acceleration

However, the block is moving at constant speed, so the acceleration is zero:

a_x = 0

So the equation becomes

\sum F_x = 0 (1)

The net force here is given by

\sum F_x = F cos \theta - F_f (2)

And so, by combining (1) and (2), we find the magnitude of the friction force:

F cos \theta - F_f = 0\\F_f = F cos \theta = (50)(cos 60^{\circ})=25 N

On a hot summer day in the state of Washington while kayaking, I saw several swimmers jump from a railroad bridge into the Snoho
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: part a: 19.62m

part b: 19.62 m/s

part a: 2.83 secs

Explanation:If the air resistance is ignored then the swimmer experience free fall under gravity hence

u=0

a=9.81 m/s2

t=2 secs

s=ut+0.5at^2

s=h

h=0*2+0.5*9.81*2^2\\h=19.62 meters

Part b

v=u+at\\v=0+9.81*2\\v=19.62m/s

Part c

now we have h=2*19.62=39.24

39.24=0+0.5*9.81*t^2\\t^2=8\\t=2.83 secs

Which property of light is a constant in a vacuum?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

La velocidad de la luz en el vacío es una constante universal con el valor de 299 792 458 m/s (186 282,397 mi/s),​​aunque suele aproximarse a 3·108 m/s. Se simboliza con la letra c, proveniente del latín celéritās (en español, celeridad o rapidez).

¿Cuál es la consecuencia que a velocidad de la luz sea constante?

Respuesta. En modificaciones del vacío más sutiles, como espacios curvos, efecto Casimir, poblaciones térmicas o presencia de campos externos, la velocidad de la luz depende de la densidad de energía de ese vacío.
