Every 10.0 seconds, a crest of the wave passes the pier. This means that the period of the wave is exactly 10.0 s:
which means that the frequency of the wave is
The wavelength of a wave is related to its frequency by the relationship
where v is the speed of the wave.
In this problem, v=5.6 m/s; if we use the previous formula, we find the wavelength of the wave:
"Erosion will increase, carrying more sand away than before" will most likely result.
Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Erosion occurs when the sea area is consumed. There are five main mechanisms that cause coastal erosion. There is corrasion, hydraulic performance, abrasion, oxidation and solution/ corrosion.
Corrasion occurs when the waves remove dirt from the floor (like pebbles) and rotate it at the bottom of the rock. The shoreline is usually longer. Softer areas are covered with sediment from hard areas and rocks are removed.
Here is the answer. In order for us to get the speed, we are just going to use the formula speed is equal to distance over time. Given that the distance s 200m and the time is 25s, this would give us the answer of 8m/sec. Hope this answers your question.
Answer:
0.000000002 m=2.0*10⁻⁹ m
Explanation:
Scientific notation allows us to write very large or very small numbers in abbreviated form. This notation simply consists of multiplying by a power of base 10 with a positive or negative exponent.
A number written in scientific notation has the form:
a*10ⁿ
where:
- the coefficient a has a value such that 1 ≤ a <10
- n is an integer. Represents the number of times the decimal point is shifted. It is always a whole number, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.
So to write the number 0.000000002 in scientific notation, the following steps are performed:
- The decimal point is moved to the right as many spaces until it reaches the right of the first digit.
- This number is then written, which will be the coefficient a in the expression of the previous product. So a=2.0
- The base 10 is written with the exponent equal to the number of spaces that the comma moves. So n=9. But this is a negative number because the comma shifts to the right.
So, you get: <u><em>0.000000002 m=2.0*10⁻⁹ m</em></u>
Answer:
If we use the equation for the transformation of velocities for moving frames:
v' = (v - u) / (1 - u * v / c^2) where we measure the speed of v' approaching from the left where v is in a frame moving at -u towards v'
v' = (.6 c - (-.6 c)) / (1 - (-.6 c) * .6 c / c^2) = 1.2 c / (1 + .6 * .6)
or v' = 1.2 c / (1 + .36) = .88 c
v is approaching from the left at .6 c in the reference frame and the other frame approaches from the right at -.6 c with speed u (-.6 c) and we measure the speed of v as seen in the frame moving to the left
