Refraction is
the bending of the waves which is result of the fact that different parts of
the wave reach the water with different speeds because of the angle approaching
the shore.
<span>The
wave refraction disperses the wave energy in quiet water areas and sand is
deposited.<span> </span></span>
Answer:
2.5 x 10^{5} J
Explanation:
weight = 5,000 N
coefficient of friction = 0.05
distance = 1000 m
how much work is done by the dogs pulling the sledge
work done = force x coefficient of friction x distance
work done = 5000 x 0.05 x 1000 = 2.5 x 10^{5} J
You're answer is B. P waves are more dynamic and have a great autonomy to be able generate a earthquake.
Answer:
E. Zero Maximum
Explanation:
At the point of maximum displacement, the speed is zero while the restoring force is maximum. In fact:
- The restoring force is given by
, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement - at the point of maximum displacement, x is maximum, so F is maximum as well
- the total energy of the system is sum of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy:

where m is the mass of the system and v is the speed. Since E (the total energy) is constant due to the law of conservation of energy, we have that when K increases, U decreases, and viceversa. As a result, when x increases, v decreases, and viceversa. At the point of maximum displacement, x is maximum, so v will have its minimum value (which is zero, since the system is changing direction of motion).
