Answer:
The question above would be written again but this time with options attached to it for comprehension sake:
Which of the following best describes the formation of surf?
A. Waves energy, rebounding from its impact with shore, crashes into oncoming waves, causing them to break.
B. Entering shallow water forces wave energy upward, making the wave crest unstable and causing it to break.
C. A wave encountering shallow water begins to slow at its bottom, while the top of the wave continues at its previous speed. This causes the wave to break.
D. As waves enter shallow water, the distance between wave crests (wavelength) shortens, increasing the tendency to break.
The correct answer is option C (A wave encountering shallow water begins to slow at its bottom, while the top of the wave continues at its previous speed. This causes the wave to break).
Explanation:
Surf could mean crashing waves or breaking waves. Generally, the wave speed is constant in the same medium, however, the wave speed decreases as it enters shallow water which is largely due to the water depth which is relatively small, especially when it encounters the bottom of the shallow water. While the top of the wave overtakes the bottom of the wave, making sure the top of the wave continues at its previous speed.
You need to pick up a book off the floor and place it on a tabletop. You do 1.56J of work to lift the book with a force of 300N. What is the distance?

Distance = 0.0052 m
Explanation:
Work =1.56J
Force = 300N
Distance = ?
Work=Force*Distance
1.56 J = 300N * Distance
1.56/300 = Distance
0.0052 m = Distance
What wave phenomena best describes the reason for the dark and light bands that
appear on the optical screen during the double slit experiment?
Answer:
Interference
Explanation:
Interference is the phenomenon in which two waves superimpose to form a wave with smaller, larger or same amplitude.
There are two types of interference namely, constructive interference and destructive interference.
Constructive interference occurs when the waves are in phase and destructive interference occurs when the waves are out of phase.
In a double slit experiment, the two slits acts as sources of light and thus the waves combine to produce interference patterns. When the waves are in phase, that is the angle between them is 0°, they form a constructive interference pattern which gives rise to a light band. When the waves are out of phase, that is the angle between them is 180°, they form a destructive interference pattern which gives rise to a dark band.
Note also that diffraction patterns are also observed for wide slits but can be neglected for smaller slits.
How high can a body vertically thrown with a speed of 40m/s raise after 3 sec (neglecting air
resistance)
y = 75.9 m
Explanation:
y = -(1/2)gt^2 + v0yt + y0
If we put the origin of our coordinate system at the point where a body is launched, then y0 = 0.
y = -(1/2)(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)^2 + (40 m/s)(3 s)
= -44.1 m + 120 m
= 75.9
A nucleus with mass number 229 emits a 3.443 MeV alpha particle. Calculate the disintegration energy Q for this process, taking the recoil energy of the residual nucleus into account.
Answer:
3.504 MeV
Explanation:
Given that;[tex]\frac{A}{Z} X ---->\frac{A-4}{Z-2} Y +\alpha + Q[/tex]
Also;
[tex]Q= KE_{\alpha } (M_{Y} + M_{\alpha } /M_{Y[/tex])
Mass number of X = 229
Mass number of Y = 225
Mass number of alpha particles = 4
Kinetic energy of alpha particles = 3.443 MeV
Q = 3.443 MeV (225 + 4/225)
Q= 3.504 MeV
Find the temperature of a mixture obtained by mixing 32 grams of water at a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius with 88 grams of water at a temperature of 75 degrees Celsius.

60.87 °C
Explanation:
Applying,
Heat lost = heat gain
cm'(t₂-t₃) = cm(t₃-t₁).............. Equation 1
Equation 1 can futher be simplified to
m'(t₂-t₃) = m(t₃-t₁)................Equation 2
Where m' = mass of the hot water, m = mass of the cold water, t₁ = initial temperature of the cold water, t₂ = initial temperature of the hot water, t₃ = temperature of the mixture.
From the question,
Given: m' = 88 g, m = 32 g, t₁ = 22°C, t₂ = 75°C
Substitute these values into equation 2
88(75-t₃) = 32(t₃-22)
6600-88t₃ = 32t₃-704
32t₃+88t₃ = 6600+704
120t₃ = 7304
t₃ = 60.87 °C
You have just learned that the planet core of Mars is no longer radiating heat like the core of Earth. With this information what would you communicate to building designers as the lead geologist in regards to suitable building locations on the surface of Mars? Remember your informing builders about locations that would best avoid natural disasters like marsquakes and volcanoes? What evidence or theories do you have to support your statements?
Answer:
Explanation:
That is a fun question!
Without a hot radiating core like Earth, Mars will have very different geological and seismic events. The Mars core will be relatively cold and there will not be any molten magma. So Mars will not have earthquakes or volcano activities. Both only occur when there is magma flowing or tectonic plate motion and they will not occur with a cold core.

If you were capable of converting mass to energy with 100%, efficiency, how much mass would you need to produce 3.5x10^12 Joules of energy?
Answer:
a) 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ kg
Explanation:
The amount of mass required to produce the energy can be given by Einstein's formula:
[tex]E = mc^2\\\\m = \frac{E}{c^2}[/tex]
where,
m = mass required = ?
E = Energy produced = 3.5 x 10¹² J
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
Therefore,
[tex]m = \frac{3.5\ x\ 10^{12}\ J}{(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)^2} \\\\m = 3.9\ x\ 10^{-5}\ kg[/tex]
Hence, the correct option is:
a) 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ kg

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 24 m/s to 15 m/s in 12 seconds. What is the automobile's acceleration? (Remember that a negative value indicates a slowing down or deceleration.) don't forget to write the formula(1pt.) and the unit (1pt.)
Answer:
Acceleration = -0.75 m/s²
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Initial velocity = 24 m/s
Final velocity = 15 m/s
Time = 12 seconds
To find the acceleration of the automobile;
Acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.
This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.
Hence, if we subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that by the time, we can calculate an object’s acceleration.
Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;
[tex]Acceleration (a) = \frac {final \; velocity - initial \; velocity}{time}[/tex]
Substituting into the formula, we have;
[tex] Acceleration = \frac{15 - 24}{12}[/tex]
[tex] Acceleration = \frac{-9}{12}[/tex]
Acceleration = -0.75 m/s²
Therefore, the automobile is decelerating because its final velocity is lesser than its initial velocity, leading to a negative value.

Stars appear to move in circular paths through the sky because ________________________ Group of answer choices The stars orbit Polaris The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy Earth orbits the sun Earth rotates on its axis
Answer:
Earth rotates on its axis
Explanation:
A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.
It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).
Some of the examples of stars are; Canopus, Sun (closest to the Earth), Betelgeus, Antares, Vega etc.
Earth rotation can be defined as the amount of time taken by planet earth to complete its spinning movement on its axis.
This ultimately implies that, the rotation of earth refers to the time taken by earth to rotate once on its axis. One spinning movement of the earth on its axis takes approximately 24 hours to complete with respect to the sun.
As a result of the Earth's rotation on it's axis, stars generally appear to move in circular paths through the sky.

Two arrows are shot vertically upward. The second arrow is shot after the first one, but while the first is still on its way up. the initial speeds are such that both arrows reach their maximum heights at the same instant, although these heights are different. Suppose the that initial speed of the first arrow is 34 m/s and that the second arrow is fired 0.204081632653061 seconds after the first. Determine the initial speed of the second arrow.
Answer:
The initial speed of the second arrow is 33.8 m/s.
Explanation:
initial speed of first arrow, u = 34 m/s
Let the initial height of the second arrow is h.
Let they both reaches at maximum height H.
Let the time taken by the first arrow is t and the second arrow is t - 0.0204
Let the initial speed of the second arrow is u'.
Use first equation of motion for the first arrow.
v = u - gt
0 = u - gt
34 = gt ..... (1)
For the second arrow
v =u' - g (t - 0.0204)
0 = u' - gt + 9.8 x 0.0204
u' = 34 - 0.1999 = 33.8 m/s

Sobre un barco, que se mueve en forma rectilínea, y con velocidad constante de 30 [km/h], se mueve un perro en el mismo sentido del barco a una velocidad de 10 [km/h]. Si alguien observa sentado desde la playa, ¿a qué velocidad verá correr al perro sobre la cubierta del barco?
Answer:
El observador verá correr al perro sobre la cubierta del barco a una velocidad de 40 kilómetros por hora.
Explanation:
Para determinar la velocidad del perro con respecto al observador sentado desde la playa a través del concepto de velocidad relativa, descrito en la siguiente fórmula:
[tex]v_{P/B} = v_{P} - v_{B}[/tex] (1)
Donde:
[tex]v_{P/B}[/tex] - Velocidad del perro relativo al barco, en kilómetros por hora.
[tex]v_{P}[/tex] - Velocidad del perro con respecto al observador, en kilómetros por hora.
[tex]v_{B}[/tex] - Velocidad del barco con respecto al observador, en kilómetros por hora.
Si sabemos que [tex]v_{B} = 30\,\frac{km}{h}[/tex] y [tex]v_{P/B} = 10\,\frac{km}{h}[/tex], entonces la velocidad del perro con respecto al observador es:
[tex]v_{P} = v_{B} + v_{P/B}[/tex]
[tex]v_{P} = 30\,\frac{km}{h} + 10\,\frac{km}{h}[/tex]
[tex]v_{P} = 40\,\frac{km}{h}[/tex]
El observador verá correr al perro sobre la cubierta del barco a una velocidad de 40 kilómetros por hora.

double the force constant
Explanation:
For this exercise we see that the unit mass to the spring executes a simple harmonic motion, the maximum mechanical energy is
Em = ½ k A²
where A is the range of motion
To double the energy we must increase the amplitude or the spring constant
Therefore, to double the total energy we must increase the amplitude by an amount √2
or we can increase the spring constant to double
The correct answer is to double the force constant
