Explain how coral reefs alter the weathering and erosion of shorelines.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Coral reef structures also buffer shorelines against 97 percent of the energy from waves, storms, and floods, helping to prevent loss of life, property damage, and erosion. When reefs are damaged or destroyed, the absence of this natural barrier can increase the damage to coastal communities from normal wave action and violent storms.

On some strange planet you find that a 17.4 kg object falls downward 28.8 meters in 5.5 seconds. What is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet

Answers

Hi there!

[tex]\large\boxed{g = 1.904 m/s^2}[/tex]

Acceleration of gravity is unaffected by an object's mass.

In the absence of air resistance, we can use the following kinematic equation:

d = vit + 1/2at²

The object falls from rest, so:

d = 1/2at²

The acceleration in this instance is gravity, our unknown. We can rearrange the equation to solve for 'g':

2d/t² = g

2(28.8)/(5.5²) = 1.904 m/s²

A) with what velocity will it hit the ground?
B) How long will it take to descend?

Answers

Answer:

57.97m/s

12.1s

Explanation:

Use one of the key equations of accelerated motion and sub in the values

vf^2=vi^2+2aΔd

vf^2=(20)^2+(2*9.8)(150)

vf^2 = 3340

vf = 57.79m/s (square rooted both sides)

now use another equation

Δd = (vi+vf/2)Δt

and rearrange for Δt

Δt = (2Δd-vf)/vi

sub in values

Δt = (2*150-57.79)/20

Δt = 12.1s

Gas sample A has a mass of 32.00 grams. Gas sample B has a mass of 28.00
grams. If the two gas samples are both at 25°C, which sample has the greatest
average kinetic energy?

Answers

Answer:

I think 32.00

Explanation:

Because the equation is mass times velocity so is you mutiply 32 by 25 and 28 times 25 sample A would be greater.

The sample with the greatest average kinetic energy is sample A

The average kinetic energy of a sample can be estimated by the formula one-half of the mass sample multiplied by the speed (RMS) squared.

Mathematically, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{K.E_{avg} = \dfrac{1}{2}mv_{rms}^2}[/tex]

If the mass of sample A = 32.00 grams, andThe mass of sample B = 28.00

Provided that the speed (RMS) is constant, the average kinetic energy of sample A will be greater than the average kinetic energy of sample B because sample A has a greater mass than sample B.

A car is moving at a speed of 72 km / h on a horizontal section. What is the braking distance of the car if the friction force is equal to the size of the weight of the car? (20 m) (+ formula)

Answers

Answer:

20.4m

Explanation:

72kmhr(1000mkm)(hr3600sec)=20ms  

Use principles of conservation of energy.

The initial kinetic energy of the car is equal to the work done by friction during braking:

KE=Wfric  

12mv2=(Ffric)d  

but the force of friction = weight of the car = mg

12mv2=mgd  

mass cancels in both terms, which tells us the answer is independent of mass

12v2=gd  

12202=(9.81)d  

d=20.4m  

Note that the correct answer should actually be 20. m with only 2 significant figure accuracy since 72 km/hr only has 2 sig fig accuracy.

Answer:

v=30m/s

Explanation:

m = 1500kg

A small ball is attached to one end of a spring that has an unstrained length of 0.201 m. The spring is held by the other end, and the ball is whirled around in a horizontal circle at a speed of 3.41 m/s. The spring remains nearly parallel to the ground during the motion and is observed to stretch by 0.0176 m.

Required:
By how much would the spring stretch if it were attached to the ceiling and the ball allowed to hang straight down, motionless?

Answers

The extension of the spring when the ball is allowed to hang straight down, motionless is 0.0032 m.

The given parameters;

unstrained length, l₁ = 0.201 mextension of the string, x = 0.0176 mspeed of the ball, v = 3.41 m/s

The radius of the circular path when spring is stretched is calculated as;

R = l₁ + x

R = 0.201 + 0.0176

R = 0.2186 m

The spring constant is calculated as follows;

[tex]F = ma\\\\Kx = \frac{mv^2}{R} \\\\K = \frac{mv^2}{Rx} \\\\K = \frac{(3.41)^2 m}{0.2186 \times 0.0176} \\\\K = 3,022.4 m \ N/m[/tex]

The extension of the spring when the ball is allowed to hang straight down, motionless;

[tex]F = mg\\\\Kx=mg\\\\x = \frac{mg}{K} \\\\x = \frac{9.8 m}{3022.4 m} \\\\x = 0.0032 \ m[/tex]

Thus, the extension of the spring when the ball is allowed to hang straight down, motionless is 0.0032 m.

A small sphere 0.70 times as dense as water is dropped from a height of 8 m above the surface of a smooth lake. Determine the maximum depth to which the sphere will sink. Neglect any energy transferred to the water during impact and sinking.

Answers

Answer:

18.66m

Explanation:

This was actually fun! Let set up the problem first: As you drop the sphere, it will accelerate till it hits the water with a given speed [tex]\dot z[/tex]. Once sinking the ball is subjected to two forces: its own weight [tex]m_sg = \rho_sVg[/tex] directed towards the bottom of the lake, and buoyancy (Archimedes law), ie a force upward equal to the volume of displaced water, [tex]m_wg=\rho_wVg[/tex]. At this point it's the classical "how high can I toss a ball before it falls down" with a water twist. Please note that I'm using z as the height of the sphere, and [tex]\dot z; \ddot z[/tex] represent the velocity (with one dot) and the acceleration (with two dots) in the z direction .Let's assume the sign of all quantities being positive if directed upwards, and negative if towards the bottom of the lake.

Let's first determine how fast the ball hit the water. For me the easiest way is saying "at 8m it has a given potential energy, and 0 kinetic energy. When it hits the water it loses all potential energy and has only kinetic energy". In numbers:

[tex]m_sgz=\frac12m_s\dot z_0^2[/tex] Let's divide by the masses, g is a known value ([tex]9.81 ms^{-2}[/tex]), z is 8 meters, and we get that [tex]\dot z_0 = 4\sqrt g =12.52 m/s[/tex]

At this point, let's determine the force acting on the sphere, courtesy of Newton second law and the debate we had earlier:

[tex]m_s \ddot z = -m_sg + m_wg\\\rho_sV \ddot z = -\rho_sVg + \rho_wV g[/tex]

At this point we can divide by the volume of the sphere, and make use of the fact that [tex]\rho_s = 0.7 \rho_w[/tex]

[tex]0.7\rho_w \ddot z = -.7\rho_w g+ \rho_wg \rightarrow 0.7 \ddot z = 0.3 g\\\ddot z = \frac {0.3}{0.7} g= \frac 37g = 4.2 ms^-2[/tex]

We're almost there. At this point we can write the law of motion for the sphere.

[tex]\dot z = \dot z_0 + \ddot z t[/tex] that we will use to find the time for the ball to stop sinking - ie reaches 0 velocity.

[tex]0 = -12.52 +4.2t \rightarrow t= 12.52/4.2 \approx 3s[/tex]

At this point we can use the other law of motion to find out the distance traveled

[tex]z= z_0 + \dot z_ot + \frac12 \ddot z t^2\\z= 0 -12.52 (3) + \frac12 (4.2)(3)^2 = -37.56+18.90 = -18.66 m[/tex]

as usual, please double and triple check all the calculations, it's almost 1.30 am here and I am not the most confident number cruncher even when fully awake.

The following diagram shows a person exerting a
300.-newton force on the handle of a shovel that
makes an angle of 60. with the horizontal ground.

Determine the magnitude of the component of the
force perpendicular to the ground.

Answers

Answer:

260 Newtons

Explanation:

Okay, so what you have to do is know what the question is asking. It wants to know the force perpendicular to the ground. We know perpendicular makes a right angle, so we use the diagram to make it into a right triangle with a degree of 60, and hypotunese of 300 newtons. Now, we use basic trigonometry, we place x on the horizontal side since it perpendicular to the ground. We know it´s sin because x is opposite to 300 which is the hyp.

Sin= opp/hyp

x/300

sin(60)= x/300

300*sin(60)= 259.8, which rounds to

260 Newtons

The component of the force which is perpendicular to the ground is → F [y] = 261 a[y].

What are the components of a Vector?

A vector V making an angle θ with the x - axis, can be resolved into two two components along the x and y - axes respectively as →

V = Vcosθ a[x] + Vsinθ a[y]

where -

a[x] is the unit vector along the +x axis

a[y] is the unit vector along the +y axis.

Given is a force of magnitude 300 N acting on the handle that makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal ground.

The component normal to the ground will be the component along the  y - axis. The component along the y - axis is the sine component. Suppose that vector F represents the force of magnitude (|F|) 300 N. The component perpendicular to the ground will be -

F [y] =  |F| sinθ a[y]

F [y] = 300 x sin(60°)  a[y]

F [y] = 300 x 0.87

F [y] = 261 a[y]

Therefore, the component of the force which is perpendicular to the ground is → F [y] = 261 a[y].
