Introduction
Waves are important for building up and breaking down shorelines. Waves transport sand onto and off of beaches. They transport sand along beaches. Waves carve structures at the shore.
Wave Action and Erosion
All waves are energy traveling through some type of material, such as water (Figure below). Ocean waves form from wind blowing over the water.
Ocean waves are energy traveling through water.
The largest waves form when the wind is very strong, blows steadily for a long time, and blows over a long distance.
The wind could be strong, but if it gusts for just a short time, large waves won’t form. Wave energy does the work of erosion at the shore. Waves approach the shore at some angle so the inshore part of the wave reaches shallow water sooner than the part that is further out. The shallow part of the wave ‘feels’ the bottom first. This slows down the inshore part of the wave and makes the wave ‘bend.’ This bending is called refraction.
Wave refraction either concentrates wave energy or disperses it. In quiet water areas, such as bays, wave energy is dispersed, so sand is deposited. Areas that stick out into the water are eroded by the strong wave energy that concentrates its power on the wave-cut cliff (Figure below).
The wave erodes the bottom of the cliff, eventually causing the cliff to collapse.
Other features of wave erosion are pictured and named in Figure below. A wave-cut platform is the level area formed by wave erosion as the waves undercut a cliff. An arch is produced when waves erode through a cliff. When a sea arch collapses, the isolated towers of rocks that remain are known as sea stacks.
(a) The high ground is a large wave-cut platform formed from years of wave erosion. (b) A cliff eroded from two sides produces an arch. (c) The top of an arch erodes away, leaving behind a tall sea stack.
Wave Deposition
Rivers carry sediments from the land to the sea. If wave action is high, a delta will not form. Waves will spread the sediments along the coastline to create a beach (Figure below). Waves also erode sediments from cliffs and shorelines and transport them onto beaches.
Sand deposits in quiet areas along a shoreline to form a beach.
Beaches can be made of mineral grains, like quartz, rock fragments, and also pieces of shell or coral (Figure below).
Quartz, rock fragments, and shell make up the sand along a beach.
Waves continually move sand along the shore. Waves also move sand from the beaches on shore to bars of sand offshore as the seasons change. In the summer, waves have lower energy so they bring sand up onto the beach. In the winter, higher energy waves bring the sand back offshore.
Some of the features formed by wave-deposited sand are in Figure below. These features include barrier islands and spits. A spit is sand connected to land and extending into the water. A spit may hook to form a tombolo.
Examples of features formed by wave-deposited sand.
Shores that are relatively flat and gently sloping may be lined with long narrow barrier islands (Figure below). Most barrier islands are a few kilometers wide and tens of kilometers long.
(a) Barrier islands off of Alabama. A lagoon lies on the inland side. (b) Barrier islands, such as Padre Island off the coast of Texas, are made entirely of sand. (c) Barrier islands are some of the most urbanized areas of our coastlines, such as Miami Beach.
In its natural state, a barrier island acts as the first line of defense against storms such as hurricanes. When barrier islands are urbanized (Figure above), hurricanes damage houses and businesses rather than vegetated sandy areas in which sand can move. A large hurricane brings massive problems to the urbanized area.
Protecting Shorelines
Intact shore areas protect inland areas from storms that come off the ocean (Figure below).
Dunes and mangroves along Baja California protect the villages that are found inland.

13) A mass attached to the free end of a spring executes simple harmonic motion according to the equation y = (0.50 m) sin (18π t) where y is in meters and t is seconds. What is the period of vibration?
Answers
Hi there!
The period is given by:
[tex]T = \frac{2\pi}{w}[/tex]
T = Period (sec)
w = angular frequency (rad/sec)
According to the equation for SHM in terms of position:
y(t) = Asin(ωt + φ)
A = Amplitude (m)
ω = angular frequency (rad/sec)
t = time (sec)
φ = phase angle
In this instance, the angular frequency is given as 18π.
Plug this value into the equation for T:
[tex]T= \frac{2\pi}{18\pi} = \frac{1}{9} = \boxed{0.111 s}[/tex]

Answers
Hi there!
Converting from angular velocity to tangential velocity can be done by:
v = ωr
v = tangential velocity (m/s)
ω = angular velocity (rad/sec)
r = radius (m)
Convert 12 cm to meters:
100 cm = 1 m
12 cm = 0.12 m
Now, convert rev/min to rad/sec:
[tex]{\frac{200rev}{min}} * \frac{1min}{60s} * \frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev} = 20.94 rad/sec[/tex]

Explanation:
We can solve this using conservation of energy. The energy in the system will be conserved since there are no outside forces acting upon it so the potential energy and kinetic energy will be equal. Giving us this formula to start:
1/2mv^2=mgh
m=mass
g=gravity
h=height
v=velocity
We can start by figuring out the total height the rock travels which we can do by subtracting the height of the frisbee by the height the rock started at.
19m-1.8m=17.2m
Now we can plug in our variables to solve for velocity.
First we negate mass since its on both sides and cancels out leaving us with.
1/2v^2=gh
Plug in.
1/2v^2=(9.8)(17.2)
1/2v^2=168.56
v^2=337.12
v=18.36m/s

Answers
Explanation:
a) Here is the free-body diagram. Note that I included the components of the weight mg (shown in dotted arrows) for use in the other parts of the problem.
b) The component of the weight parallel to the plane (shown in the diagram as a dotted arrow along the x-axis) is [tex]mg\sin15[/tex] and it is equal to
[tex]mg\sin15 = (25\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)\sin15 = 63.4\:\text{N}[/tex]
c) Applying Newton's 2nd law to the y-axis, we can write
[tex]y:\;\;\;N - mg\cos15 = 0 \Rightarrow N = mg\cos15[/tex]
[tex]N = (25\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)\cos15 = 236.7\:\text{N}[/tex]
d) The component of the weight mg into the plane is the same as the normal force, hence it's also 236.7 N.
e) To solve for the coefficient of friction, we apply Newton's 2nd law to the x-axis:
[tex]x:\;\;\;mg\sin15 - F_f = 0[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow F_f = mg\sin15\;\;(2)[/tex]
where [tex]F_f[/tex] is the frictional force defined as [tex]F_f = \mu N[/tex] so we can use Eqn(1) on Eqn (2) to write
[tex]\mu (mg\cos15) = mg\sin15[/tex]
Solving for [tex]\mu,[/tex] we get
[tex]\mu = \dfrac{\sin15}{\cos15} = \tan15 = 0.27[/tex]

When a low-pressure gas of hydrogen atoms is placed in a tube and a large voltage is applied to the end of the tube, the atoms will emit electromagnetic radiation and visible light can be observed. If this light passes through a diffraction grating, the resulting spectrum appears as a pattern of four isolated, sharp parallel lines, called spectral lines. Each spectral line corresponds to one specific wavelength that is present in the light emitted by the source. Such a discrete spectrum is referred to as a line spectrum.

There is a bell at the top of a tower that is 45 m high. The bell weighs 15 kg. The bell has energy. Calculate it.
Answers
Answer:
6621.75J
Explanation:
In this case, the bell is not in motion. So we are going to calculate its potential energy rather than its kinetic energy since kinetic energy is the energy a body possesses in motion.
The formula for the potential energy is m*g*h, meaning the mass * acceleration due to gravity * height. Here the mass, m = 15kg, the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s^2, and the height, h = 45m
Substituting our values, the answer becomes 15 * 9.81 * 45 = 6621.75J. Hope you understood my explanation?

a) Heating a gas causes the atoms to increase their kinetic energy. With only atmospheric pressure to contain it, the gas will decrease in density by pushing colder gas out of the way. The lid is then sealed to the jar and allowed to cool. The cooling gas, now constrained by the volume of the jar will be forced to lower its pressure to maintain equilibrium. The lower pressure inside the jar will allow the atmospheric pressure outside the jar to "click" the lid indicating a proper seal.
b Before opening there is a much lower pressure inside the jar than outside. The outside pressure keeps the lid constantly in the "clicked" position.
c After the jar is opened, the pressure on either side of the lid is equal and an unbalanced force applied to one side of the lid or the other can cause the lid to "click" or "unclick" depending on the initial position.
2) answer: The button is there to indicate that the jar has remained sealed. If it's down, the vacuum created during the processing has been maintained, and no air has leaked in. If it's up, and you didn't open it, there's no telling what could be growing in there. , food nerd extraordinaire.
3) answer: Those safety buttons are a raised area on the lid. These jars have been sealed under pressure, and when opened, the pressure is released, causing the raised area to raise or lift. This is the same as when foods are canned at home.

A 0.75 kg model car is moving west at a speed of 9.0 m/s when it collides head-on with a 2.00 kg model truck that is traveling east at a speed of 10.0 m/s. After the collision, the 0.75 kg model car is now moving east at 11 m/s. What is the speed and direction of the model truck after the collision?
Answers
Answer:
2.5 m/s east
Explanation:
Let east be the positive direction for velocity.
The change in momentum of the 0.75 kg model car is ...
m1·v2 -m1·v1 = (0.75 kg)(11 m/s) -(0.75 kg)(-9 m/s)
= (0.75 kg)(20 m/s) = 15 kg·m/s
The change in momentum of the 2.0 kg model car is the opposite of this, so the total change in momentum is zero.
m2·v2 -m2·v1 = (2 kg)(v2 m/s) -(2 kg)(10 m/s) = 2(v2 -10) kg·m/s
The required relation is ...
15 kg·m/s = -2(v2 -10) kg·m/s
-7.5 = v2 -10 . . . . divide by -2
2.5 = v2 . . . . . . . add 10
The velocity of the model truck after the collision is 2.5 m/s east.
