In a harbor, you can see sea waves traveling around the edges of small stationary boats. Why does this happen?

1 answer:

8 0

Below are the choices that can be found in the other sources:

A. diffraction
B. refraction 
C. reflection 
D. transmission

The answer is diffraction. It means that the process by which a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge, typically accompanied by interference between the wave forms produced.

matrenka [14]

(a) does an electric field exert a force on a stationary charged object?
Yes. The force exerted by an electric field of intensity E on an object with charge q is
 $F=qE$
As we can see, it doesn't depend on the speed of the object, so this force acts also when the object is stationary.

(b) does a magnetic field do so?
No. In fact, the magnetic force exerted by a magnetic field of intensity B on an object with charge q and speed v is
 $F=qvB \sin \theta$
where $\theta$ is the angle between the direction of v and B.
As we can see, the value of the force F depends on the value of the speed v: if the object is stationary, then v=0, and so the force is zero as well.

(c) does an electric field exert a force on a moving charged object?
Yes, The intensity of the electric force is still
 $F=qE$
as stated in point (a), and since it does not depend on the speed of the charge, the electric force is still present.

(d) does a magnetic field do so?
Yes. As we said in point b, the magnetic force is
$F=qvB \sin \theta$
And now the object is moving with a certain speed v, so the magnetic force F this time is different from zero.

(e) does an electric field exert a force on a straight current-carrying wire?
Yes. A current in a wire consists of many charges traveling through the wire, and since the electric field always exerts a force on a charge, then the electric field exerts a force on the charges traveling through the wire.

(f) does a magnetic field do so?
Yes. The current in the wire consists of charges that are moving with a certain speed v, and we said that a magnetic field always exerts a force on a moving charge, so the magnetic field is exerting a magnetic force on the charges that are traveling through the wire.

(g) does an electric field exert a force on a beam of moving electrons?
Yes. Electrons have an electric charge, and we said that the force exerted by an electric field is
 $F=qE$
So, an electric field always exerts a force on an electric charge, therefore on an electron beam as well.

(h) does a magnetic field do so?
Yes, because the electrons in the beam are moving with a certain speed v, so the magnetic force
 $F=qvB \sin \theta$
is different from zero because v is different from zero.

Where is the steering nozzle located on a pwc?

Dvinal [7]

At the rear.

PWC stands for personal watercraft, and it is a small powerboat. The main components of a PWC are the hull (body of the boat), deck (surface where people walk/stand), throttle (controls speed), steering nozzle and water intake.
