Answer:

The correct answer is tsunamis.

Explanation:

Ocean breakers are the waves whose amplitudes reaches up-to critical height and transfer large amount of wave energy into turbulent kinetic energy.

Tsunamis are long high sea waves caused by the earth quakes or other geological disturbances.

Where as Fetch is distance over which wind has blown the water on an ocean or lake to generate waves.

Whitecaps : The waves which white at the top.

Ocean crest is the maximum displacement of the water ijn the upward direction in wave.

Answer:

Whitecaps

Explanation:

<em>Tsunamis</em> are giant waves, sometimes reaching heights of over 100 feet (30.5 meters), caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea.

A<em> fetch</em> is an area of ocean or lake surface over which the wind blows in an essentially constant direction generating waves.

A <em>crest </em>is the point on a wave with the maximum value of upward displacement within a cycle.  

<em>Whitecaps are waves that grow too high for their bases, therefore they collapse quickly and lose </em>their energy forming a whitish foam.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

A sock with a mass of 0.03 kg is stuck to the inside of a clothes dryer spins
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

15.71 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Time; t = 0.2 s

Radius; r = 0.5 m

The circumference will give us the distance covered.

Formula for circumference is 2πr

Thus; Distance = 2πr = 2 × π × 0.5 = π

Linear speed = distance/time = π/0.2 = 15.71 m/s

When using the right-hand rule to determine the direction of the magnetic force on a charge, which part of the hand points in the direction that the charge is moving? The answer is <span>thumb.

</span>One way to remember this is that there is one velocity, represented accordingly by the thumb. There are many field lines, represented accordingly by the fingers. The force is in the direction you would push with your palm. The force on a negative charge is in exactly the opposite direction to that on a positive charge. Because the force is always perpendicular to the velocity vector, a pure magnetic field will not accelerate a charged particle in a single direction, however will produce circular or helical motion (a concept explored in more detail in future sections). It is important to note that magnetic field will not exert a force on a static electric charge. These two observations are in keeping with the rule that <span>magnetic fields do no </span>work<span>.</span>

A 13,000-N vehicle is to be lifted by a 25-cm diameter hydraulic piston. What force needs to be applied to a 5.0 cm diameter pis
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Pascal's Law in fluid mechanics

According to it , pressure is transmitted in liquid from one point to another without any change .

25 cm diameter = 12.5 x 10⁻² m radius

Area = 3.14 x (12.5 x 10⁻²)²

= 490.625 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Pressure by vehicle

Force / area

13000 / 490.625 x 10⁻⁴

= 26.497 x 10⁴ Pa

5 cm diameter = 2.5 x 10⁻² radius

area = 3.14 x (2.5 x 10⁻²)²

= 19.625 x 10⁻⁴ m²

If we assume required force F on this area

Pressure = F / 19.625 x 10⁻⁴ Pa

According to Pascal Law

F / 19.625 x 10⁻⁴  = 26.497 x 10⁴

F = 19.625 x 26.497

= 520 N

arlik [135]
The working equation for this one is:

E = F/Q, where E is the strength of the electric field, F is the electric force and Q is the charge. Substituting the corresponding values, the strength of the electric field is equal to

E = -30 nN/-3 nC
E = 10 nN/nC
