d. They change direction and intensity when they encounter different material. 13. What are shallow, intermediate, and deep earthquake classifications based on? [pic] a. frequency of the largest wave b. the amount of damage [pic] c. the depth of the focus d. amplitude of the largest wave 14. According to the seismogram shown in the figure, which wave is the fastest?
1. Does the ideal Gas Law do a reasonable job at predicting the behavior of the gas undergoing changes in temperature, pressure, and volume? Justify your answer with supporting evidence. Considering most gases don’t follow the ideal standards of the Ideal Gas Law, the law itself still provides reasonable calculations in predicting the behavior of gas. As long as we were able to identity two out of the three unknown variables, we could use the formula: PV=nRT to calculate the unknown value.
I am going to find out whether the wave height and wave frequency determines the type of wave. There are two different types of waves and they are constructive waves and destructive waves. Constructive waves have a stronger swash and have a weaker backwash. Constructive waves deposits sediments and it forms the beach. Destructive waves have a stronger backwash and have a weaker swash.
These methods – a raster approach and finite element approach resulted in a similarly accurate estimation when compared to satellite imagery. Some models, while solving for flow regimes and elevations, also take into account sediment transport. This is an important aspect of fluvial hydraulics. HEC‐6 is another USACE model for fluvial hydraulics, this one specializing in sediment transport. Similar to HEC‐RAS, HEC‐6 models the river system as one dimensional.
Location 3 (low tide mark) has many biotic pressures such as wave action, fluctuations in water temperature and predators. Barnacles have many physical adaptations to cope living in this area. They have a tough, hydrodynamic shell, which allows them to withstand the constant pounding of the waves when the tides are high. The shell is also strong to protect themselves from predators that come across the area. In addition Barnacles secrete a cement.
Description and Theories A. Principles and Theories Used to Obtain our Result An conventional spring, when subjected the weight (w=mg) of an object at one of its terminations, will displace a certain distance, x, with an equal and opposite force, F, being created in the spring of which opposes the pull of the weight. This conventional spring will become significantly distorted if it is subjected to a large enough weight and the force, F, will only be able to return the spring to its original configuration once the burden is removed. The force that will restore the spring to its original configuration is directly proportional to the displacement that occurred. The following equation represents this relationship where k denotes the spring constant or stiffness of the spring, F=-kx Since x symbolizes the displacement or change in the length of the spring the above equation can now be surmised in the following manner, F=mg=-k∆l This new form makes it evident that a linear proportion exists between the plot of F as function of changing in length, ∆, thus confirming the spring does in fact obey Hooke’s Law.
Therefore it is fundamental that the company acquire an insurance policy with enough coverage for partial hull damages and total hull losses that doesn’t boost overall costs unjustifiably. The main purpose of this management report is to establish the best alternative to self-insurance by the company, given the three possible options: Continue as self-insured, Quote one, and quote two. These options are examined based on the following probabilities than an event actually happens. 1. Probability of 0 total hull loss in a given year 2.
Strong electrolytes produce large numbers of ions, which results in high conductivity values. Weak electrolytes result in low conductivity, and non-electrolytes should result in no conductivity. In this experiment, you will observe several factors that determine whether or not a solution conducts, and if so, the relative magnitude of the conductivity. Thus, this simple experiment allows you to learn a great deal about different compounds and their resulting solutions. In each part of the experiment, you will be observing a different property of electrolytes.
A) Hydrogen bonds are strong enough to confer structural stability, for example in DNA. B) Hydrogen bonds are weak enough to be easily broken (weaker than covalent bonds). C) They contribute to the water solubility of many macromolecules. D) All of the above Answer: D Page Ref: Section 5 27) London dispersion forces are attractive forces that arise due to A) infinitesimal dipoles generated by the constant random motion of electrons. B) permanent dipoles of molecules containing covalent bonds between atoms of very different electronegativities.
Through this, I could observe any major alterations in the coastline and determine how these were influenced by coastal management. It could be seen that the areas protected by sea defences such as Hornsea had changed far less in comparison to those without. The Hull University Website also proved beneficial in providing a range of quantitative data detailing the changes in the amount of cliff lost and the rate of erosion as far back as 1951. The highest rate was recorded at Ulrome at 2.61m a year whilst the lowest rate could be observed at Hornsea at a rate of 0.79m a year. From this, it could be inferred that the areas protected with sea defences experienced minimal erosion in comparison to those lacking this.
