What else can I help you with?
Why does a wave move toward the shore but the leaf floating on the surface of the water doesnt?
Waves are generated by the wind and transfer energy to the water, causing it to move towards the shore. The leaf, however, is subject to different forces such as surface tension, buoyancy, and wind resistance, which may counteract the motion of the waves, keeping it in place on the water's surface.
What will an object floating in the ocean do?
An object floating in the ocean will be carried by the currents and waves, drifting with the water. Its movement and eventual destination will be determined by the ocean's circulation patterns and wind conditions.
Why does oil in a bowl of water get repelled when washing liquid is dropped on it?
The oil is not repelled. It is floating on the surface of the water as a thin film. Water has very high surface tension, but when soap or detergent is added to water that surface tension suddenly drops. The water surface now contracts like a punctured rubber sheet toward the remaining area of high surface tension, dragging the oil film floating on its surface with it.
How does wind move through water to the shore?
Wind pushes against the surface of the water, creating friction and transferring its energy to the water. This energy causes the water molecules to move and transmit the motion to neighboring molecules, generating a ripple effect known as surface waves. These surface waves then travel toward the shore, carrying the energy of the wind with them.
What do you call the movement of water toward the shore or upstream?
invection
Does water move in waves toward shore?
Yep it sure does :) (:
When you swim what is the force of the water which pushes you toward the surface?
The buoyant force pushes you toward the surface.
Which diagram shows only a transerve wave?
water travling toward a shore
What type of wind is a movement to air toward water?
An off shore brease.
What is wood floating in water called?
Wood floating in water is called driftwood. Driftwood is wood that has been washed up onto a beach or shore by the action of tides, waves, or wind.
What happens when detergent is added to the floating object in the water?
When detergent is added to a floating object in water, it can break the surface tension of the water causing the object to sink. This happens because the detergent molecules disrupt the cohesive forces that keep the object floating by reducing the surface tension of the water.
How do floating plants protect small water animals?
Floating plants protect small water animals by floating near the surface of the water and preventing birds from eating or harming the animals underneath.
