Taking into account the definition of wavelength, frecuency and propagation speed, the frequency of the waves in the tsunami is 2.59×10⁻⁴ Hz.

<h3>What is wavelength, frecuency and propagation speed</h3>

First of all, wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points on the wave that are in the same state of vibration. It is expressed in units of length (m).

On the other side, frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

Finally, the propagation speed is the speed with which the wave propagates in the medium, that is, it is the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave disturbance propagates along its displacement.

The propagation speed relate the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) inversely proportional using the following equation:

v = f×λ

<h3>Frequency of the waves in the tsunami</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • v=700 km/h= 0.194 km/s
  • f= ?
  • λ= 750 km

Replacing:

0.194 m/s=f× 750 km

Solving:

f= 0.194 m/s ÷ 750 km

<u><em>λ= 2.59×10⁻⁴ Hz</em></u>

In summary, the frequency of the waves in the tsunami is 2.59×10⁻⁴ Hz.

svp [43]
Coefficient of performance or more commonly known as COP is calculated through the equation,
                                 COP = ((T₂)/(T₂ - T₁)) 
where T₂ is the hot temperature and T₁ is the cold temperature. Similarly, these can also be,
                      COP = heat ejected / (heat ejected - heat provided)
 Substituting,
                     COP = 22,000 / (22,000 - 15,000) = 3.14
Thus, the value of the COP is approximately 3.14.

I need help in my physics class and show me how it’s done
Korolek [52]

If we have the angle and magnitude of a vector A we can find its Cartesian components using the following formula

A_x = |A|cos(\alpha)\\\\A_y = |A|sin(\alpha)

Where | A | is the magnitude of the vector and \alpha is the angle that it forms with the x axis in the opposite direction to the hands of the clock.

In this problem we know the value of Ax and Ay and we need the angle \alpha.

Vector A is in the 4th quadrant

So:

A_x = 6\\\\A_y = -6.5

So:

|A| = \sqrt{6^2 + (-6.5)^2}\\\\|A| = 8.846

So:

Ay = -6.5 = 8.846cos(\alpha)\\\\sin(\alpha) = \frac{-6.5}{8.846}\\\\sin(\alpha) = -0.7348\\\\\alpha = sin^{- 1}(- 0.7348)

\alpha = -47.28 ° +360° = 313 °

\alpha = 313 °

A railroad cart with a mass of m1 = 11.6 t is at rest at the top of an h = 10.9 m high hump yard hill.
leonid [27]

The final common speed of the two carts will be 69.3 m/sec.The momentum conservation principle is applied.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.

Unit conversion:

1 metric tons = 1000 kg

Given data;

m₁= 11.6 metric ton =11600 kg

m₂ = 23.2 metric ton =  23200 kg

Let v represent the combined velocity of the two carts once they are connected, and let u represent the starting velocity of cart 1 when it reaches the bottom.

Considering energy conservation;

\rm  m_1 g h = \frac{1}{2} m_1 \times  u^2 \\\\ u^2 = 2gh\\\\ u^2 = 2  \times 9.8 \times 10.6 \\\\  u = 207.972 \ m/s

From the conservation of momentum principle;

\rm m_1 \times  u = (m_1 + m_2) v\\\\ 11600 \times  207.972 = (11600 + 23200) \times v \\\\ v = 69.3  \ m/s

Hence, the final common speed of the two carts will be 69.3 m/sec.

If 317. 7 coulombs was used in an electrolytic cell, how many grams of zn would we expect to be plated from a zn2 solution onto
viva [34]

Answer: The amount of Zn plated from a solution is 1.07×10^{-1} grams.

Explanation: In this question, it is given that of 317.7 coulombs was used in an electrolytic cell, i.e,

The amount of charge = 317.7 coulombs

The amount of charge of 1 mole of electrons = 96485.3 coulombs   ( FARADAY’S CONSTANT )

Now,    the number of electrons = amount of charge given / charge of 1 mole of electrons

            The number of electrons =  \frac{317.7}{96485.3}  =   3.29×10^{-3}

According to reaction occurring, 2 moles of electrons are required to convert 1 mole of   to Zn which is plated on the electron, so the moles of Zn plated will be half the moles of electrons, i.e.,

                                                          \frac{3.29*10^{-3} }{2}     =  1.645×10^{-3}

Now, we know that the molar mass of zinc is 65.38gm/mole,

          Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

          Mass in grams = number of moles × molar mass

          Mass in grams =  (1.645×10^{-3}) × 65.38  =  0.1075 gm.

Conclusion: It concludes that the amount of Zn plated from a 1.07×10^{-1}  solution is  gm.
