a. The speed of the tsunami at ocean depth of 8000 m is 1,019.66 km/h.

b. The speed of the tsunami at ocean depth of 3500 m is 660.75 km/h.

c. The speed of the tsunami at ocean depth of 70 m is 89.66 km/h.

d. The speed of the tsunami at ocean depth of 5 m is 30.625 km/h.

<h3>Speed of the tsunami at the given depths</h3>

The speed of the tsunami is calculated from method of extrapolation or interpolation as shown below;

<h3>Speed at 8000 meters</h3>

8000 m -------- ?

7000 m -------- 943 km/h

4000 m -------- 713 km/h

(8000 - 7000)/(7000 - 4000) = (? - 943)/(943 - 713)

0.3333 =  (? - 943)/230

230(0.3333) = ? - 943

76.66 = ? - 943

? = 1,019.66 km/h

<h3>Speed at 3500 m</h3>

4000 m ---------- 713 km/h

3500 m ---------- ?

2000 m ----------- 504 km/h

(4000 - 3500)/(4000 - 2000) = (713 - ?) / (713 - 504)

0.25 =  (713 - ?) /209

0.25(209) = 713 - ?

52.25 = 713 - ?

? = 660.75 km/h

<h3>Speed at 70 m</h3>

200 m ------ 159 km/h

70 m --------- ?

50 m ------- 79 km/h

(200 - 70)/(200 - 50) = (159 - ?)/(159 - 79)

0.8667 = 159 - ? / 80

80(0.8667) = 159 - ?

69.336 = 159 - ?

? = 89.66 km/h

<h3>Speed at 5 meters</h3>

50 m ------- 79 km/h

10 m --------- 36 km/h

5 m ---------- ?

(50 - 5)/(50 - 10) = (79 - ?)/(79 - 36)

1.125 = 79 - ?/43

43(1.125) = 79 - ?

48.375 = 79 - ?

? = 30.625 km/h

A rifle bullet with mass ma = 8.00 g strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass mb = 0.992 kg that rests on a frictionless,
Doss [256]

Answer:

the magnitude of the velocity of the block just after impact is 2.598 m/s and the original speed of the bullect is 324.76m/s.

Explanation:

a)  Kinetic energy of block = potential energy in spring  

½ mv² = ½ kx²

Here m stands for combined mass (block + bullet),

which is just 1 kg.  Spring constant k is unknown, but you can find it from given data:  

k = 0.75 N / 0.25 cm

= 3 N/cm, or 300 N/m.  

From the energy equation above, solve for v,

v = v √(k/m)  

= 0.15 √(300/1)

= 2.598 m/s.

b)  Momentum before impact = momentum after impact.

Since m = 1 kg,

v = 2.598 m/s,

p = 2.598 kg m/s.  

This is the same momentum carried by bullet as it strikes the block.  Therefore, if u is bullet speed,  

u = 2.598 kg m/s / 8 × 10⁻³ kg

= 324.76 m/s.

Hence, the magnitude of the velocity of the block just after impact is 2.598 m/s and the original speed of the bullect is 324.76m/s.

Why do windows of distant houses appear to reflect the sun only when rising or setting
alisha [4.7K]
<span> most importantly, the sun is reflected back at the same angle as the angle of incidence, so with vertical panes of glass and the sun overhead, the reflection will just hit the ground before traveling any distance. </span>

Do you have to use significant figures in converting temperatures
schepotkina [342]
Not only in converting temperatures I think, we always use significant figures every time we want to make some experimental report using the exact data from our experiment. If that isn't experimental report ( some exercise/questions from your textbook) it's not necessary
