<h2>Answer: The tsunami occurred on 1958 at Lituya Bay, Alaska. </h2>

The Lituya Bay tsunami occurred on July 9th, 1958, northeast of the Gulf of Alaska. It was as a consequence of a strong earthquake of magnitude 8.3 on the Ritchter scale along the Fairweather Fault in the Alaskan Panhandle, which caused a landslide in a fjord in Lituya Bay, collapsing an entire mountain and generating a gigantic wave that rose to <u>524 meters</u>, the highest recorded so far.

It should be noted that despite its great magnitude and having uprooted all the trees and vegetation of the place, this mega-tsunami claimed only five lives because the area was not as inhabited as the large cities are.

A -0.00325 C charge q1 is placed 5.62 m from a second charge q2. The first charge is repelled with a 48900 N force. What is the

Answer: q2 = -0.05286

Explanation:

Given that

Charge q1 = - 0.00325C

Electric force F = 48900N

The electric field strength experienced by the charge will be force per unit charge. That is

E = F/q

Substitute F and q into the formula

E = 48900/0.00325

E = 15046153.85 N/C

The value of the repelled second charge will be achieved by using the formula

E = kq/d^2

Where the value of constant

k = 8.99×10^9Nm^2/C^2

d = 5.62m

Substitutes E, d and k into the formula

15046153.85 = 8.99×10^9q/5.62^2

15046153.85 = 284634186.5q

Make q the subject of formula

q2 = 15046153.85/ 28463416.5

q2 = 0.05286

Since they repelled each other, q2 will be negative. Therefore,

q2 = -0.05286

Answer:

Explanation:

All the rest of the information is extraneous. The only 2 things you have to know are

d = 20 km

t = 8 minutes = 8/60 hours = 0.13333333

So the speed is s = d/t

s = 20/0.1333333 = 150 km/hour

Note: you have not specified what units the speed is. I suppose you could answer 20/8 = 2.5 km/min
