<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.

Answer: $(48.41,\ 52.19)$

Explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

$\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Given : Sample size : $n=9$

Sample mean : $\ovreline{x}=50.3\text{ decibels}$

Standard deviation : $\sigma=2.9\text{ decibels }$

Significance level : $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

Now, the 95% confidence interval estimate of the (true, unknown) mean sound intensity of all food processors of this type :-

$50.3\pm (1.96)\dfrac{2.9}{\sqrt{9}}\\\\\approx50.3\pm1.89\\\\=(50.3-1.89,\ 50.3+1.89)=(48.41,\ 52.19)$

A 0.320 kg ball approaches a bat horizontally with a speed of 14.0 m/s and after getting hit by the bat, the ball moves in the o

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step one:

<u>Given </u>

mass m= 0.32kg

intital velocity, u= 14m/s

final velocity v= 22m/s

time= 0.06s

Step two:

<u>Required</u>

Force F

the expression for the force is

F=mΔv/t

F=0.32*(22-14)/0.06

F=(0.32*8)/0.06

F=2.56/0.06

F=42.67N

The average force exerted on the bat 42.67N

How was Bohr's atomic model different from those of previous scientists?

exis [7]

Answer:Bohr placed the electrons in distinct energy levels. Rutherford described the atom as consisting of a tiny positive mass surrounded by a cloud of negative electrons. Bohr thought that electrons orbited the nucleus in quantised orbits.
