<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:

The magnitude of the force is 34.59 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Inside pressure $P_{in}= 1.90\times10^{5}\ Pa$

Area $A=3.90\times10^{-4}\ m^2$

Outside pressure = 1 atm

We need to calculate the magnitude of the force

Using formula of force

$F_{net}=F_{in}-F_{out}$

$F_{net}=(P_{in}-P_{out})A$

Where, $P_{in}$ =inside Pressure

$P_{out}$ =outside Pressure

A = area

Put the value into the formula

$F_{net}=(1.90\times10^{5}-1.013\times10^{5})3.90\times10^{-4}$

$F_{net}=34.59\ N$

Hence, The magnitude of the force is 34.59 N.

A bus leaves at 9 am with a group of tourists. They travel 350 km before they stop for lunch. Then they travel an additional 250

Anettt [7]

Average speed = Distance traveled / time taken

In this case Time taken = Difference in hours between 3 PM and 9 AM

= 6 hours

Total distance traveled = 350 km + 250 km

= 600 kilometers

So average speed = 600/6 = 100 km/hr

Average speed of bus = 27.78 m/s

So the bus's average speed = 27.78 m/s or 100 km/hr.
