<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.

Physics

Explanation:

Explanation:

We can use the Theorem of Work (W) and Kinetic Energy (K):

W=ΔK=Kf−Ki

it basically tells us that the work done on our system will show up as change in Kinetic Energy:

We know that the initial Kinetic Energy, Ki=12mv2i, is zero (starting from rest) while the final will be equal to 352J; Work will be force time displacement. so we get:

F⋅d=Ff

45d=352

and so:

d=35245=7.8≈8m

Answer:

You are asked to design a cylindrical steel rod 50.0 cm long, with a circular cross section, that will conduct 170.0 J/s from a furnace at 350.0 ∘C to a container of boiling water under 1 atmosphere.

Explanation:

Given Values:

L = 50 cm = 0.5 m

H = 170 j/s

To find the diameter of the rod, we have to find the area of the rod using the following formula.

Here Tc = 100.0° C

k = 50.2

H = k × A × $\frac{[T_{H -}T_{C} ] }{L}$
