The height of a tsunami grows as it approaches a coastline primarily because

<span>a tsunami travels at a speed that is related to the water depth - hence, as the water depth decreases, the tsunami slows. The tsunami's energy flux, which is dependent on both its wave speed and wave height, remains nearly constant. Consequently, as the tsunami's speed diminishes as it travels into shallower water, its height grows.</span>

How do spectroscopes help with studying of distance stars?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

You take the light from a star, planet or galaxy and pass it through a spectroscope, which is a bit like a prism letting you split the light into its component colours. "It lets you see the chemicals being absorbed or emitted by the light source. From this you can work out all sorts of things," says Watson

An ideal gas, initially at a pressure of 11.2 atm and a temperature of 299 K, is allowed to expand adiabatically until its volum

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The pressure is $P_2 = 4.25 \ a.t.m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial pressure is $P_1 = 11.2\ a.t.m$

The temperature is $T_1 = 299 \ K$

Let the first volume be $V_1$ Then the final volume will be $2 V_1$

Generally for a diatomic gas

$P_1 V_1 ^r = P_2 V_2 ^r$

Here r is the radius of the molecules which is mathematically represented as

$r = \frac{C_p}{C_v}$

Where $C_p \ and\ C_v$ are the molar specific heat of a gas at constant pressure and the molar specific heat of a gas at constant volume with values

$C_p=7 \ and\ C_v=5$

=> $r = \frac{7}{5}$

=> $11.2*( V_1 ^{\frac{7}{5} } ) = P_2 * (2 V_1 ^{\frac{7}{5} } )$

=> $P_2 = [\frac{1}{2} ]^{\frac{7}{5} } * 11.2$

=> $P_2 = 4.25 \ a.t.m$

What happens to the frequency of a wave of you increase the speed of the wave ?

exis [7]

Nothing happens. The frequency is determined at the source,
and it doesn't change along the way.

A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axi

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

h = 2.64 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of one ball, $m_1=3\ kg$

Speed of the first ball, $v_1=20\ m/s$ (upward)

Mass of the other ball, $m_2=2\ kg$

Speed of the other ball, $v_2=-12\ m/s$ (downward)

We know that in an inelastic collision, after the collision, both objects move with one common speed. Let it is given by V. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as :

$V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}$
