<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>

daser333 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Aδ fibers carry cold, pressure, and acute pain signals, and because they are thin (2 to 5 μm in diameter) and myelinated, they send impulses faster than unmyelinated C fibers, but more slowly than other, more thickly myelinated group A nerve fibers. Their conduction velocities are moderate.

Para el siguiente conjunto de medidas, calcule EL ERROR RELATIVO PORCENTUAL: 1.34 m, 1.35 m, 1.37 m y 1.36 m

Answer:

Ver explicacion abajo

Explanation:

En este caso para poder calcular el error relativo porcentual, es necesario calcular primero el error absoluto, que se calcula de la siguiente forma:

Error absoluto = Resultado exacto - aproximación

Sin embargo, no tenemos el resultado exacto de las medidas, pero podriamos conocerlo tomando el promedio de estas medidas y este es el que tomaremos como el verdadero resultado de las medidas:

Promedio de medidas = 1.34 + 1.35 + 1.37 + 1.36 / 4

Promedio de medidas = 1.355 m

Ya que tenemos el promedio, podemos calcular el error absoluto de cada medida y luego el error relativo porcentual:

Ea1 = 1.355 - 1.34 = 0.015

Ea2 = 1.355 - 1.35 = 0.005

Ea3 = 1.37 - 1.355 = 0.015

Ea4 = 1.36 - 1.355 = 0.005

Ya que tenemos los 4 errores absolutos, es posible calcular el porcentual:

%error relativo = (Error absoluto / resultado exacto) * 100

Aplicando la expresión con cada uno de los valores tenemos:

%Er1 = (0.015/1.34) * 100 = 1.12%

%Er2 = (0.005/1.35) * 100 = 0.37%

%Er3 = (0.015/1.37) * 100 = 1.09%

%Er4 = (0.005/1.36) * 100 = 0.37%

Espero que te sirva.

A gang of robbers is escaping across city roofs at night. They come to the edge of one building and need to drop down to their g

REY [17]

Answer:

a) They will hit the ground with a speed of 19.6 m/s.

b) They are at a height of 20 m.

c) It is not a safe jump.

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The equations of height and velocity in function of time of a free falling body are the following:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

h = height of the object at time t.

h0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering downward as negative direction).

v = velocity of the object at time t.

Using the equation of velocity, let's find the velocity at which they will hit the ground. The pebble is dropped (initial velocity = 0) and it takes 2 s to reach the ground:

v = v0 + g · t (v0 = 0)

v = g · t

v = -9.8 m/s² · 2.0 s

v = -19.6 m/s

They will hit the ground with a speed of 19.6 m/s.

b)Now, we have to use the equation of height:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

If we place the origin of the frame of reference on the ground, we have to find the initial height (h0) knowing that at t = 2.0 s, h = 0 m

0 m = h0 - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (2.0 s)²

h0 = 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (2.0 s)²

h0 = 20 m

They are at a height of 20 m.

c)According to a NASA paper (Issues on Human Acceleration Tolerance After Long-Duration Space Flights, figure 10), if you fall with a vertical velocity greater than 17 m/s it is unlikely that you will survive. So, it is not a safe jump.
