Tsunamis are fast-moving waves often generated by underwater earthquakes. In the deep ocean their amplitude is barely noticable,

but upon reaching shore, they can rise up to the astonishing height of a six-story building. One tsunami, generated off the Aleutian islands in Alaska, had a wavelength of 646 km and traveled a distance of 3410 km in 4.84 h. (a) What was the speed (in m/s) of the wave? For reference, the speed of a 747 jetliner is about 250 m/s. Find the wave's (b) frequency and (c) period.

Answer:

a) V = 195.70 m/s

b) f=3.02 × 10⁻⁴ Hz

c) T = 3311.25 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength, λ = 646 Km = 646000 m

Distance traveled = 3410 Km = 3410000 m

Time = 4.84 h = 4.84 × 3600 s = 17424 seconds

a) The speed (V) of the wave is given as

V = distance / time

V = 3410000 m/ 17424 seconds

or

V = 195.70 m/s

b) The frequency (f) of the wave is given as:

f = V / λ

f= 195.70 / 646000

f=3.02 × 10⁻⁴ Hz

c) The time period (T)  is given as:

T = 1/ f

T = 1/ (3.02 × 10⁻⁴) Hz

T = 3311.25 seconds

An Amtrak going 250m/s comes to a stop in 12s. What is the<br> acceleration?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}  \\a = \frac{0-250}{12} = -20.83 m/s

Explanation:

you mean deceleration right ? because the acceleration is 250m/s

Why is the same side of the Moon always visible from Earth?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer

The true fact is that C is what happens in outer space.  Both rotations take 27.3 days.  

A: The exact opposite is true. It does rotate about it's axis.

B: Again this is just plain false. Given the way we observe it, the moon must be rotating around the earth.

D. they don't. 27.3 hours and 24 hours are not the same.

You can increase the vapor pressure of a liquid by:
irga5000 [103]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by vapors or gas on the surface of a liquid.

When we increase the temperature of a liquid substance then there will occur an increase kinetic energy of the molecules. As a result, they will move readily from one place to another.

Hence, liquid state of a substance will change into vapor state of the substance. This means that an increase in temperature will lead to an increase in vapor pressure of the substance.

Thus, we can conclude that you can increase the vapor pressure of a liquid by increasing temperature.
