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

Why do antoms move at different speeds depending pn weather they are in liqids or solids?
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Liquid matter has atoms that move moderately freely; this is shown that whenever you pour water into a cup, it fills the shape.
Solids on the other hand, have atoms that basically don't move; thus is because the item is purely compact, and, for contrast, putting a rock in a cup wouldn't fill the shape of the cup, it would just lie there as it's original form.

Hope this helps!

A car accelerates from rest (v. 0 m/s) with a constant acceleration of
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Heya!!

For calculate final velocity, lets applicate formula

                                                \boxed{V=V_o+a*t}

                                                 <u>Δ   Being   Δ</u>

                                            V = Final Velocity = ?

                                         Vo = Initial velocity = 0 m/s

                                          a = Aceleration = 5 m/s²

                                                 t = Time = 12 s

⇒ Let's replace according the formula:

\boxed{V=0\ m/s +5\ m/s*12\ s}

⇒ Resolving

\boxed{V=60\ m/s}

Result:

The velocity after 10 sec is <u>60 meters per second (m/s)</u>

Good Luck!!

5. Describe the shape of the waveform in the secondary coil for a sine, square and triangle wave in the primary coil. How does t
Volgvan

Answer:

When primary coil is exited by sin wave,this will result in sin wave in secondary coil as well.According to law,flux induced in the secondary coil will have same waveform as in the primary coil.
