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

A contact force exists between two interacting objects that physically contact each other. a non-contact force exists when two i
Murrr4er [49]
True.

A contact force is a force between two objects that are physically in contact with each other: an example of a contact force is the normal reaction of a table supporting a book.

A non-contact force is a force between two objects that are not physically in contact with each other: an example of non-contact force is the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Moon.

Explain why astronomers use the term "blueshifted" for objects moving toward us and "redshifted" for objects moving away from us
ValentinkaMS [17]
<span>Two of them are "redshift" and "blueshift", which are used to describe an object'smotion toward or away from us in space. Redshift indicates that an object is moving away from us. "Blueshift" is a term that astronomers use to describe an object that is moving toward another object or toward us.</span>
