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 two-slit Fraunhofer interference-diffraction pattern is observed with light of wavelength 672 nm. The slits have widths of 0.0
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of diffraction , angular width of central maxima =2 λ/d

λ is wave length of light and d is slit width

In case of interference , angular width of each fringe

= λ /D

D is distance between two slits

No of interference fringe in central diffraction fringe

=2 λ/d x D/λ = 2 x D /d = 2 x .24/.03 = 16.

A brick is resting on a smooth wooden board that is at a 30° angle. What is one way to overcome the static friction that is hold
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

to overcome the out of friction we must increase the angle of the plane

Explanation:

To answer this exercise, let's propose the solution of the problem, write Newton's second law. We define a coordinate system where the x axis is parallel to the plane and the other axis is perpendicular to the plane.

X axis

       fr - Wₓ = m    a                      (1)

Y axis  

       N- W_{y} = 0

       N = W_{y}

let's use trigonometry to find the components of the weight

        sin θ = Wₓ / W

        cos θ = W_{y} / W

        Wₓ = W sin θ

        W_{y} = W cos θ

the friction force has the formula

         fr = μ N

         fr = μ Wy

         fr = μ mg cos θ

from equation 1

at the point where the force equals the maximum friction force

in this case the block is still still so a = 0

           F = fr

           F = (μ  mg) cos θ

We can see that the quantities in parentheses with constants, so as the angle increases, the applied force must be less.

This is the force that balances the friction force, any force slightly greater than F initiates the movement.

Consequently, to overcome the out of friction we must increase the angle of the plane

the correct answer is to increase the angle of the plane

2.0 mol of monatomic gas A initially has 5000 J of thermal energy. It interacts with 3.0 mol of monatomic gas B, which initially
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

 E_particle = 1,129 10⁻²⁰ J / particle

  T= 817.5 K

Explanation:

Energy is a scalar quantity so it is additive, let's look for the total energy of each gas

Gas a

         E_a = 2 5000 = 10000 J

Gas b

         E_b = 3 8000 = 24000 J

When the total system energy is mixed it is

          E_total = E_a + E_b

          E_total = 10000 + 24000 = 34000

The total mass is

           M = m_a + m_b

           M = 2 +3 = 5

The average energy among the entire mass is

           E_averge = E_total / M

            E_averago = 34000/5

            E_average = 6800 J

One mole of matter has Avogadro's number of atoms 6,022 10²³ particles

Therefore, each particle has an energy of

                E_particle = E_averag / 6.022 10²³ = 6800 /6.022 10²³

                E_particle = 1,129 10⁻²⁰ J / particle

For  find the temperature let's use equation

               E = kT

               T = E / k

     

               T = 1,129 10⁻²⁰ / 1,381 10⁻²³

               T = 8.175 102 K

               T= 817.5 K

A normal human heart, beating about once per second, creates a maximum 4.00 mV potential across 0.400 m of a person's chest, pro
kvasek [131]

Answer:

The maximum electric field strength = 0.01 V/m

Explanation:

Given

ΔV(max) = 4.00 mV = 0.004 V

d = 0.400 m

f = 1.00 Hz

Maximum electric field = (maximum potential)/(length)

Maximum electric field = E(max)

Maximum potential = 4.00 mV = 0.004 V

Length = 0.400 m

E(max) = (0.004/0.4) = 0.01 V/m

Hope this Helps!!!
