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 object is located 50.0 cm from a concave mirror. The magnitude of the mirror focal length is 25.0 cm. What is the image dista
ioda

Answer:

Correct answer: C. 50 cm

Explanation:

Given data:

The distance of the object from the top of the concave mirror o = 50.0 cm

The magnitude of the concave mirror focal length 25.0 cm.

Required : Image distance d = ?

If we know the focal length we can calculate the center of the curve of the mirror

r = 2 · f = 2 · 25 = 50 cm

If we know the theory of spherical mirrors and the construction of figures then we know that when an object is placed in the center of the curve, there is also a image in the center of the curve that is inverted, real and the same size as the object.

We conclude that the image distance is 50 cm.

We will now prove this using the formula:

1/f = 1/o + 1/d => 1/d = 1/f - 1/o = 1/25 - 1/50 = 2/50 - 1/50 = 1/50

1/d = 1/50 => d = 50 cm

Two particles collide, one of which was initially moving and the other initially at rest. Is it possible for both particles to b
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Not possible

Explanation:

Unless there's some extra external force to keep both particles at rest after the collision, the momentum must be conserved before and after the collision.

So before the collision, 1 particle is at rest, 1 not ->  total momentum is non-zero

After the collision, both particles are at rest -> total momentum is zero which is different from before.

Therefore this is not possible.

A 5.3 kg cat and a 2.5 kg bowl of tuna fish are at opposite ends of the 4.0-m-long seesaw. how far to the left of the pivot must
nika2105 [10]
Moment about the pivot must be equal for the seesaw to balance. Initially, the first cat and the bowl are at 2 m from the pivot.

The moment due to cat = 5.3*2 = 10.6 kg.m
The moment due to bowl = 2.5*2 = 5 kg.m
The unbalanced moment = 10.6 - 5 = 5.6 kg.m

Therefore, the 3.7 kg cat should stand at a distance x from the pivot in left to balance the 5.6 kg.m.
That is,
3.7*x = 5.6 => x = 5.6/3.7 = 1.5134 m to the left (on the side of the bowl)
