7 0

Answer:

A tsunami with a record run-up height of 1720 feet occurred in Lituya Bay, Alaska. On the night of July 9, 1958, an earthquake along the Fairweather Fault in the Alaska Panhandle loosened about 40 million cubic yards (30.6 million cubic meters) of rock high above the northeastern shore of Lituya Bay.

Answer: 39.2 m/s

Explanation:

You can use the kinematic equation:

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2a*d$

We know the final velocity because it says it came to a stop. So now all we gotta do is plug in.

$0^2=v_i^2+2(-10)(76.7)\\v_i^2=1,534\\v_i=\sqrt{1534} \\=39.166 m/s$

Differenciate between fundamentals quantities and derived quantities

REY [17]

Answer:

Fundamental quantities are the base quantities of a unit system, and they are defined independent of the other...

• Derived quantities are based on fundamental quantities, and they can be given in terms of fundamental quantities.

• In SI units, derived units are often given names of people such as Newton and Joule.

Intersystem crossing is:

Semenov [28]

An intersystem crossing (ISC) is a non-radiative process that involves the transition between two electronic states with different spin multiplicity. That is, when an electron is excited in a molecule in a basal singlet state (either by absorption or radiation) into a state of greater energy, an excited singlet or triplet state can be obtained.

Therefore, ISC is understood as an a non radio active transition between states with different spin multiplicity.

Correct answer is C: a radiative transition between states with the same spin.

Dylan has two cubes of iron. The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube. He measures the smaller cube. Its mass is 2

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The volume of the larger cube is 5.08 g/cm³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of smaller cube = 20 g

Density of smaller cube $\rho= 7.87 g/cm^2$

Dylan has two cubes of iron.

The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube.

$M_{l}=2m_{s}$

Density is same for both cubes because both cubes are same material.

The density is equal to the mass divided by the volume.

$\rho=\dfrac{m}{V}$

$V=\dfrac{m}{\rho}$

Where, V = volume

m = mass

$\rho=density$

We need to calculate the volume of smaller mass

The volume of smaller mass

$V_{s}=\dfrac{m_{s}}{\rho_{s}}$

$V_{s}=\dfrac{20}{7.87}$

$V_{s}=2.54\ cm^3$

Now, We need to calculate the volume of large cube

$V_{l}=\dfrac{m_{l}}{\rho_{l}}$

$V_{l}=\dfrac{2\times20}{7.87}$

$V_{l}=5.08\ g/cm^3$

Hence, The volume of the larger cube is 5.08 g/cm³.

When 10 N force applied at 30 degrees to the end of a 20 cm handle of a wrench, it was just able to loosen the nut. What magnitu

fredd [130]

Answer:

Explanation:

To get the magnitude of the force would require to just loosen the nut, if the force apply perpendicularly at the end of the handle, we will have to resolve the force perpendicular to the wrench. Torque is the turning effect of a body or force about a point. It is similar to moments.

Torque = Force * radius

Note that the force must be perpendicular to the wrench. On resolving the force perpendicularly to the wrench, we will have to resolve the force to the vertical.

Fy = Fsinθ

Fy = 10sin30°

Fy = 10 * 0.5

Fy = 5N

Torque = Fy * r

Given Fy = 5N and r = 20cm = 0.2m

Torque = 5 * 0.2

Torque = 1Nm

Hence the magnitude of the force would require to just loosen the nut, if the force apply perpendicularly at the end of the handle is 5N
