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.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

955.36 seconds ≈ 16 minutes

Explanation:

Power(P) is the rate of doing work(W)

That is, P = W/t, where t is the time.

multipying both sides with 't' and dividing with 'P', we get: t=W/P

Here, W = 5.35 x 10^10 J and P = 5.6 x 10^7 W ( 1 W = 1 J/s).

Therefore , on dividing W with P, we get 955.36 seconds.

A 150 kg line backer sacks the 120 kg quarterback. With what force is the quarterback sacked if the line backer has an accelerat

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The force required to move the quarterback with linebacker is 1215 N

Explanation:

$\text { Mass of linebacker } \mathrm{m}_{2}=150 \mathrm{kg}$

$\text { Mass of quarterback } \mathrm{m}_{2}=120 \mathrm{kg}$

$\text { Moved at an acceleration }(a)=4.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Using Newton's second law, it is established that F = Ma

Where F is net force acting on the system, a is the acceleration and M is mass of the two object $\left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right)$

Now consider both $\mathrm{m}_{1} \text { and } \mathrm{m}_{2}$ as a system, so net force acting on the system is $\text { Force }=\left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right) a$

Substitute the given values in the above formula,

$\text { Force }=(150+120) \mathrm{kg} \times 4.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$\text { Force }=270 \mathrm{kg} \times 4.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Force = 1215 N

1215 N is the force required to move the quarterback with linebacker.

How are weather satellites and weather stations similar?

alexandr402 [8]

Weather satellites and weather stations are similar, because they both have the same purpose. They are used to help predict future weather as well as as current conditions. The satellites are viewing the weather from a distance at a large scope, but stations are using data they collect on earth to help with the same task.

A car tire rotates with an average angular speed of 32 rad/s. In what time interval will the tire rotate 3.5 times? Answer in un

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

$\Delta t = 0.687\ s$

Explanation:

given,

Angular speed of the tire = 32 rad/s

Displacement of the wheel = 3.5 rev

Δ θ = 3.5 x 2 π

= 7 π rad

now,

Time interval of the car to rotate 7π rad

using equation

$\omega_{avg} =\dfrac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}$

$\Delta t=\dfrac{7\pi}{32}$

$\Delta t = 0.687\ s$

Time taken to rotate 3.5 times is equal to 0.687 s.

Suppose you are planning a trip in which a spacecraft is to travel at a constant velocity for exactly six months, as measured by

bixtya [17]

Answer:

v = 0.99 c = 2.99 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

From the special theory of relativity:

$t = \frac{t_o}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }\\$

where,

v = speed of travel = ?

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

t = time measured on earth = 90 years

t₀ = time measured in moving frame = 6 months = 0.5 year

Therefore,

$90\ yr = \frac{0.5\ yr}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } } \\\\\\\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}} = \frac{0.5\ yr}{90\ yr}\\ 1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} = 0.00003086\\\frac{v^2}{c^2} = 1-0.00003086\\$

v = 0.99 c = 2.99 x 10⁸ m/s
