Answer: Tsunami.

Explanation :

Tsunami is the result of a sudden vertical offset in the ocean floor and is most often the result of plate movement on the ocean floor.

Tsunami is caused due to the displacement of a large volume of water like in an ocean. It consists of a series of waves. It destroys coastlines and coastal settlements. It is also known as a tidal wave.

So, the correct option is (b) Tsunami.

A 45.0 g hard-boiled egg moves on the end of a spring with force constant 25.0 N/m. Its initial displacement 0.500 m. A damping
leva [86]

Answer:

0.02896 kg/s

Explanation:

A_1 = Initial displacement = 0.5 m

A21 = Final displacement = 0.1 m

t = Time taken = 0.5 s

m = Mass of object = 45 g

Displacement is given by

x=Ae^{-\dfrac{b}{2m}t}cos(\omega t+\phi)

At maximum displacement

cos(\omega t+\phi)=1

\\\Rightarrow A_2=A_1e^{-\dfrac{b}{2m}t}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=e^{\dfrac{b}{2m}t}\\\Rightarrow ln\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{b}{2m}t\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{2m}{t}\times ln\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{2\times 0.045}{5}\times ln\dfrac{0.5}{0.1}\\\Rightarrow b=0.02896\ kg/s

The magnitude of the damping coefficient is 0.02896 kg/s

Imagine that an electron in an excited state in a nitrogen molecule decays to its ground state, emitting a photon with a frequen
mash [69]
Since energy cannot be created nor destroyed, the change in energy of the electron must be equal to the energy of the emitted photon.

The energy of the emitted photon is given by:
E=hf
where
h is the Planck constant
f is the photon frequency
Substituting f=8.88 \cdot 10^{14}Hz, we find
E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js)(8.88 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=5.86 \cdot 10^{-19} J

This is the energy given to the emitted photon; it means this is also equal to the energy lost by the electron in the transition, so the variation of energy of the electron will have a negative sign (because the electron is losing energy by decaying from an excited state, with higher energy, to the ground state, with lower energy)
\Delta E= -5.86 \cdot 10^{-19} J

How will the gravitational force on a piece of the surface of the star (m1) by the mass of the rest of the star (m2) (effectivel
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a force that attracts two bodies (with a mass) towards each other. If an object has a higher mass, the gravitational pull will be greater.

According to Newton’s inverse square law:

<em>"The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two bodies."</em>

About this question, the greater the distance between two gravitating bodies, the weaker is the gravitational force between them.
