Answer:

a) 433.96 miles/hr

   193.98 m/s

b) 3899.3 Hz

c) 2.56 x 10^-4 s^{-1}

   0.015 m^{-1}

Explanation:

wavelength of the tsunami = 470 miles

Distance traveled = 2300 miles

time taken to travel this distance = 5.3 h

a) wave's speed = distance/time

==> 2300/5.3 = 433.96 miles/hr

1 miles/hr = 0.447 m/s

433.96 miles/hr = 433.96 x 0.447 = 193.98 m/s

b) frequency of a wave f = speed/wavelength

for wavelength, 470 miles = 470 x 1609.34 = 756389.8 m

frequency = 756389.8/193.98 = 3899.3 Hz

c) Period T = 1/frequency

T = 1/3899.3 = 2.56 x 10^-4 s^{-1}

60 sec = 1 min

Period T in sec = 2.56 x 10^-4 x 60 = 0.015 m^{-1}

engineers are using computer models to study train collisions design safer train cars. They start by modeling an elastic collisi
Archy [21]

Answer:

The final velocity of the second car is 57 m/s south.

Explanation:

This is an elastic collision between two train cars. In this case, the total kinetic energy between the two bodies will remain the same.

The formula to apply is :

m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f

where ;

m_1=mass of object 1\\v_1i=initial  velocity object1\\m_2=mass of object2\\v_2i=initial velocity object 2\\v_1f=final velocity object 1\\v_2f=final velocity object 2

Given in the question that;

m_1=14650kg\\v_1i=18m/s\\m_2=3825kg\\v_2i=11m/s\\v_1f=6m/s\\v_2f=?

Apply the formula as;

m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f

{14650*18}+{3825*11} = {14650 *6} + {3825 * v₂f}

263700+42075=87900 + 3825v₂f

305775 =87900 + 3825v₂f

305775-87900 = 3825v₂f

217875=3825v₂f

217875/3825 =v₂f

56.96 = v₂f

<u>57 m/s = v₂f { nearest whole number}</u>

If the volume on your TV is low, turning the volume up one click of the remote control will make the TV seem louder than if the
marusya05 [52]

From what we know, we can confirm that this ratio (turning up the volume by one click relative to the TV's overall volume) can be quantified as the Weber fraction.

<h3>What is the Weber fraction?</h3>

This fraction describes the ratio needed for change to a stimulus in which the change is just barely noticeable. This question is a prime example in that it seeks to find out just how low of a difference is needed in TV volume in order for the difference to be noticeable.

Therefore, we can confirm that this ratio (turning up the volume by one click relative to the TV's overall volume) can be quantified as the Weber fraction.

The Dark Matter Halo of our galaxy is The Dark Matter Halo of our galaxy is a halo component curiously absent in most others gal
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

you mean this halo right

Explanation:

Halo is an American military science fiction media franchise managed and developed by 343 Industries and published by Xbox Game Studios. The franchise and its early main installments were originally developed by Bungie. The central focus of the franchise builds off the experiences of Master Chief John-117, one of a group of supersoldiers codenamed Spartans, and his artificial intelligence (AI) companion, Cortana.

The original trilogy centers on an interstellar war between humanity and an alliance of aliens known as the Covenant. The Covenant, led by their religious leaders called the Prophets, worship an ancient civilization known as the Forerunners, who perished while defeating the parasitic Flood. The eponymous Halo Array are a group of immense, habitable, ring-shaped superweapons that were created by the Forerunners to destroy the Flood, but which the Covenant mistake for religious artifacts that, if activated, would transport them on a Great Journey to meet the Forerunners. They are similar to the Orbitals in Iain M. Banks' Culture novels, and to a lesser degree to author Larry Niven's Ringworld concept.[1][2][3][4]

The games in the series are critically acclaimed, with the original considered the Xbox's "killer app".[5] This led to the term "Halo killer" being used to describe console games that aspire, or are considered, to be better than Halo.[6] Fueled by the success of Halo: Combat Evolved, and by marketing campaigns from publisher Microsoft, its sequels went on to record-breaking sales.[7][8][9] The games have sold over 65 million copies worldwide, with the games alone grossing almost $3.4 billion.[10][11][12] Halo has since become one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. These strong sales led to the franchise's expansion to other media; the Halo Universe now spans multiple best-selling novels, graphic novels, comic books, short movies, animated movies and feature films, as well as other licensed products.
