Answer:

C. A Tsunami

Explanation:

When there are earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or some underwater disturbances, a hue amount of water is displaced in the form of huge waves in a sea. This is known as tsunami.

In 2004 a major tsunami was caused by an undersea earthquake, in Indian Ocean, resulting in waves as high as 30 meters and affected 15 countries. Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and India were the worst affected countries.

A car is traveling at 120 km/h (75 mph). When applied the braking system can stop the car with a deceleration rate of 9.0 m/s2.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car V = 120 km/h = 33.3333 m/s

Reaction time of an alert driver = 0.8 sec

Reaction time of an alert driver = 3 sec

extra time taken by sleepy driver over an alert driver = 3 - 0.8 = 2.2 sec

now, extra distance that car will travel in case of sleepy driver will be'

S_d = V × 2.2 sec

S_d = 33.3333 m/s × 2.2 sec

S_d = 73.3333 m

hence, number of car of additional car length n will be;

n = S_n / car length

n = 73.3333 m / 5m

n = 14.666 ≈ 15

Therefore, the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15

Calculate the wavelength λ1 for gamma rays of frequency f1 = 7.20×1021 hz .

bagirrra123 [75]

The relationship between wavelength $\lambda$ , frequency f and speed of light c for an electromagnetic wave is
$\lambda= \frac{c}{f}$
Using the data of the problem, we find
$\lambda= \frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s }{7.20 \cdot 10^{21} Hz}=4.17 \cdot 10^{-14} m$

If my weight on Earth is 140lbs, what is my mass?

SashulF [63]

Answer:

63.57 kg

Explanation:

weight = 140 lbs

Let the mass is m.

1 lbs = 4.45 N

The weight of an object is defined as the force with which our earth attracts the body towards its centre.

Weight is the product of mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity of that planet.

W = m x g

On earth surface g = 9.8 m/s^2

Now convert lbs in newton

So, 140 lbs = 140 x 4.45 = 623 N

So, m x 9.8 = 623

m = 63.57 kg

Thus, the mass is 63.57 kg.

A particle has a charge of -4.25 nC.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

-611.32 N/C

0.43723 m

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

q = Charge = -4.25 nC

r = Distance from particle = 0.25 m

Electric field is given by

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times -4.25\times 10^{-9}}{0.25^2}\\\Rightarrow E=-611.32\ N/C$

The magnitude is 611.32 N/C

The electric field will point straight down as the sign is negative towards the particle.

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\dfrac{kq}{E}}\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 4.25\times 10^{-9}}{13}}\\\Rightarrow r=1.71436\ m$

The distance from the electric field is 1.71436 m
