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 marble resting near the edge of .90 m high table is given an initial horizontal speed of 1.24 m/s. What will be it’s horizonta
Maru [420]

Answer:

0.53 m

Explanation:

First of all, we have to consider the vertical motion of the ball, in order to find the time it takes for the marble to reach the ground. The initial height is h=0.90 m, the initial vertical velocity is zero, while the acceleration is g=-9.81 m/s^2, so the vertical position at time t is given by

y(t)=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

By demanding y(t)=0, we find the time t at which the ball reaches the ground:

0=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.9 m)}{9.81 m/s^2}}=0.43 s

Now we can find the horizontal range of the marble: we know the initial horizontal speed (v=1.24 m/s), we know the total time of the motion (t=0.43 s), and since the horizontal speed is constant, the total distance traveled on the horizontal direction is

x=vt=(1.24 m/s)(0.43 s)=0.53 m

A billiards ball B rests on a horizontal surface and is struck by another billiards ball A of the same mass m = 0.2 kg. Ball A i
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

v1 = 15.90 m/s

v2 = 8.46 m/s

mechanical energy before collision = 32.4 J

mechanical energy after collision = 32.433 J

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 0.2 kg

speed = 18 m/s

angle =  28°

to find out

final velocity and  mechanical energy both before and after the collision

solution

we know that conservation of momentum remain same so in x direction

mv = mv1 cosθ + mv2cosθ

put here value

0.2(18) = 0.2 v1 cos(28) + 0.2 v2 cos(90-28)

3.6 =  0.1765 V1 + 0.09389 v2    ................1

and

in y axis

mv = mv1 sinθ - mv2sinθ

0 = 0.2 v1 sin28 - 0.2 v2 sin(90-28)

0 = 0.09389 v1 - 0.1768 v2   .......................2

from equation 1 and 2

v1 = 15.90 m/s

v2 = 8.46 m/s

so

mechanical energy  before collision = 1/2 mv1² + 1/2 mv2²

mechanical energy before collision = 1/2 (0.2)(18)² + 0

mechanical energy before collision = 32.4 J

and

mechanical energy after collision = 1/2 (0.2)(15.90)² + 1/2 (0.2)(8.46)²

mechanical energy after collision = 32.433 J
