A tsunami is a series of waves generated in an ocean or other body of water by a disturbance such as an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite impact. ... Undersea earthquakes, which typically occur at boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates, cause the water above to be moved up or down

<u>Answers:</u>


1. A tsunami, also known as a <u>seaquake</u> is a seism whose epicenter is located at the depths of the sea or ocean (or any a mass of water) producing the agitation of the waters and forming large waves.

2. How is it formed?

After the seism at the depth of the mass of water begins, and if the seism has a <u>vertical component</u>, the movement causes a displacement of the sea bottom and, consequently, it causes the formation giant waves as the water is displaced because of gravity, trying to return to a stable position.

Now, when the tsunami approaches the coast its <u>speed decreases</u>, because <u>the depth decreases</u>, in other words, the water accumulates when braking, <u>increasing the height of the wave</u>.


And, according to the <u>conservation of energy</u> principle, if the speed of the wave decreases, its height increases.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Briefly describe the three phases of self-regulation.<br> _PSYCHOLOGY_
Zinaida [17]

Phase 1. Forethought/preaction—This phase precedes the actual performance; sets the stage for action; maps out the tasks to minimize the unknown; and helps to develop a positive mindset. Realistic expectations can make the task more appealing. Goals must be set as specific outcomes, arranged in order from short-term to long-term. We have to ask students to consider the following:

<span>When will they start?Where will they do the work?How will they get started?<span>What conditions will help or hinder their learning activities are a part of this phase?
</span></span>

Phase 2. Performance control—This phase involves processes during learning and the active attempt to utilize specific strategies to help a student become more successful.

We have to ask students to consider the following:

<span>Are students accomplishing what they hoped to do?Are they being distracted?Is this taking more time than they thought?Under what conditions do they accomplish the most?What questions can they ask themselves while they are working?<span>How can they encourage themselves to keep working (including self-talk—come on, get your work done so you can watch that television show or read your magazine!)
</span></span>

Phase 3. Self-reflection—This phase involves reflection after the performance, a self-evaluation of outcomes compared to goals.

We have to ask students to consider the following:

<span>Did they accomplish what they planned to do?Were they distracted and how did they get back to work?Did they plan enough time or did they need more time than they thought?<span>Under what conditions did they accomplish the most work. 
Hope this helps!!!!!

PLEASE HELP!! ITS URGENT!!!​
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

F = 800 [N]

Explanation:

To be able to calculate this problem we must use the principle of momentum before and after the impact of the hammer.

We must summarize that after the impact the hammer does not move, therefore its speed is zero. In this way, we can propose the following equation.

ΣPbefore = ΣPafter

(m_{1}*v_{1}) - F*t = (m_{1}*v_{2})

where:

m₁ = mass of the hammer = 0.15 [m/s]

v₁ = velocity of the hammer = 8 [m/s]

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

t = time = 0.0015 [s]

v₂ = velocity of the hammer after the impact = 0

(0.15*8)-(F*0.0015) = (0.15*0)\\F*0.0015 = 0.15*8\\F = 1.2/(0.0015)\\F = 800 [N]

Note: The force is taken as negative since it is exerted by the nail on the hammer and this force is directed in the opposite direction to the movement of the hammer.

a train leaves a station heading east at 50 mph from that same station a car drives north at a speed of 30mph after 3 hours how
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

d = 175 miles

Explanation:

Train is moving towards East with constant speed of 50 mph

While car is moving at speed of 30 mph

so after t = 3 hours

the distance moved by the train is given as

d_1 = vt

d_1 = (50)(3) = 150 miles

at the same time the distance moved by the car is given as

d_2 = 30(3) = 90 miles

now we know that both car and train is moving perpendicular to each other

So the distance between them after t = 3 hours is given as

d= \sqrt{d_1^2 + d_2^2}

d = \sqrt{150^2 + 90^2}

d = 175 miles
