Facts about Tsunami?

1 answer:

Zepler [3.9K]3 years ago

4 0

1.A tsunami is a series of ocean waves caused by an underwater earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption. More rarely, a tsunami can be generated by a giant meteor impact with the ocean. These waves can reach heights of over 100 ft.
2.About 80% of tsunamis happen within the Pacific Ocean’s “Ring of Fire.”
3.The first wave of a tsunami is usually not the strongest, successive waves get bigger and stronger.
4.Tsunamis can travel at speeds of about 500 miles or 805 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as a jet plane.
5.The states in the U.S. at greatest risk for tsunamis are Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California.
Hope it help!

How do I go about this?

Anna71 [15]

Hi there!

(a)

Recall that:
$W = F \cdot d = Fdcos\theta$

W = Work (J)
F = Force (N)
d = Displacement (m)

Since this is a dot product, we only use the component of force that is IN the direction of the displacement. We can use the horizontal component of the given force to solve for the work.

$W =248(56)cos(30) = 12027.36 J$

To the nearest multiple of ten:
$W_A = \boxed{12030 J}$

(b)
The object is not being displaced vertically. Since the displacement (horizontal) is perpendicular to the force of gravity (vertical), cos(90°) = 0, and there is NO work done by gravity.

Thus:
$\boxed{W_g = 0 J}$

(c)
Similarly, the normal force is perpendicular to the displacement, so:
$\boxed{W_N = 0 J}$

(d)

Recall that the force of kinetic friction is given by:
$F_{f} =\mu_k mg$

Since the force of friction resists the applied force (assigned the positive direction), the work due to friction is NEGATIVE because energy is being LOST. Thus:
$W_f = -\mu_k mgd\\W_f = - (0.1)(56)(9.8)(56) = -3073.28 J$

In multiples of ten:
$\boxed{W_f = -3070 J}$

(e)
Simply add up the above values of work to find the net work.

$W_{net} = W_A + W_f \\\\W_{net} = 12027.36 + (-3073.28) = 8954.08 J$

Nearest multiple of ten:
$\boxed{W_{net} = 8950 J}}$

(f)
Similarly, we can use a summation of forces in the HORIZONTAL direction. (cosine of the applied force)
$F_{net} = F_{Ax} - F_f$

$W = F_{net} \cdot d = (F_{Ax} - F_f)$

$W = (F_Acos(30) - \mu_k mg)d\\W = (248cos(30) - 0.1(56)(9.8)) * 56 \\\\W = 8954.08 J$

Nearest multiple of ten:
$\boxed{W_{net} = 8950 J}$

A 1500-kg car locks its brakes and skids to a stop on a slippery horizontal road, leaving skid marks that are 15 m long. How muc

Harman [31]

Answer:

$E=88200\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of car, $m=1500\ kg$

distance of skidding after the application of brakes, $d=15\ m$

coefficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_k=0.4$

<u>So, the energy dissipated during the skidding of car:</u>

<em>Frictional force:</em>

$f=\mu_k.N$

where N = normal reaction by ground on the car

$f=0.4\ties 1500\times 9.8$

$f=5880\ N$

<em>Now from the work-energy equivalence:</em>

$E=f.d$

$E=5880\times 15$

$E=88200\ J$ is the dissipated energy.

An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 2.15 kg mass is hung from the spring, stretching the spring a distance d = 0.0895 m fr

Igoryamba

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through the equilibrium position is 0.06500 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 2.15 kg

Distance = 0.0895 m

Amplitude = 0.0235 m

We need to calculate the spring constant

Using newton's second law

$F= mg$

Where, f = restoring force

$kx=mg$

$k=\dfrac{mg}{x}$

Put the value into the formula

$k=\dfrac{2.15\times9.8}{0.0895}$

$k=235.41\ N/m$

We need to calculate the kinetic energy of the mass

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Here, $v = A\omega$

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}m\times(A\omega)^2$

Here, $\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}^2$

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}m\times A^2\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}^2$

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times235.41\times(0.0235)^2$

$K.E=0.06500\ J$

Hence, The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through the equilibrium position is 0.06500 J.
