Facts about Tsunami?

Physics
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]4 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.

Assume it takes 7.00 minutes to fill a 30.0 gal gas tank. (a) Calculate the rate at which the tank is filled in gallons per seco
Maslowich
A)
R1 = 30/(7*60)
We are multiplying 7 with 60 because there are 60 seconds in 1 minute.
R1 = 30/420 = 0.0714 gallons/second

b) For this we need to express gallons to cubic meters.
1 gallon = 0.003785 m^3
R2 = 0.0714*0.003785 = 0.00027 m^3/s

c) V = R2*t    where V is volume of some tank.
which means that
t=V/R2    
t =  3698.8s   or 
t = 1.0274 hours

Three samples of gas each exert 740. mm Hg in separate 2 L containers. What pressure do they exert if they are all placed in a s
Usimov [2.4K]
According to Dalton's law of partial pressure, the total pressure exerted is simply equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. Given that all three samples of gas each exert 740 mmHg, when they are placed in a single 2 L container, they exert a pressure of 2220 mmHg on the container which is the sum of their individual pressures.

Does a emp effect electronics it hits forever and does it fry it
Free_Kalibri [48]
I recently received the following question regarding EMP effects: “What will happen to vehicles with electronic ignitions, a Chevy with an ignition module, but they are not hooked to a battery, with no path for electricity to follow, can it do damage? There may not be power on the grid, but what about a generator? Can a drill that was not plugged in still be able to run?”

The short answer is, maybe.

The struggles were that women weren't really supposed to get an education back then, people called intelligent women witches and wouldn't teach them things. Those were the main struggles.
