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.
Hope it help!

When sugar is poured from the box into the sugar bowl, the rubbing of sugar grains creates a static electric charge that repels
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

2.6×10⁻³ N

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

F = kq'q/r²................ Equation 1

Where F = Repulsive force, q' = charge on the first sugar grain, q = charge on the second sugar grain, r = distance of separation between the sugar grain, k = proportionality constant.

From the question,

since q' = q

Then,

F = kq²/r²..................... Equation 2

Given: q = 1.79×10⁻¹¹ C, r = 3.45×10⁻⁵ m,

Constant: k = 9×10⁹ Nm²/kg².

Substitute into equation 2

F = 9×10⁹(1.79×10⁻¹¹)²/(3.45×10⁻⁵ )²

F = 9×10⁹(3.2041×10⁻²²)/(11.9025×10⁻¹⁰)

F = (28.8369×10⁻¹³)/(11.9025×10⁻¹⁰)

F = 2.6×10⁻³ N.

A sound wave has a frequency of 265 hz and a wavelength measured at 1.3
pochemuha

Answer:

V = f λ     speed of wave in terms of frequency and wavelength

t = S / V      time for wave to travel a distance S

t = 91.4 m / 344.5 m/s = .265 sec        time to travel 91.4 m

What is the volume of an irregularly shaped object that has a mass 3.0 grams and a density of 6.0 g/mL
pogonyaev

Answer: The volume of an irregularly shaped object is 0.50 ml

Explanation:

To calculate the volume, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of object = 6.0g/ml

mass of object = 3.0 g

Volume of object = ?

Putting in the values we get:

6.0g/ml=\frac{3.0g}{\text{Volume of substance}}

{\text{Volume of substance}}=0.50ml

Thus the volume of an irregularly shaped object is 0.50 ml
