The tsunami described in the passage produced a very erratic pattern of damage, with some areas seeing very large waves and near

by areas seeing only small waves. Which of the following is a possible explanation?
A. Certain areas saw the wave from the primary source, others only the reflected waves.
B. The superposition of waves from the primary source and reflected waves produced regions of constructive and destructive interference.
C. A tsunami is a standing wave, and certain locations were at nodal positions, others at antinodal positions.

Answer:B. The superposition of waves from the primary source and reflected waves produced regions of constructive and destructive interference.

Explanation: Tsunami is described as several waves originating from a water body mainly an ocean caused by Large scale earth movements taking place under the sea.

Superimposition of wave is the movement of one wave on another,it can be constructive or destructive.

Constructive interference is a wave interference that take place causing the Crest of one wave to align with that of another wave leading to high amplitude.

Destructive interference is a wave interference that take place causing the Trouph of one wave to align with the crest of another wave leading to low amplitude wave.

Coherent light of wavelength 540 nm passes through a pair of thin slits that are 3.4 × 10-5 m apart. At what angle away from the
Scrat [10]

Answer: 1.8\°

Explanation:

The diffraction angles \theta_{n} when we have a slit divided into n parts are obtained by the following equation:

dsin\theta_{n}=n\lambda (1)

Where:

d=3.4(10)^{-5}m is the width of the slit

\lambda=540 nm=540(10)^{-9}m is the wavelength of the light  

n is an integer different from zero.

Now, the second-order diffraction angle is given when n=2, hence equation (1) becomes:

dsin\theta_{2}=2\lambda (2)

Now we have to find the value of \theta_{2}:

sin\theta_{2}=\frac{2\lambda}{d} (3)

Then:

\theta_{2}=arcsin(\frac{2\lambda}{d})   (4)

\theta_{2}=arcsin(\frac{2(540(10)^{-9}m)}{3.4(10)^{-5}m})   (5)

Finally:

\theta_{2}=1.8\°   (6)

How much power does it take to lift a 30.0 n box 10.0 m high in 5.00 s, if you must apply a 62n force to lift the box?
Illusion [34]
Power is defined as the rate at which the body is doing work:
P=\frac{W}{t}
Work is defined as displacement done by the force times that displacement:
W=F\cdot h
We know that we need 62N to move the box, so when we apply this force along the path of 10m we have done:
W=62N\cdot10m=620J
of work.
Now we just divide that by 5s to get how much power is required:
P=\frac{620J}{5s}=124W

A force off 700 newtons is applied to a 600 kg bowling ball. What is the acceleration of the bowling ball once the force is appl
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

<h2>1.17 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{700}{600}  =  \frac{7}{6}  \\  = 1.1666666...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.17 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

How is the electromagnetic spectrum organized
Vlad1618 [11]
<span>The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object. Hope this helped.</span>
