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.

Answer:

D) The heavier ball will have a higher temperature because the change of temperature is inversely proportional to mass.

Explanation:

As stated in the problem, the amount of heat released by each ball is

Q=mC_p \Delta T

where

m is the mass of the ball

Cp is the specific heat of iron (so, it is equal for both balls)

\Delta T is the change in temperature of each ball

In this problem, we are said that the amount of heat released by the two balls, Q, is the same. Cp is also the same: this means that the product m\Delta T must be the same for the two balls. So, the mass and the change in temperature are inversely proportional: therefore, the heavier ball will have a smaller change in temperature. And since both balls starts from the same temperature, 100 C, this means that the heavier ball will reach a higher temperature than the lighter ball.

The definition of speed is (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

So a unit of speed has to be (a unit of length) / (a unit of time) .

Here are several perfectly fine units of speed:

-- miles per hour

-- feet per second

-- meters per second

-- kilometers per hour

-- inches per second

-- centimeters per minute

-- yards per Century

-- furlongs per fortnight

-- nanometers per microsecond

-- Smoots per week

-- parsecs per millenium

At t = 0 a grinding wheel has an angular velocity of 24.0 rad/s. It has a constant angular acceleration of 30.0rad/s2 until a ci
kozerog [31]

Answer:

θ=108rad

t =10.29seconds

α=-8.17rad/s²

Explanation:

Given that

At t=0, Wo=24rad/sec

Constant angular acceleration =30rad/s²

At t=2, θ=432rad as it try to stop because the circuit break

Angular motion

W=Wo+αt

θ=Wot+1/2αt²

W²=Wo²+2αθ

We need to find θ between 0sec to 2sec when the wheel stop

a. θ=Wot+1/2αt²

θ=24×2+1/2×30×2²

θ=48+60

θ=108rad.

b. W=Wo+αt

W=24+30×2

W=84rad/s

This is the final angular velocity which is the initial angular velocity when the wheel starts to decelerate.

Wo=84rad/sec

W=0rad/s, because the wheel stop at θ=432rad

Using W²=Wo²+2αθ

0²=84²+2×α×432

-84²=864α

α=-8.17rad/s²

It is negative because it is decelerating

Now, time taken for the wheel to stop

W=Wo+αt

0=84-8.17t

-84=-8.17t

Then t =10.29seconds.

a. θ=108rad

b. t =10.29seconds

c. α=-8.17rad/s²
