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.

A rigid, insulated tank that is initially evacuated is connected though a valve to a supply line that carries steam at 1 MPa and
meriva

Answer:

Final Temperature of the steam tank = 456.4°C

Explanation:

Assuming it to be a uniform flow process, kinetic and potential energy to be zero, and work done and heat input to be zero also.  We can conclude that,

Enthalpy of the steam in pipe = Internal Energy of the steam in tank

Using the Property tables and Charts - Steam tables,  

At Pressure= 1 MPa and Temperature= 300°C,

Enthalpy = 3051.2 kJ/kg

At Pressure= 1 MPa and Internal Energy= 3051.2 kJ/kg,

Temperature = 456.4°C.

How much work did the movers do (horizontally) pushing a 41.0-kg crate 10.6 m across a rough floor without acceleration, if the
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The required work done is 2555.448~J

Explanation:

Consider 'F' is the applied force on the crate and 'f' be the force created by friction. According to the figure if '\mu_{k}' be the coefficient of friction, then

f = \mu_{k} \times N = \mu_{k} \times Mg

where 'M', 'N' and 'g' are the mass of the crate, the normal force aced upon the block and the acceleration due to gravity respectively.

Since the application of force by the movers does not create any acceleration to the block, we can write

F = f = \mu_{k} \times M \times g = 0.6 \times 41~Kg~ \times 9.8~m~s^{-2} = 241.08~N

So the work done (W) in moving the crate by a distance s = 10.6 m is

W = F \times s = 241.08~N \times 10.6~m = 2555.448 J

A stationary police car emits a sound of frequency 1240 HzHz that bounces off of a car on the highway and returns with a frequen
lara [203]

Answer:

frequency =  1475.45 Hz

Explanation:

given data

frequency f1 = 1215 Hz,

frequency f2 = 1265 Hz

police car moving vp = 25.0 m/s

solution

speed of sound u = 343 m / s

speed of the other car = v

when the police car is stationary

the frequency the other car receives is

f2 =  f1  ×  \dfrac{u+v}{u}      ................1

and

the frequency the police car receives is

 f2 =  f1  ×  \dfrac{u}{u-v}      ..................2

now from equation 1 and 2

\frac{f2}{f1} = \dfrac{u+v}{u-v}

 \frac{1275}{1240} = \frac{u+v}{u-v}

v =\frac{1275-1240}{1275+1240}\times 343  

v = 4.77 m/s

and

frequency the other car receives is  

f2 = f1 ×   \dfrac{u+v}{u-vp}       ......................3

and

the frequency the police car receives is

f2 = f1 ×  \dfrac{u+vp}{u - v}       .......................4

now we get

f2 = f1 ×  \dfrac{(u+v)(u + vp)}{(u-v)(u-vp)}      

f2 =    1240\times \frac{(343+4.77)(343+25)}{(343-4.77)(343-25)}        

f2 =  1475.45 Hz
