An earthquake in the ocean floor can generate a tsunami wave. A tsunami originating near the Alaska coast had a wavelength of 47

0 miles and traveled 2300 miles in 5.3 h. Determine the wave’s:___________
a. Speed in miles/hour and in m/s.
b. Frequency
c. Period (in seconds and in minutes).

Answer:

Explanation:

the speed of the tsunami will be

v = distance / time

v = s/t

v = 2300 / 5.3

v = 434 miles/hour

To convert this to m/s, we should note that, 1 mile = 1609 m, and thus

434 miles/hr = 434 * 1609/3600

434 miles/hr = 194 m/s

The frequency, f is given by the formula

f = velocity * wavelength

f = vλ

f = 194 * 470

f = 91180 Hz = 91 kHz

Period, T = 1/f

Period T = 1.096*10^-5 s or

Period T = 1.096*10^-5 / 60

Period, T = 1.828*10^-7 minute

two point charges of magnitude 4.0 μc and -4.0 μc are situated along the x-axis at x1 = 2.0 m and x2 = -2.0 m, respectively. wha
user100 [1]

The electric potential at the origin of the xy coordinate system is negative infinity

<h3>What is the electric field due to the 4.0 μC charge?</h3>

The electric field due to the 4.0 μC charge is E = kq/r² where

  • k = electric constant = 9.0 × 10 Nm²/C²,
  • q = 4.0 μC = 4.0 × 10 C and
  • r = distance of charge from origin = x₁ - 0 = 2.0 m - 0 m = 2.0 m

<h3>What is the electric field due to the -4.0 μC charge?</h3>

The electric field due to the -4.0 μC charge is E = kq'/r² where

  • k = electric constant = 9.0 × 10 Nm²/C²,
  • q' = -4.0 μC = -4.0 × 10 C and
  • r = distance of charge from origin = 0 - x₂ = 0 - (-2.0 m) = 0 m + 2.0 m = 2.0 m

Since both electric fields are equal in magnitude and directed along the negative x-axis, the net electric field at the origin is

E" = E + E'

= -2E

= -2kq/r²

<h3>What is the electric potential at the origin?</h3>

So, the electric potential at the origin is V = -∫₂⁰E".dr

= -∫₂⁰-2kq/r².dr

Since E and dr = dx are parallel and r = x, we have

= -∫₂⁰-2kqdxcos0/x²

= 2kq∫₂⁰dx/x²

= 2kq[-1/x]₂⁰

= -2kq[1/x]₂⁰

= -2kq[1/0 - 1/2]

= -2kq[∞ - 1/2]

= -2kq[∞]

= -∞

So, the electric potential at the origin of the xy coordinate system is negative infinity

Carbon-14 is the typical radioisotope used to date materials; however, it has a limitation to 40,000 years. A scientist who want
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

the only one of these materials that allows studying processes of a very long period of time is Uranium 238

Explanation:

In a radioactive material, half of the atoms decay each life period, in carbon 14 this period T = 5730 years, so for a time of 40,000 years there are 7 life periods, so there are very few atoms left without decomposing .

To study older samples, materials with a longer life period are needed, let's show the visa time

²³⁸U     T=  4.5 10¹⁰ years

⁹¹Rb     T =  58 s

¹³¹I        T= 8.04 days

⁶⁰Co     T= 5.27 years

Therefore, the only one of these materials that allows studying processes of a very long period of time is Uranium 238

A bicycle has a momentum of 36 kg* m/s and a very!I city of 4 m/s.What is the mass of the bicycle?
Strike441 [17]

p = 36 kgm/s

v = 4m/s

we know that,

p = mv

so,

m =  \frac{p}{v}

m  =  \frac{36}{4}

m = 9kg
