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

A singly charged positive ion has a mass of 3.46 × 10−26 kg. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 215 V the
jasenka [17]

Answer:

1.8 cm

Explanation:

m = mass of the singly charged positive ion = 3.46 x 10⁻²⁶ kg

q = charge on the singly charged positive ion = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

\Delta V =Potential difference through which the ion is accelerated = 215 V

v = Speed of the ion

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy gained by ion = Electric potential energy lost

(0.5) m v^{2} = q \Delta V\\(0.5) (3.46\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = (1.6\times10^{-19}) (215)\\(1.73\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = 344\times10^{-19}\\v = 4.5\times10^{4} ms^{-1}

r = Radius of the path followed by ion

B = Magnitude of magnetic field = 0.522 T

the magnetic force on the ion provides the necessary centripetal force, hence

qvB = \frac{mv^{2} }{r} \\qB = \frac{mv}{r}\\r =\frac{mv}{qB}\\r =\frac{(3.46\times10^{-26})(4.5\times10^{4})}{(1.6\times10^{-19})(0.522)}\\r = 0.018 m \\r = 1.8 cm

A student runs up a flight of stairs which info is not needed to calculate the rate of the student is doing work against gravity
NikAS [45]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Given that a student runs up a flight of stairs which info is not needed to calculate the rate of the student is doing work against gravity A the height of the flight of stairs B the length of flight of stairs C the time taken to run up the stairs D the weight of the student

The rate of doing work is known as power.

Power = work done/time

Work done = energy = mgh

Since energy = mgh

Where mg = weight

And h = height

Time = time taken to run up the stairs.

Time, weight mg and height h will be needed while the Length of the flight is therefore not needed.

The correct answer is B.
