A tsunami wave is different than a normal wave because it is caused by an sudden displacement in the ocean. a earth quake below the ocean floor, a landslide, or a meteorite impact. normal waves are caused by the wind, weather and tides, unlike tsunamis. the long wavelengths from the impact from a earthquake can make the wave slow down and increase the amount of water + height for the wave, making a larger impact wave, a tsunami
Answer:
20.42 N/m
Explanation:
From hook's law,
F = ke ......................... Equation 1
Where F = Force applied to the spring., k = spring constant, e = extension.
Make k the subject of the equation,
k = F/e ................. Equation 2
Note: The force on the spring is equal to the weight of the mass hung on it.
F = W = mg.
k = mg/e................ Equation 3
Given: m = 250 g = 0.25 kg, e = 37-25 = 12 cm = 0.12 m.
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute into equation 3
k = (0.25×9.8)/0.12
k = 20.42 N/m.
Hence the spring constant = 20.42 N/m
Answer:
g = 8.61 m/s²
Explanation:
distance of the International Space Station form earth is 200 Km
mass of the object = 1 Kg
acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s²
mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg
acceleration due to gravity = ?
r = 6400 + 200 = 6800 Km = 6.8 x 10⁶ n
using formula
g = 8.61 m/s²
