The correct answer is - a. was a sign of danger.

Once the people saw that the ocean waters are receding and were living vast space without water behind them, they knew that something big and very dangerous will happen. And in fact it did. The water that was sucked in in the place were there was a crack on the ocean floor, got shot back under big pressure and it had very big speed, as well as having waves that were destroying anything on their way.

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

Tsunamis are the series of large waves that are generated in the large water bodies such as seas and oceans, due to an earthquake, underwater explosion or landslide. These waves can rise up to a height of about hundreds of meters.

A receding ocean is a sign of danger that signifies that a tsunami is approaching. During this time the water level drops down unusually along the coastline. It is a kind of warning that is given to the people living in the coastal areas to evacuate it as soon as possible in order to save their lives.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

V^2=u^2 +2aS
U is found first by considering that first 8 secs and using v=u+at. {different v and u though}

V=-u+gt.
Magnitude of u = magnitude of v if there is no resistance ( because the conservation of energy says the k. E. must be the same when it passes you as when it left your hand).... up is negative here, down is positive.
V+v=gt
2v= g x 8
V=4xg.= the initial velocity for the next calculation
V^2=(4g)^2+(2xgx21)

So v can be calculated.

The amount of friction divided by the weight of an object forms a unit less number called the
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction.

Explanation:

The amount of friction divided by the weight of an object is equal to the coefficient of friction. It is a dimensional less number. It can be given by :

F=\mu N

N is normal force.

\mu = coefficient of friction

\mu=\dfrac{F}{N}

How much work is done lifting a 12-m chain that is initially coiled on the ground and has a density 2 kg/m so that its top end i
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

2587.2 J.

Explanation:

From potential energy,

The work done to lift the chain = potential energy of the chain.

W = mgh............... Equation 1

Where W = work done to lift the chain, m = mass of the chain, g = acceleration due to gravity of the chain, h = height of the chain.

But,

m = m'd............... Equation 2

Where m' = density of the chain, d = length of the chain.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

W = m'dgh................ Equation 3

Given: m' = 2 kg/m, d = 12 m, h = 11 m, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 3

W = 2(12)(11)(9.8)

W = 2587.2 J.

A ball is launched with initial speed v from the ground level up a frictionless hill. The hill becomes steeper as the ball slide
Triss [41]

Answer:

H(max) = (v²/2g)

Explanation:

The maximum height the ball will climb will be when there is no friction at all on the surface of the hill.

Normally, the conservation of kinetic energy (specifically, the work-energy theorem) states that, the change in kinetic energy of a body between two points is equal to the work done in moving the body between the two points.

With no frictional force to do work, all of the initial kinetic emergy is used to climb to the maximum height.

ΔK.E = W

ΔK.E = (final kinetic energy) - (initial kinetic energy)

Final kinetic energy = 0 J, (since the body comes to rest at the height reached)

Initial kinetic energy = (1/2)(m)(v²)

Workdone in moving the body up to the height is done by gravity

W = - mgH

ΔK.E = W

0 - (1/2)(m)(v²) = - mgH

mgH = mv²/2

gH = v²/2

H = v²/2g.
