Tsunamis are fast-moving waves often generated by underwater earthquakes. In the deep ocean their amplitude is barely noticable,

but upon reaching shore, they can rise up to the astonishing height of a six-story building.
One tsunami, generated off the Aleutian islands in Alaska, had a wavelength of 732 km and traveled a distance of 3650 km in 4.59 hours.
(a) What was the speed (in m/s) of the wave? For reference, the speed of a 747 jetliner is about 250 m/s. Find the wave's:
(b) frequency and
(c) period

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of motion. And from the speed found the relationships between wavelength, frequency and last of the period (which is inversely proportional to the frequency)

PART A) We know that the velocity of a body or a wave is equivalent to the distance traveled over a time interval. So,

V = \frac{x}{t}

Where

x = Distance

t = time

V = \frac{3650*10^{3}}{4.59h(\frac{3600s}{1h})}

V = 215.44m/s

PART B) The frequency would then be defined as

f = \frac{V}{\lambda}

Where

\lambda = Wavelength

f = \frac{215.44}{732*10^{3}}

f = 2.943*10^{-4}Hz

PART C) Finally the period is defined as

T = \frac{1}{f}

T = \frac{1}{2.943*10^{-4}}

T = \frac{1}{2.943*10^{-4}}

T = 3397.89s

A thin rod rotates at a constant angular speed. Consider the tangential speed of each point on the rod for the case when the axi
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

    v = R w    

With this expression we see that for each point at different radius the tangential velocity is different

Explanation:

They indicate that the angular velocity is constant, that is

            w = dθ / dt

Where θ is the radius swept angle and t the time taken.

The tangential velocity is linear or

           v = dx / dt

Where x is the distance traveled in time (t)

 

In the definition of radians

          θ = s / R

Where s is the arc traveled and R the radius vector from the pivot point, if the angle is small the arc (s) and the length (x) are almost equal

         θ = x / R

We substitute in the speed equation

         v = d (θ R) / dt

The radius is a constant for each point

         v = R dθ / dt

         v = R w

With this expression we see that for each point at different radius the tangential velocity is different

A projectile is launched horizontally from a height of 8.0 m. The projectile travels 6.5 m before hitting the ground.
spayn [35]

Answer:

5.09 m/s

Explanation:

Use the height to find the time it takes to land:

y = y₀ + v₀ᵧ t + ½ gt²

0 = 8.0 m + (0 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 1.28 s

Now use the horizontal distance to find the initial velocity.

x = x₀ + v₀ₓ t + ½ at²

6.5 m = 0 m + v₀ (1.28 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (1.28 s)²

v₀ = 5.09 m/s

Can spoon ring like a bell prove it
mote1985 [20]
Yes spoon can sound like a bell. To prove this, we perform an experiment.The handle of the spoon is tied at the mid point of the string, then wrap the ends of the string around pointer fingers. Now place fingers in  ears. Lean over so that spoon hangs freely and swing the spoon so it taps against a door.
A sound is produced because the spoon vibrated, causing sound waves to travel up the string and into ears.
