Answer:

Some of the common impacts of earthquakes include structural damage to buildings, fires, damage to bridges and highways, initiation of slope failures, liquefaction, and tsunami. The types of impacts depend to a large degree on where the earthquake is located: whether it is predominantly urban or rural, densely or sparsely populated, highly developed or underdeveloped, and of course on the ability of the infrastructure to withstand shaking.

Answer:

c. 2 m/s

Explanation:

The relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by:

$v=f \lambda$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the transverse wave in this problem, we have:

$f = 4 Hz$ is the frequency

$\lambda=0.5 m$ is the wavelength

Substituting these numbers into the equation, we find the speed of the wave:

$v=(4 Hz)(0.5 m)=2 m/s$

Answer:

The soda is being sucket out at a rate of 3.14 cubic inches/second.

Explanation:

R= 2in

S= π*R²= 12.56 inch²

rate= 0.25 in/sec

rate of soda sucked out= rate* S

rate of soda sucked out= 3.14 inch³/sec

love history [14]

Answer:

625 W

Explanation:

Applying

P = W/t.................... Equation 1

Where p = power, W = Work, t = time

But,

W = Force (F) × distance (d)

W = Fd........................ Equation 2

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = Fd/t.................... Equation 3

From the question,

Given: F = 5000 N, d = 30 m, t = 4 munites = (4×60) seconds = 240 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 3

P = (5000×30)/240

P = 625 Watt
