Answer:

A tsunami is a sequence of particularly long water waves that can spread over very great distances and, as such, cause water to move.

When penetrating into areas of shallow water, the sea is compressed and thus piles up on the coasts to form several high tidal waves. These carry the water with great force far over the shoreline and usually cause great damage. During the subsequent retreat, the material carried away on the flooded land, often also people and animals, is mostly washed far out into the ocean.

Tsunamis occur as a result of sudden water displacement, such as when parts of the ocean floor are raised or lowered during an undersea earthquake or when large masses of earth and rock slide into the water as well as due to violent winds.

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Rain = 1.7 in

Time = 30 min

Area = 29 km²

Find:

Volume in acre-feet

Computation:

1 km = 1,000 m

1 m = 3.28 feet

1 km² = 247.105 acre

d = 1.7 in = 1.7 / 12 = 0.14167 ft

Area = 29 × 247.105 = 7,166.045 acre

Volume = 7,166.045 acre × 0.14167 ft

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

Two small spheres with mass 10 gm and charge q, are suspended from a point by threads of length L=0.22m. What is the charge on e

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

$q=1.95*10^{-7}C$

Explanation:

According to the free-body diagram of the system, we have:

$\sum F_y: Tcos(15^\circ)-mg=0(1)\\\sum F_x: Tsin(15^\circ)-F_e=0(2)$

So, we can solve for T from (1):

$T=\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)}(3)$

Replacing (3) in (2):

$(\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)})sin(15^\circ)=F_e$

The electric force ( $F_e$ ) is given by the Coulomb's law. Recall that the charge q is the same in both spheres:

$(\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)})sin(15^\circ)=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}(4)$

According to pythagoras theorem, the distance of separation (r) of the spheres are given by:

$sin(15^\circ)=\frac{\frac{r}{2}}{L}\\r=2Lsin(15^\circ)(5)$

Finally, we replace (5) in (4) and solving for q:

$mgtan(15^\circ)=\frac{kq^2}{(2Lsin(15^\circ))^2}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{mgtan(15^\circ)(2Lsin(15^\circ))^2}{k}}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{10*10^{-3}kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})tan(15^\circ)(2(0.22m)sin(15^\circ))^2}{8.98*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}}}\\q=1.95*10^{-7}C$
