Using a flowchart, discuss how a tsunami develops?​

Physics
1 answer:
Ahat [919]3 years ago
4 0

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.

The longest banana split ever made was 7.32 km long (obviously they used more than one banana). If an archer were to shoot an ar
elixir [45]

Answer:

The horizontal displacement of the arrow is not larger than the banana split.

Explanation:

Using y - y₀ = ut - 1/2gt², we find the time it takes the arrow to drop to the ground from the top of mount Everest.

So, y₀ = elevation of Mount Everest = 29029 ft = 29029 × 1ft = 29029 × 0.3048 m = 8848.04 m, y = final position of arrow = 0 m, u = initial vertical speed of arrow = 0 m/s, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and t = time taken for arrow to fall to the ground.

y - y₀ = ut - 1/2gt²

0 - y₀ = 0 × t - 1/2gt²

-y₀ = -1/2gt²

t² = 2y₀/g

t = √(2y₀/g)

Substituting the values of the variables, we have

t = √(2y₀/g)

= √(2 × 8848.04 m/9.8 m/s²)

= √(17696.08 m/9.8 m/s²)

= √(1805.72 s²)

= 42.5 s

The horizontal distance the arrow moves is thus d = vt where v = maximum firing speed of arrow = 100 m/s and t = 42.5 s

So, d = vt

= 100 m/s × 42.5 s

= 4250 m

= 4.25 km

Since d = 4.25 km < 7.32 km, the horizontal displacement of the arrow is not larger than the banana split.

Do I fill this chart right? Can you please check if I am wrong or not?
luda_lava [24]

Physical properties of water:

Color: No color/colorless.

Odor: Odorless.

Taste: Tasteless.

Density: 1 g/ml.

Boiling point: 100°C.

Freezing/Melting point: 0°C.

State or phase:

Vapor: Gas.

Room temperature: Liquid.

Ice: Solid.

Hence, water is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless substance whose density is 1 g/ml. It boils at 100°C and melts at 0°C. In the vapor phase, it is in a gaseous state, at room temperature, it exists in a liquid state, and when its freezes (ice) it's in the solid state.
