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 646 km and traveled a distance of 3630 km in 6.15 h. (a) What was the speed (in m/s) of the wave

Answer:

v =163.95 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of wave, \lambda=646\ km=646\times 10^3\ m

Distance covered, d=3630\ km=3630\times 10^3\ m

We need to find the speed of the wave. We know that,

speed = distance/time

So,

v=\dfrac{3630\times 10^3\ m}{22140\ s}\\\\=163.95\ m/s

So, the speed of the wave is equal to 163.95 m/s.

Should you be worried if a n eighteen wheeler truck is riding close behind your car? Explain why or why not. Please help me D:
xz_007 [3.2K]
For some reasons, no. If the driver looks focused and has experience, then it would be okay. Again, it could be dangerous if you bump into the truck, it would cause damage to you and your passengers. 

Mostly, I would agree with 'No'. :)
