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.

The angular velocity of a 755-g wheel 15.0 cm in diameter is given by the equation ω(t) = (2.00 rad/s2)t + (1.00 rad/s4)t 3. (a)
Lunna [17]

Answer:

a

The number of radians turned by the wheel in 2s is   \theta= 8\ radians

b

The angular acceleration is  \alpha =14 rad/s^2

Explanation:

        The angular velocity  is given as

                 w(t) = (2.00 \ rda/s^2)t + (1.00 rad /s^4)t^3

Now generally the integral of angular velocity gives angular displacement

           So integrating the equation of angular velocity through the limit 0 to 2 will gives us the angular displacement for 2 sec

    This is mathematically evaluated as

            \theta(t ) = \int\limits^2_0 {2t + t^3} \, dt

                  = [\frac{2t^2}{2} + \frac{t^4}{4}] \left\{ 2} \atop {0}} \right.

                  = [\frac{2(2^2)}{2} + \frac{2^4}{4}] - 0

                  = 4 +4

                 \theta= 8\ radians

Now generally the derivative  of angular velocity gives angular acceleration

      So the value of the derivative of angular velocity equation at t= 2 gives us the angular acceleration

    This is mathematically evaluated as          

           \frac{dw}{dt}  = \alpha (t) = 2 + 3t^2

so at t=2

            \alpha (2) = 2 +3(2)^2

                   \alpha =14 rad/s^2

At Alpha Centauri's surface, the gravitational force between Alpha Centauri and a 2 kg mass of hot gas has a magnitude of 618.2
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

6.86 * 10^8 m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of hot gas, m = 2 kg

Gravitational Force, F = 618.2 N

Mass of Alpha Centauri, M = 2.178 * 10^30 kg

The gravitational force between two masses (the hot gas and Alpha Centauri) , m and M, at a distance, r, given as:

F = (G*M*m) / r²

Where G = gravitational constant

Therefore,

618.2 = (6.67 * 10^(-11) * 2.178 * 10^30 * 2) / r²

=> r² = (6.67 * 10^(-11) * 2.178 * 10^30 * 2) / 618.2

r² = 4.699 * 10^17 m²

=> r = 6.86 * 10^8 m

We are told that the hot gas is on the surface of Alpha Centauri, hence, the distance between both their centers is the radius of Alpha Centauri.

The mean radius of Alpha Centauri is 6.86 * 10^8 m.

What is the weight in Newtons of a ball with a mass of 7.77 kg?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

76.1N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the ball  = 7.77kg

Unknow:

Weight of balloon  = ?

Solution:

Weight is the vertical force applied on a body.

  Weight = mass x acceleration due gravity

So;

  Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

So;

 Weight  = 7.77 x 9.8  = 76.1N

Describe how the kidney and bladder work together to remove waste from the body. (2 points)
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra water from blood. Urine travels from the kidneys through two thin tubes called ureters and fills the bladder. When the bladder is full, a person urinates through the urethra to eliminate the waste.

Explanation:

Good luckkk
