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.

A block with a mass M = 4.85 kg is resting on a slide that has a curved surface. There is no friction. The speed of the block af

Answer:

The correct option is a

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the block is  m =  4.84 \ kg

    The height of the vertical  drop is h =  19.6 \  m

Generally from the law of energy conservation , the potential energy at the top  of the slide is equal to the kinetic energy at the point after sliding this can be mathematically represented as

        PE  =  KE

i.e     m *  g  *   h   =  \frac{1}{2} *  m *  v^2

=>    gh  =  0.5 v^2

=>   v = \sqrt{\frac{9.8 *  19.6}{0.5 } }

=>    v = 19.6 \  m/s

<span>It's A. Individuals with traits NOT suited for survival DON'T pass their traits to their offspring, because they don't survive and they DON'T HAVE OFFSPRING. That's why, after a while, most of the living individuals have traits that ARE suited for survival. THAT's what evolution says. It says nothing about individuals changing. Note this not my answer its the answer of the guy up above who wrote it in the comments instead of in an answer!</span><span />
