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.

How much heat is needed to melt 13.74 kg of silver that is initially at 20°C?
salantis [7]

Answer:

Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J

Explanation:

As we know that melting point of silver is

T = 961.8 degree C

Latent heat of fusion of silver is given as

L = 111 kJ/kg

specific heat capacity of silver is given as

s = 240 J/kg C

now we will have

Q = ms\Delta T + mL

\Delta T = 961.8 - 20

\Delta T = 941.8 degree C

now from above equation

Q = (13.74)(240)(941.8) + (13.74)(111 \times 10^3)

Q = 3.1 \times 10^6 + 1.53 \times 10^6

Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J
