Answer:

A tsunami is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami. Unlike normal ocean waves, which are generated by wind, or tides, which are generated by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun, a tsunami is generated by the displacement of water.

In what regions of the electromagnetic spectrum is the atmosphere transparent enough to allow observations from the ground?
MissTica

Answer:

Visible Light and Radio waves

Explanation:

The earth's atmosphere is transparent to a few windows in the electromagnetic spectrum. it is completely transparent to allow observation from the ground in visible light rang 380 to 740 nano meters. Also in the range of radio wave as communication are done from space to ground in the form of radio waves.

it is Partially transparent to Microwave and infrared range.

Consider a block of mass m attached to two springs, one on the left with spring constant k1 and one on the right with spring con
Andrew [12]

Answer:

T= 2\pi\times sqrt(m/(k1+k2))

Explanation:

When the block is displaced by x units

F= spring force

two springs are connected parallel

F =-k_1x - k_2x

Writing Newtons second law, F = ma

-k_1x - k_2x =ma

-k_1x - k_2x = mx''

a= x" ( differentiating x w.r.t time twice)

x''+(k_1/m + k_2/m) x=0

this the standard form of equation of oscillation spring mass system

This is the differential equation, x'' means that double differentiation of x , i.e, x'' is acceleration

since,  Period T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{K_{eq.}} }

therefore,

T= 2\pi\times sqrt(m/(k1+k2))

A laboratory technician drops a 72.0 g sample of unknown solid material, at a temperature of 80.0°C, into a calorimeter. The cal
Natalija [7]

Answer : The specific heat of unknown sample is, 8748.78J/kg^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-[q_2+q_3]

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)+m_3\times c_3\times (T_f-T_2)]

where,

c_1 = specific heat of unknown sample = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4186J/kg^oC

c_3 = specific heat of copper = 390J/kg^oC

m_1 = mass of unknown sample = 72.0 g  = 0.072 kg

m_2 = mass of water = 203 g  = 0.203 kg

m_2 = mass of copper = 187 g  = 0.187 kg

T_f = final temperature of calorimeter = 39.4^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of unknown sample = 80.0^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water and copper = 11.0^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

0.072kg\times c_1\times (39.4-80.0)^oC=-[(0.203kg\times 4186J/kg^oC\times (39.4-11.0)^oC)+(0.187kg\times 390J/kg^oC\times (39.4-11.0)^oC)]

c_1=8748.78J/kg^oC

Therefore, the specific heat of unknown sample is, 8748.78J/kg^oC
