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.

Light will not pass through a pair of polaroids when their axes are

Advocard [28]

Answer:

perpendicular

Explanation:

Polaroids are the material that is used to polarize the ray of light. Polaroid consists of microcrystals of herapathite.

When unpolarized light is passed through the Polaroid then ray appears to be of half the intensity and vibration of the ray in the single plane so, the emerged light is known as polarized light

Polaroids are used in the glasses to protect the eye from unwanted rays.

When Light does not pass through a pair of Polaroids then the axis of Polaroids will be perpendicular to the axis of ray.

The pressure P (in kilopascals), volume V (in liters), and temperature T (in kelvins) of a mole of an ideal gas are related by t

stich3 [128]

Answer:

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = -0.466 m^3/s$

Explanation:

given,

P (in kilo pascals), volume V (in liters), temperature T (in kelvins)

P V = 8.31 T

Rate of increase the temperature = 0.1 K/s

temperature = 285 K

Pressure = 18 kPa

increasing at the rate of 0.07 k Pa/s

Rate at which volume is changing = ?

$V = 8.31 \dfrac{T}{P}$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 8.31 \dfrac{P\dfrac{dT}{dt}-T\dfrac{dP}{dt}}{P^2}$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 8.31 \dfrac{18 \times 0.1-285\times 0.07}{18^2}$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 8.31 \dfrac{-18.15}{324}$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = -0.466 m^3/s$

A force parallel to the x-axis acts on a particle moving along the x-axis. This force produces potential energy U(x) given by U(

noname [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

U(x)=αx⁴

Force F = - dU / dx

= 4αx³

= 4 x .75 x³

= 3 x³

Force when x = .8 m

F = 3 (0.8)³

= 1.54 N
