Which best describes a tsunami?

Answers

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

A tsunami is series of waves caused by heavy winds. Hurricanes can cause tsunami

You are asked to design a spring that will give a 1070 kg satellite a speed of 3.75 m/s relative to an orbiting space shuttle. Your spring is to give the satellite a maximum acceleration of 5.00g. The spring's mass, the recoil kinetic energy of the shuttle, and changes in gravitational potential energy will all be negligible.
(a) What must the force constant of the spring be?
(b) What distance must the spring be compressed?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]380697.33\ \text{N/m}[/tex]

[tex]0.138\ \text{m}[/tex]

Explanation:

m = Mass rocket = 1070 kg

v = Velocity of rocket = 3.75 m/s

a = Acceleration of rocket = 5g

g = Acceleration due to gravity = [tex]9.81\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]

The energy balance of the system is given by

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow kx=\dfrac{mv^2}{x}\\\Rightarrow kx=\dfrac{1070\times 3.75^2}{x}\\\Rightarrow kx=\dfrac{7250}{x}[/tex]

The force balance of the system is given by

[tex]ma=kx\\\Rightarrow m5g=\dfrac{7250}{x}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{7250}{1070\times 5\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow x=0.138\ \text{m}[/tex]

The distance the spring must be compressed is [tex]0.138\ \text{m}[/tex]

[tex]k=\dfrac{7250}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{7250}{0.138^2}\\\Rightarrow k=380697.33\ \text{N/m}[/tex]

The force constant of the spring is [tex]380697.33\ \text{N/m}[/tex].

A self-driving car traveling along a straight section of road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 25.0 m/s. Then the vehicle travels for 39.0 s at constant speed until the brakes are applied, stopping the vehicle in a uniform manner in an additional 5.00 s.
(a) How long is the self-driving car in motion (in s)?
(b) What is the average velocity of the self-driving car for the motion described? (Enter the magnitude in m/s.) m/s

Answers

Answer:

[tex]56.5\ \text{s}[/tex]

[tex]21.13\ \text{m/s}[/tex]

Explanation:

v = Final velocity

u = Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

t = Time

s = Displacement

Here the kinematic equations of motion are used

[tex]v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{25-0}{2}\\\Rightarrow t=12.5\ \text{s}[/tex]

Time the car is at constant velocity is 39 s

Time the car is decelerating is 5 s

Total time the car is in motion is [tex]12.5+39+5=56.5\ \text{s}[/tex]

Distance traveled

[tex]v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{25^2-0}{2\times 2}\\\Rightarrow s=156.25\ \text{m}[/tex]

[tex]s=vt\\\Rightarrow s=25\times 39\\\Rightarrow s=975\ \text{m}[/tex]

[tex]v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{0-25}{5}\\\Rightarrow a=-5\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]

[tex]s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0-25^2}{2\times -5}\\\Rightarrow s=62.5\ \text{m}[/tex]

The total displacement of the car is [tex]156.25+975+62.5=1193.75\ \text{m}[/tex]

Average velocity is given by

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Total displacement}}{\text{Total time}}=\dfrac{1193.75}{56.5}=21.13\ \text{m/s}[/tex]

The average velocity of the car is [tex]21.13\ \text{m/s}[/tex].

Explanation:

A soccer ball with mass 0.450 kg is initially moving with speed 2.20 m/s. A soccer player kicks the ball, exerting a constant force of magnitude 38.0 N in the same direction as the ball's motion. Over what distance must her foot be in contact with the ball to increase the ball's speed to 6.00m/s?

Answers

Answer:

0.187 m

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the acceleration of the ball. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.450 Kg

Force (F) = 38 N

Acceleration (a) =?

F = m × a

38 = 0.450 × a

Divide both side by 0.450

a = 38 / 0.450

a = 84.44 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the distance. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 2.20 m/s.

Final velocity (v) = 6 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 84.44 m/s²

Distance (s) =?

v² = u² + 2as

6² = 2.2² + (2 × 84.44 × s)

36 = 4.4 + 168.88s

Collect like terms

36 – 4.84 = 168.88s

31.52 = 168.88s

Divide both side by 168.88

s = 31.52 / 168.88

s = 0.187 m

Thus, the distance is 0.187 m

A wall in a house contains a single window. The window consists of a single pane of glass whose area is 0.10 m2 and whose thickness is 8 mm. Treat the wall as a slab of the insulating material Styrofoam whose area and thickness are 11 m2 and 0.15 m, respectively. Heat is lost via conduction through the wall and the window. The temperature difference between the inside and outside is the same for the wall and the window. Of the total heat lost by the wall and the window, what is the percentage lost by the window

Answers

Answer:

the percentage of heat lost by the window is 93.18%

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Area of glass [tex]A_{glass[/tex] = 0.10 m²

Thickness of glass [tex]t_{glass[/tex] = 8 mm = 0.008 m

Area of Styrofoam [tex]A_{styrofoam[/tex] = 11 m²

Thickness of Styrofoam [tex]t_{styrofoam[/tex] = 0.15 m

we know that;

Thermal conductivity of glass [tex]k_{glass[/tex] =  0.80 J/smC°

Thermal conductivity of Styrofoam  [tex]k_{styrofoam[/tex] =  0.010 J/smC°

Now, temperature difference between outside and inside the walls and window is ΔT

So, In time t, heat lost due to conduction in the window will be;

[tex]Q_{glass[/tex] = [[tex]k_{glass[/tex] × [tex]A_{glass[/tex]  × ΔTt] / [tex]t_{glass[/tex]

we substitute

[tex]Q_{glass[/tex] = [ 0.80 × 0.10 × (ΔT)t] / 0.008

[tex]Q_{glass[/tex] = [ 0.80 × 0.10 × (ΔT)t] / 0.008  

[tex]Q_{glass[/tex] = 10(ΔT)t J

Also, the heat lost due to conduction in the wall be;

[tex]Q_{styrofoam[/tex] =  [[tex]k_{styrofoam[/tex] × [tex]A_{styrofoam[/tex] × ΔTt] / [tex]t_{styrofoam[/tex]

we substitute

[tex]Q_{styrofoam[/tex] =  [ 0.010 × 11 × ΔTt] / 0.15

[tex]Q_{styrofoam[/tex] =  0.7333(ΔT)t J

Now, Net heat lost in the wall and window is;

Q = [tex]Q_{glass[/tex] + [tex]Q_{styrofoam[/tex]

Q = 10(ΔT)t J + 0.7333(ΔT)t J

Q = 10.7333(ΔT)t J

So, the percentage of heat lost by the windows will be;

% of heat lost = [tex]Q_{glass[/tex] / Q

= 10(ΔT)t J / 10.7333(ΔT)t J

= 0.93167

= ( 0.93167 × 100 )%

= 93.18%

Therefore, the percentage of heat lost by the window is 93.18%

A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 120 kg and a radius of 1.80 m and it is rotating with an angular velocity of 0.400 rev/s. What is its angular velocity (in rev/s) after a 22.0 kg child gets onto it by grabbing its outer edge

Answers

Answer:

The final angular velocity is rev/s is 0.293 rev/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the merry-go-round, m₁ = 120 kg

radius of the merry-go-round, r = 1.8 m

initial angular velocity, ω = 0.4 rev/s

mass of the child, m₂ = 22 kg

Apply the principle of conservation angular momentum to determine the final angular velocity;

[tex]I_i= I_f\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_1r^2 \omega _i = \frac{1}{2} m_1r^2 \omega _f + m_2r^2 \omega _f\\\\ \frac{1}{2} m_1r^2 \omega _i =( \frac{1}{2} m_1r^2 + m_2r^2 )\omega _f\\\\\omega _f = \frac{ \frac{1}{2} m_1r^2 \omega _i}{\frac{1}{2} m_1r^2 + m_2r^2} \\\\\omega _f = \frac{ \frac{1}{2} m_1 \omega _i}{\frac{1}{2} m_1 + m_2}\\\\\omega _f = \frac{0.5 \ \times \ 120\ kg \ \times \ 0.4\ rev/s}{0.5 \ \times 120\ kg \ \ + \ \ 22 \ kg} \\\\\omega _f = 0.293 \ rev/s\\[/tex]

Therefore, the final angular velocity is rev/s is 0.293 rev/s.

Your ear is capable of differentiating sounds that arrive at each ear just 0.34 ms apart, which is useful in determining where low frequency sound is originating from. (a) Suppose a low-frequency sound source is placed to the right of a person, whose ears are approximately 18 cm apart, and the speed of sound generated is 340 m/s. How long is the interval between when the sound arrives at the right ear and the sound arrives at the left ear

Answers

Answer:

Δt = 5.29 x 10⁻⁴ s = 0.529 ms

Explanation:

The simple formula of the distance covered in uniform motion can be used to find the interval between when the sound arrives at the right ear and the sound arrives at the left ear.

[tex]\Delta s = v\Delta t\\\\\Delta t = \frac{\Delta s}{v}[/tex]

where,

Δt = required time interval = ?

Δs = distance between ears = 18 cm = 0.18 m

v = speed of sound = 340 m/s

Therefore,

[tex]\Delta t = \frac{0.18\ m}{340\ m/s}[/tex]

Δt = 5.29 x 10⁻⁴ s = 0.529 ms

Angle is [tex]\theta[/tex] = 30 degree

Now

We know that

the magnitude of the magnetic torque is
