- Find the intensities of earthquakes whose magnitudes are (a) R=6.0 and (b) R=7.9.arrow_forwardTsunami Waves and BreakwatersThis is a continuation of Exercise 16. Breakwaters affect wave height by reducing energy. See Figure 5.30. If a tsunami wave of height H in a channel of width W encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to a width w, then the height h of the wave beyond the breakwater is given by h=HR0.5, where R is the width ratio R=w/W. a. Suppose a wave of height 8 feet in a channel of width 5000feet encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to 3000feet. What is the height of the wave beyond the breakwater? b. If a channel width is cut in half by a breakwater, what is the effect on wave height? 16. Height of Tsunami WavesWhen waves generated by tsunamis approach shore, the height of the waves generally increases. Understanding the factors that contribute to this increase can aid in controlling potential damage to areas at risk. Greens law tells how water depth affects the height of a tsunami wave. If a tsunami wave has height H at an ocean depth D, and the wave travels to a location with water depth d, then the new height h of the wave is given by h=HR0.25, where R is the water depth ratio given by R=D/d. a. Calculate the height of a tsunami wave in water 25feet deep if its height is 3feet at its point of origin in water 15,000feet deep. b. If water depth decreases by half, the depth ratio R is doubled. How is the height of the tsunami wave affected?arrow_forwardOn a sunny day, your friend Issac was daydreaming under an apple tree. All of a sudden, an apple dropped from the tree and hit Issac's head. From there Issac had the idea that the apple was dragged down from the tree by a "force". He contemplated an equation to describe this "force": F = m*g Where F is the force exerted onto the apple (in unit N), m is the mass of the apple (in unit kg), and g is a fundamental constant of nature, Issac named it the gravitational constant. Issac was intrigued by this idea and he wanted to measure the gravitational constant. He designed a simple experiment to do this: 1. Collect 5 apples 2. Measure the mass of each of them and put them into a dataset M 3. Put each apple onto the tree branch, and let 4. Measure the force exerted on each apple F = it drop from the tree [6.9, 7.3, 9.8, 9.0, 10} = {0.7, 0.7, 0.9, 0.8, 1.0} Issac carefully prepared his dataset so that there is one-to-one correspondence between each element in M and F. (i.e., the 1st apple…arrow_forward
- please help me step by steparrow_forwardPlease help me solve thisarrow_forwardIt follows from Coulomb’s law in physics that two like electrostatic charges repel each other with a force inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Suppose that two charges A and B repel with a force of k newtons when they are positioned at points A(−a,0) and B(a,0), where a is measured in meters. Find the work W required to move charge A along the x-axis to the origin if charge B remains stationary.arrow_forward
- At a county fair, there is a contest to see who can pull a heavy crate along the ground with the shortest piece of rope. The rope is attached to the crate at the bottom. By digging in his heels, Albert can pull on a rope with a force of 500 NEwtons. In order to budge the crate, Albert has calculated that he needs to use a force of 425 Newtons horizontally (parallel to the ground). When Albert is in his best pulling position, his hands are 95 cm above the ground.arrow_forwardIn the figure four particles are fixed along an x axis, separated by distances d = 3.80 cm.

- If i = j+7, i – j = d, and j– z = 6, show that ā = H/3arrow_forwardUse the concept of Particular Antiderivatives and Rectilinear Motion to answer the problem below: On the edge of an 8m building, Sam throws his toy vertically upwards at initial velocity = 28 m/s. If the only force that acts on the toy is accelerationdue to gravity (-32 ft/s), a. How many seconds will it take for the toy to reach its maximum height?b. What is the toy's speed when it hits the ground?arrow_forwardA mass m is accelerated by a time-varying force e-Btv³, where v is its velocity. It also experiences a resistive force nv, where n is a constant, owing to its motion through the air. The equation of motion of the mass is therefore dv m dt eBv-ην .
