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 732 km and traveled a distance of 3650 km in 4.59 hours.
(a) what was the speed (in m/s) of the wave? for reference, the speed of a 747 jetliner is about 250 m/s. find the wave's:
(b) frequency and
(c) period

I'm kinda lost ! 1. when marilyn takes her pet dog for a walk, the dog walks at a veryconsistent pace of 0.55 m/s. draw a position-time graph to representmarilyn's dog walking the 19.8 m distance from the front of her house tothe nearest fire hydrant.2. both car a and car bleave school when a stopwatch reads zero. car atravels at a constant 75 km/h, and car b travels at a constant 85 km/h. a) draw a position-time graph showing the motion of both cars. howfar are the two cars from school when the stopwatch reads 2 hrs? calculate the distances and show them on your graph. b) both cars passed a gas station 120 km from the school. when dideach car pass the gas station? calculate the times and show themon your graph.3. the figure below shows the position-time graph showing a shopper'smovement up and down the aisle at a store. a) write a story describing the shopper's movements at the store. b) when does the shopper have a position of 6 m? c) how much time passes between when the shopper enters the aisleand when he gets to a position of 12 m? what is the shopper's averagevelocity between 37 s and 46 s?
