A series of ocean waves. 240 m from to crest and moving past an a rate of per secendhas what speed?
On December 26, 2004, a great earthquake occurredoff the coast of Sumatra and triggered immense waves (tsunami) thatkilled more than 200,000 people. Satellites observing these waves fromspace measured 800 km from one wave crest to the next and a periodbetween waves of 1.0 hour. What was the speed of these waves in m>sand in km/h? Does your answer help you understand why the wavescaused such devastation?

- An earthquake emits both S-waves and P-waves which travel at different speeds through the Earth. A P-wave travels at 9 000 m/s and an S-wave travels at 5 000 m/s.

- (a) Seismographs measure the arrival times of earthquakes with a precision of 0.100 s. To get the distance to the epicenter of the quake, they compare the arrival times of S- and P-waves, which travel at different speeds. If S- and P-waves travel at 4.00 and 7.20 km/s, respectively, in the region considered, how precisely can the distance to the source of the earthquake be determined? (b) Seismic waves from underground detonations of nuclear bombs can be used to locate the test site and detect violations of test bans. Discuss whether your answer to (a) implies a serious limit to such detection. (Note also that the uncertainty is greater if there is an uncertainty in the propagation speeds of the S- and P-waves.)arrow_forwardAnswer the problem A lighting is observed, followed by thunder 2.55 seconds later.

What is their frequency?arrow_forwardParcels of air (small volumes of air) in a stable atmosphere (where the temperature increases with height) can oscillate up and down, due to the restoring force provided by the buoyancy of the air parcel. The frequency of the oscillations are a measure of the stability of the atmosphere. Assuming that the acceleration of an air parcel can be modeled as 2zt2=g(z)0zz , prove that z=z0etN2 is a solution, where N is known as the Brunt-Väisälä frequency. Note that in a stable atmosphere, the density decreases with height and parcel oscillates up and down.arrow_forward
