The tsunami that hit japan in march of 2011 illustrates which of the following points? a. most countries are unprepared for tsunamis. b. tsunamis can cause many kinds of destruction. c. more people are killed by tsunamis than earthquakes each year. d. it is rare that modern nations need to be concerned about tsunamis .

Ablock having mass m slides down an inclined plane. the force of friction between the block and the inclined plane is f, the block's weight is m g, and the normal force is n. (a) draw a free – body force diagram showing the forces acting on the block. (b) write down all relevant newton’s equations for a given situation.

Calculate the first and second velocities of the car with four washers attached to the pulley, using the formulas v1 = 0.25 m / t1 , and v2 = 0.25 m / (t2 – t1) where t1 and t2 are the average times the car took to reach the 0.25 and the 0.50 meter marks. record these velocities, to two decimal places, in table e.

It may seem strange that the selected velocity does not depend on either the mass or the charge of the particle. (for example, would the velocity of a neutral particle be selected by passage through this device? ) the explanation of this is that the mass and the charge control the resolution of the device--particles with the wrong velocity will be accelerated away from the straight line and will not pass through the exit slit. if the acceleration depends strongly on the velocity, then particles with just slightly wrong velocities will feel a substantial transverse acceleration and will not exit the selector. because the acc
