When 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. given by h = HR 0.42, where R is the water depth ratio Green's 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 of water depth d, then the new height h of the wave given by R= D/d. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) Calculate the height of a tsunami wave in water feet deep if its height is 5 feet at its point of origin water 10,000 feet deep. ft (b) If water depth decreases by a third, the depth ratio R is increased by 1.5. How is the height of the tsunami wave affected? The new height of a tsunami wave is times the height before R is increased by 1.5.

Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could co…

Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a…
