Question:
In deepwater, tsunamis have a relatively small height (typically 2 m) and a very long period (typically 30 minutes). The amplitude becomes larger as they pile up when they reach shallow water. For a tsunami in deep water, calculate the energy per meter of wave front (in J/m). Compare this with the energy per meter width of a 2 m wide, 1500 kg automobile traveling at 120 km/h.
