An 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Chile in 2010 killed more than 700 people. On January 12, 2010, a less powerful earthquake, measuring 7.0, killed more than 200,000 in Haiti. Why do you think this happened?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The main reason for this is the engineering and technology driven building construction in Chile than in Haiti

Explanation:

The main reason for this is the engineering and technology driven building construction in Chile than in Haiti. Most of the buildings in Haiti do not fit in the building byelaws norms as most of them were constructed in a short period of time with less engineering and at cheaper rate. While building in Chile were built adhering to the building codes and byelaws.

The base of the building is Chile were separated from each other using the “base isolation” technology and the were also more flexible as compared to the buildings in Haiti.  

The skyscrapers in Chile were constructed in a way that they can float on the arrangements of ball bearings and padded cylinders

The magnetic field of a bar magnet Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a Always points from north to south, whether we look outside the magnet or inside the magnet. b Always points from south to north, whether we look outside the magnet or inside the magnet. c Points from north to south outside the magnet, but south to north inside the magnet. d Points from south to north outside the magnet, but north to south inside the magnet.

Answers

Answer:

A: Always points from north to south, whether we look outside the magnet or inside the magnet

Explanation:

When we freely suspend a bar magnet, it's magnetic field will always rest in the north to south direction due to the fact that the Earth's magnetic south pole usually lies in the direction of the geographic north while the Earth's magnetic north pole usually lies in the direction of the geographic south.

Now, we all know that in magnets, like poles will repel and unlike poles will attract. What this now means is that the magnet will always point from the north to the south direction.

A factory has 1200 workers of which 720 are male and the rast are female what percent of workers are female​

Answers

Answer:

Percent of Female Workers = 40%

Explanation:

The percentage of the female workers in the given group of workers can be easily found by the following formula:

[tex]Percent\ of\ Female\ Workers = \frac{No.\ of\ Female\ Workers}{Total\ No.\ of\ Workers}\ x\ 100\%[/tex]

where,

Total No. of Workers = 1200

No. of Female Workers = Total Workers - No. of Male Workers

No. of Female Workers = 1200 - 720 = 480

Therefore,

[tex]Percent\ of\ Female\ Workers = \frac{480}{1200}\ x\ 100\%[/tex]

Percent of Female Workers = 40%

Qs 5 pleaseeee help!!!

Answers

Answer:

Ok, first is important that you understand how the heat radiation works.

All the objects that have some heat energy in them, radiate some of that energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.

Particularly, the Sun radiates a lot of energy (at the point that if you step under the sunlight, you can feel on your skin the heat that comes from the sun, this is due to radiation).

Now, suppose that you have a thin coat of water over you, then the material that gets impacted by that radiation will be the water and not you, and then the energy is dissipated (some of the energy goes to your body and some go to the air)

This is one way in which spraying water over themselves helps the elephants to keep them cool.

Another way in which heat can be transferred is by conduction.

When you have a hot object and a cool object, and you put them together (so the objects touch each other), the heat will flow from the hotter object to the cooler object until both objects have the same temperature.

Then if the elephant body temperature is larger than the temperature of the water that the elephant sprays over his body, when the water touches the body some of the heat in the elephant body will be transferred to the coat of water, and in this way, the temperature of the elephant's body decreases.

These are the two ways we wanted to find.

heena wants to measure the volume of a ball that is 24 cm across. How should she set up her equation? v = one-third pi 24 squared (12). v = one-third p 12 squared (24). v = four-thirds pi 24 cubed. v = four-thirds pi 12 cubed.

Answers

Answer:

v = four-thirds pi 12 cubed.

Explanation:

A ball has a spherical shape. The volume of a spherical shape can be calculated using the following formula:

[tex]V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3[/tex]

where,

V = Volume of Ball = ?

d = diameter of the ball = length across the ball = 24 cm

r = radius of ball = d/2 = 24 cm/2 = 12 cm

Therefore,

[tex]V = \frac{4}{3}\pi (12)^3[/tex]

Hence, the correct answer is:

v = four-thirds pi 12 cubed.

A student shakes a rope such that 20 complete vibrations are made in 4.00 seconds. Determine the vibrational frequency of the rope, along with the corresponding unit.

Answers

Answer:

The vibrational frequency of the rope is 5 Hz.

Explanation:

Given;

number of complete oscillation of the rope, n = 20

time taken to make the oscillations, t = 4.00 s

The vibrational frequency of the rope is calculated as follows;

[tex]Frequency = \frac{number \ of \ complete \ vibrations}{time \ taken} \\\\Frequency = \frac{20 }{4 \ s} \\\\Frequency = 5 \ Hz[/tex]

Therefore, the vibrational frequency of the rope is 5 Hz.

An effect analogous to two-slit interference can occur with sound waves, instead of light. In an open field, two speakers placed 1.19 m apart are powered by the same function generator producing sine waves at 1,163 Hz frequency. Assume that the speed of sound is 340 m/s. A student walks along a line 12.5 m away and parallel to the line from one speaker to the other speakers. She hears an alternating pattern of loud and quiet, due to constructive and destructive interference. What is the distance between the central maximum and the first maximum (loud) position along this line in m

Answers

Answer:

3.04 m

Explanation:

The interference by diffraction of waves is noticeable only when the dimension of the opening through which the wave is passing through is comparable to the wavelength of the passing wave.

It is given that :

Distance between two speakers, d = 1.19 m

Speed of sound,  v = 340 m/s

The frequency is f = 1163 Hz

Distance the student walk along the line of the speaker, D = 12.5 m

We know the wavelength of the sound produced by the speakers is given by :

[tex]$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$[/tex]

  [tex]$=\frac{340}{1163}$[/tex]

  = 0.29 m

Now the distance between the central maximum and the first maximum position is given by :

[tex]$y=\frac{\lambda D}{d}$[/tex]

  [tex]$=\frac{0.29 \times 12.5}{1.19}$[/tex]

 = 3.04 m

A)

B)

C)
55°
D)
35°

Answers

Answer:

55 degrees

Explanation:

A ray of light strikes a plane mirror at an angle of incidence. The angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray is 70°. The correct option is A.

What is law of reflection?

The law states that angle of incidence of the incident ray is equal to the angle of reflection through a plane surface.

Here, angle of incidence of light on a plane mirror is 35°, then the angle of reflection will also be 35°.

i = r = 35°

Then the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray will be

i +r = 35 + 35 =70°

Thus, the correct option is A.

Help please:Calculate the mechanical energy of a bird flying at a speed of 10 m / s at an altitude of 15 m. If its mass is 150 g and the influence of gravitational force is 9.81 m / s²?​

Answers

Mass of the bird(m) = 150 g = 0.15 kg

Speed (v) = 10 m/s

Kinetic Energy = [tex]\frac{1}{2}m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} 0.15 (10)^{2}[/tex] = 7.5 J

Altitude (h) = 15 m

Gravitational Potential Energy = (0.15)(9.81)(15) = 22.0725 J

Mechanical Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy = 7.5 + 22.0725

= 29.5725 J
