Kinetic of automobile

Mass m = 1,250 Kg;         V = 11 m/s

Formula: K.E = 1/2 mV²

               K.E = 1/2(1,250 Kg)(11 m/s)²

               K.E = 75,625 J

Speed required for insect to have the same kinetic energy as automobile

Mass of insect = 0.72 g convert to Kg   m = 7.2 x 10⁻⁴ Kg

K.E = 1/2 mV²  Derive V =?

 V = 2 K.E/m

 V = √2(75,625 J)/7.2 x 10⁻4 Kg

 V = √2.1 x 10⁸ m²/s²

 V = 14,491.34 m/s  (velocity of insect)

Volcanologists and seismologist are specialzed in what
antiseptic1488 [7]

The answer is:

They are specialized in geology and geophysics

1) Volcanologists are scientific researchers who study the properties of volcanoes and develop the science of predicting volcanic eruptions accurately.

- Volcanoes are the results of fissures in the earth's crust, from which magma, gases, rocks, and ashes can erupt.  


-Volcanic eruptions and their impact on the atmosphere are investigated by specialist geologists known as volcanologists.


A) Volcanologists are scientists who use a variety of sophisticated equipment to measure and analyze volcanic activity, lava, rock, ashes and gases as well as earthquakes caused by eruptions.


B) Also, they measure the magnitude and intensity of explosions, placing them on a scale from 1 to 8 [volcanic explosivity index].  


C)Volcanologists monitor both active and dormant volcanoes to try to predict eruptions and minimize adverse effects on people and their environment.


D)Also, they spend a lot of time collecting and analyzing samples of debris, rocks and other products from extinct volcanoes to gain a better understanding of the processes behind the volcanic activity and the impact former eruptions had in shaping the climate.


2) Seismologists are Earth scientists, specialized in geophysics, who study the genesis and the propagation of seismic waves in geological materials.


-Their research aims at interpreting the geological composition and structures of the Earth. In the case of earthquakes, seismologists evaluate the potential dangers and seek to minimize their impact through the improvement of construction standards.

During 57 seconds of use, 330 C of charge flow through a microwave oven. Compute the size of the electric current.
swat32

Answer:

5.78amps

Explanation:

Given data

Time t= 57 seconds

Charge Q= 330C

Current I= ??

The expression for the electric current is given as

Q= It

Substituting we have

330= I*57

I= 330/57

I=5.78 amps

Hence the current is 5.78amps
