Answer:

Option B , 10-20%

Explanation:

If we look at the map we could see that majority of the coastal area of the United States is moderately eroding. This color is denoted by orange. Hence, one thing is sure that moderately eroding coastline comprises of more than 50% of the total coast line.  

Hence, option C cannot be correct.  

Now if we just look at the red colored coast line we could see that a considerable length of red coast can be seen which is any case is definitely more than 5%. Hence, the only option left is option B.

An 80- kg quarterback jumps straight up in the air right before throwing a 0.43-kg football horizontally at 15m/s . Sort the fol
torisob [31]

Answer:

1. The mass of the quarterback = known = 80 kg

2. The mass of the football = known = 0.43 kg

3. The horizontal velocity of quarterback before throwing the ball = known = 0

4. The horizontal velocity of football before being thrown = known = 0

5. The horizontal velocity of quarterback after throwing the ball, = unknown quantity and it can be calculated using the conservation of linear momentum.

6. The horizontal velocity of football after being thrown = known = 15 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the quarterback, m = 80 kg

Mass of the football, m' = 0.43 kg

Speed of the football, v' = 15 m/s

We need to sort the following quantities as known or unknown.

1. The mass of the quarterback = known = 80 kg

2. The mass of the football = known = 0.43 kg

3. The horizontal velocity of quarterback before throwing the ball = known = 0

4. The horizontal velocity of football before being thrown = known = 0

5. The horizontal velocity of quarterback after throwing the ball, = unknown quantity and it can be calculated using the conservation of linear momentum.

6. The horizontal velocity of football after being thrown = known = 15 m/s

A force is applied with a magnitude of 70 N at an angle of 50 degrees from the horizontal. What are the horizontal and vertical
inessss [21]

Answer:

Fy = 53.62 N

Fx ≈ 50 N

Explanation:

let Fx be the horizontal component of the applied force and Fy be the vertical component of the applied force then:

Fy = F×sin(∅)

    = (70)×sin(50°)

    =  53.62 N

Fx = F×cos(∅)

    = (70)×cos(50°)

    ≈ 50 N

A meter stick swinging from one end oscillates with a frequency f0. What would be the frequency, in terms of f0 , if the bottom
snow_lady [41]

To solve this problem we will proceed to define the Period of a stick, then we will define the frequency, which is the inverse of the period. We will compare the change suffered by the new length and replace that value. The Time period of meter stick is

T = 2\pi\sqrt{ \frac{L}{g}}

Here,

L = Length

g = Gravity

At the same time the frequency is

f = \frac{1}{T}

Therefore the frequency in Terms of the Period is

f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}

If bottom third were cut off then the new length is

L' = \frac{2}{3} L

Replacing this value at the new frequency we have that,

f ' = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{3g}{2L}}

f' = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}(\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}})

Finally,

\therefore f' = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}f_0
