that is in the "Severely Eroding" category?
*Remember, these are estimates and should fall within an acceptable range.

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.

You set a tuning fork into vibration at a frequency of 723 Hz and then drop it off the roof of the Physics building where the ac
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Original Frequency f=723\ Hz

apparent Frequency f'=697\ Hz

There is change in frequency whenever source move relative to the observer.

From Doppler effect we can write as

f'=f\cdot \frac{v-v_o}{v+v_s}

where  

f'=apparent frequency  

v=velocity of sound in the given media

v_s=velocity of source

v_0=velocity of observer  

here v_0=0

697=723\cdot (\frac{343-0}{343+v_s})

v_s=(\frac{f}{f'}-1)v

v_s=(\frac{723}{697}-1)\cdot 343

v_s=12.79\approx 12.8\ m/s

i.e.fork acquired a velocity of 12.8 m/s

distance traveled by fork is given by

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

v_s^2-0=2\times 9.8\times s

s=\frac{12.8^2}{2\times 9.8}

s=8.35\ m

Haley is trying to pull an object upward. The below forces are acting on the object.
ra1l [238]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a reference system.

Suppose that the positive direction of the reference system is upward.

We have that the sum of forces in the vertical axis is given by:

Fy = Fp - Fg

Substituting values:

Fy = 5500 - 6000

Fy = - 500

The negative sign means that the direction of the force with respect to the defined coordinate system is downward.

Answer:

The net force is:

↓ 500N

The tools to distinguish the thickness of two objects of thickness of 1.92mm and the other with thickness of 1.93mm is ?
melomori [17]

Answer:

the instrument that gives this precision is the micrometer screw

Explanation:

The high precision measurements of small parts are the general vernier and the micrometer screw.

In these two instruments the same principle is used: there is a fixed rule and a mobile one that increases precision.

Let's analyze the absolute error or precision of each instrument

* For the vernier, the precision of the fixed rule is 1 mm and there are 20 divisions (the most common); therefore the precision of the instrument is

            Δx = 1 mm / 20

            Δx = 0.05 mm

* For the micrometer screw, the precision of the fida rule is 0.5 mm and the number of divisions is 50, therefore the precision of the screw is

            Δx = 0.5mm / 50

            Δx = 0.01 mm

consequently the instrument that gives this precision is the micrometer screw
