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.

A 300 gg ball on a 70-cmcm-long string is swung in a vertical circle about a point 200 cmcm above the floor. The string suddenly
Ratling [72]

Answer:

the   tension in the string an instant before it broke = 34 N

Explanation:

Given that :

mass of the ball m = 300 g = 0.300 kg

length of the string r = 70 cm = 0.7 m

At highest point, law of conservation of energy can be expressed as :

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgh\\\\v = \sqrt{2gh}\\\\v = \sqrt{2*(9.8 \  m/s^2)*(6.00 \ m - 2.00 \ m)}\\\\

v = 8.854 \ m/s

The tension in the string is:

T = \frac{mv^2}{r}\\\\T = \frac{(0.300 \ kg)*(8.854 \ m/s^2)}{0.70 \ m}\\\\T = 33.59 N\\\\T = 34 \ N

Thus, the   tension in the string an instant before it broke = 34 N

A frictionless pulley used to lift 8000N of concrete. What is the minimum effort required to raise the block
rusak2 [61]

Answer: 8000N

Explanation: since it is frictionless that means it has 100% efficiency therefore the mechanical advantage is 1 meaning the load equals to the effort

A gas is collected from a radioactive material; upon inspection, the gas is identified as helium. the presence of the helium ind
Flura [38]
The presence of helium gas indicates the radioactive sample is most likely decaying by α-decay, or alpha decay. α-decay is the type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits α particles. α particles are Helium nuclei. So the correct answer would be α-decay.
