There is a 33% chance of a large earthquake off the coast of Oregon.

The two main concerns of a large earthquake are Gas fires and Tsunami .

Explanation:

Everytime a large earthquake hits in any other part of the world, We find a small earthquake hitting off the coast of Oregon.

So scientists feel that as United States is prone to Earthquakes, the people have to be prepared for such eventualities.

The main concern for this large earthquake is, that it might lead to gas leakages at homes that can start a gas fire, which might spread. So people have to be careful and check  on any gas leakages.

Such large earthquakes can also lead to tsunami waves. So people have to take precautions and evacuate, if they are near the coastline.

A series L-R-C circuit consists of a 226 Ω resistor, a 27.4 mH inductor, a 11.55 µF capacitor, and an AC source of amplitude 15
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer: 363 Ω.

Explanation:

In a series AC circuit excited by a sinusoidal voltage source, the magnitude of the impedance is found to be as follows:

Z = √((R^2 )+〖(XL-XC)〗^2) (1)

In order to find the values for the inductive and capacitive reactances, as they depend on the frequency, we need first to find the voltage source frequency.

We are told that it has been set to 5.6 times the resonance frequency.

At resonance, the inductive and capacitive reactances are equal each other in magnitude, so from this relationship, we can find out the resonance frequency fo as follows:

fo  = 1/2π√LC = 286 Hz

So, we find f to be as follows:

f = 1,600 Hz

Replacing in the value of XL and Xc in (1), we can find the magnitude of the impedance Z at this frequency, as follows:

Z = 363 Ω

1.- Un barco recorre la distancia que separa Gran Canaria de Tenerife (90 km) en 6 horas. ¿Cuál es
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The speed is 15 km/h or 4.16 m/s.

Explanation:

A boat travels the distance that separates Gran Canaria from Tenerife (90 km) in 6 hours. Which  the speed of the boat in km / h? And in m / s?

Given that,

Distance, d = 90 km = 90000 m

Time, t = 6 hours = 21600 s

Speed = distance/time

v=\dfrac{90\ km}{6\ h}\\\\=15\ km/h

or

v=\dfrac{90000\ m}{21600\ s}\\\\=4.16\ m/s

So, the required speed is 15 km/h or 4.16 m/s.
