In the United States, where can volcanoes be found?

1 answer:

7 0

<span>The volcanoes of USA are located along the west coast, at the subduction of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates. During the 20th century there were only two eruptions in continental USA; Lassen in 1915, and Mt St Helens in 1980. Alaska and Hawaii contain currently active volcanoes. hope this helps:)</span>

19) A child on a sled starts from rest at the top of a 15.0° slope. If the trip to the bottom takes 15.2 s,

sveticcg [70]

Answer: 288.8 m

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$t=15.2 s$ is the time it takes to the child to reach the bottom of the slope

$V_{o}=0$ is the initial velocity (the child started from rest)

$\theta=15\°$ is the angle of the slope

$d$ is the length of the slope

Now, the Force exerted on the sled along the ramp is:

$F=ma$ (1)

Where $m$ is the mass of the sled and $a$ its acceleration

In addition, if we draw a free body diagram of this sled, the force along the ramp will be:

$F=mg sin \theta$ (2)

Where $g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Then:

$ma=mg sin \theta$ (3)

Finding $a$ :

$a=g sin \theta$ (4)

$a=9.8 m/s^{2} sin(15\°)$ (5)

$a=2.5 m/s^{2}$ (6)

Now, we will use the following kinematic equations to find $d$ :

$V=V_{o}+at$ (7)

$V^{2}=V_{o}^{2}+2ad$ (8)

Where $V$ is the final velocity

Finding $V$ from (7):

$V=at=(2.5 m/s^{2})(15.2 s)$ (9)

$V=38 m/s$ (10)

Substituting (10) in (8):

$(38 m/s)^{2}=2(2.5 m/s^{2})d$ (11)

Finding $d$ :

$d=288.8 m$

How can a small spark start a huge explosion? using electric forces and molecules

OLga [1]

Answer:

Small sparks can lead to huge explosion if they are left unattended.

Explanation:

Small sparks are not harmful but if these sparks happen near some hazardous material or object then it could lead to heavy explosion. If there is some chemical substance near the spark or there are magnetic lines which can explode the spark then these minor sparks could result in heavy disastrous explosion.

Compared with those who live in the lowlands, people who live in the Southeast highlands experience

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The territory of Scotland was divided into two parts -- the highlands and the lowlands.

Explanation:

The people living in places of high altitudes are called highlanders. These high altitude places are called high lands and places with low elevations or altitudes are called the low lands. There are many differences between the two places and people experiences different difficulties in these places.

Some of the differences are :

The life of the people living in high lands are much more tougher than those living in the low lands. The highlanders have to work more hard than lowlanders.

The agricultural activities are more flourished in the low lands than in the high lands.

The low lands are more populated and highly industrialized than the high lands. Iron and steel industry, metal working industry and agriculture are some of the main industries of lowlands. They are the land of the Scottish nation.
