<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>

A 5kg ball is on top of the school building at a height of 40m above the ground.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

A-Caclcuate the potential energy of the ball at that height

Explanation:

(a). Mass of the Body = 10 kg.

Height = 10 m.

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Using the Formula,Potential Energy = mgh

= 10 × 9.8 × 10 = 980 J.

(b). Now, By the law of the conservation of the Energy, Total amount of the energy of the system remains constant.

∴ Kinetic Energy before the body reaches the ground is equal to the Potential Energy at the height of 10 m.

∴ Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

(c). Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

Mass of the ball = 10 kg.

∵ K.E. = 1/2 × mv²

∴ 980 = 1/2 × 10 × v²

∴ v² = 980/5

⇒ v² = 196

∴ v = 14 m/s.

At high elevations or high latitudes, some of the water that falls on land does not immediately soak in , run off, evaporate or
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The water is stored in ice sheets and as snow

Explanation:

Temperature reduces with an increase in altitudes. The standard laps rate is 6.5°C per 1,000 m gained in elevation

At very high elevations, therefore,  the air is usually very cold such that when an elevation of 4,500 meters is reached at the equator, it is possible to observe snowfall and the water remain temporarily stored on the surface of the mountain as ice and snow

In solar thermal electric generation, the sun’s energy is concentrated by ___ to heat the fluid in a pipe that is used to genera
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

<u>Mirrors</u>

Explanation:

In Solar thermal power generation system, mirrors are used to collect and focus sunlight  onto a fluid pipe to produce high temperature required to generate electricity.

There are two main components: mirrors capture and focus light onto a receiver. The heat transfer fluid is circulated in the receiver. Steam is produced which is converted to mechanical energy in a turbine. It powers a generator and electricity is produced.
