<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>Away from the focus</em>

Seismic waves carry energy from an earthquake <em><u>away from the focus</u></em>, through earth's interior and across the surface.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>When an earthquake occurs energy is produced and is transmitted or released in form of a seismic waves.</u></em> Seismic waves are types of waves which results from an earthquake,<em><u> they are vibrations that move through the earth carrying energy</u></em> that has been released when an earthquake occurs.
  • The <u><em>focus is the point at which a rock that is under stress breaks and triggers and earthquake</em></u>. Seismic waves carry the energy released during an earthquake<em><u> away from the focus</u></em> through the earth in all directions.

Assume it takes 5.00 minutes to fill a 50.0-gal gasoline tank. (1 U.S. gal = 231 in.3).
dolphi86 [110]

               (50 gal / 5 min) x (.0037854 m³/gal) x (1 min / 60 sec)

         =    (50 · 0.0037854 · 1) / (5 · 60)          m³/sec

         =                  0.000631  m³/sec

An 80.0 kg skier slides down a hill shaped as shown. Assume
umka21 [38]

The height above the ground from where the skier start is 11.5 m.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

The height above the ground from where the skier start is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy as shown below;

P.E = K.E

mgh = ¹/₂mv²

gh = ¹/₂v²

h = \frac{v^2}{2g} \\\\h = \frac{15^2}{2 \times 9.8} \\\\h = 11.5 \ m

Thus, the height above the ground from where the skier start is 11.5 m.

Class characteristics serve as corroboration for other, more subjective pieces of evidence in a courtroom (like witness testimon
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Class characteristics can be define as the features which are common to the group of objects. Like the make, model, label of the manufacturing company, design, shape and form. The individual characteristics can be define as the features which develop on the object or any other article with it's wear and use. Like tear, cuts, malformation and deposition of dust, dirt, and mud. The individual characteristic indicate towards the ownership of article or evidence to a particular person.

The class characteristics can only support the possibility of the evidence exactly alike that of the evidence found at the scene of crime. But the individual characteristics can directly link the evidence with the cause of crime. Hence, will be useful to prove that a crime has taken place in the court of law.

An airplane flies with a velocity of 750. kilometers
viktelen [127]

Answer:

650 km/hr

Explanation:

Draw a right triangle from (0.0) (Point A) down 30 degrees and to the right for a length of 750 (Point B).  Then draw a line from B up to the x axis to make a right angle (Point C).  Use the cosine function to find line AC, the vector portion of AB that lies of the x (East) axis.  Cosine(30)= Adjacent/Hypotenuse.

Cos(30) = AC/750

750*(cos(30)) = AC

AC = 649.5 km/hr

An electric company charges $9.55 per month plus $0.14 per? kilowatt-hour (kwh) for the first 250 kwh used per month and $0.03 p
storchak [24]
$34.75 per month

It is a trick question at the end because it says that anything over 250 kwh is $0.03. Although, you are only calculating for 180 kwh and the monthly charge.
