Answer:

E=7.28\times 10^6\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a person, m = 84 kg

The person is standing at a top of Mt. Everest at an altitude of 8848 m

We need to find the gravitational potential energy of the person. We know that the gravitational potential energy is possessed due to the position of an object. It is given by :

E = mgh, g is the acceleration due to gravity

E=84\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 8848\ m\\\\E=7283673.6\ J\\\\E=7.28\times 10^6\ J

So, the gravitational potential energy of the person is 7.28\times 10^6\ J

After you enlarge a map, which one of the following scale remains correct?
9966 [12]

Answer:

None

Explanation:

An scale is the factor by which actual features on ground are enlarged or reduced for representing on a plane. There are different kinds of scales:

  • Verbal scale use of words to represent scale information on the map.  The distance or linear units are used for depicting this scale on the map.  For example: 1 inch = 1 Kilo meter.
  • Fractional scale uses the numbers or values for showing the scale instead of words. As the name says, it is represented using a fraction or ratio.  Example: 1: 10,000 or 1/10,000
  • In large scale more details are shown in a map, however, less area coverage will be shown in a single map as the scale is large and more details are given.  Example: 1:500
  • Small scale is exactly opposite to the large scale, less details are shown as magnification is not enough, however a large amount of area can be shown in a single map.  Example: 1:25,000
  • A graphic scale is a bar that has been calibrated to show map distances. On maps that have been reduced or enlarged the original ratio and written scales are incorrect, since the relationship between map distance and real world distance has been altered, graphic scale is enlarged or reduced to the same extent as the map, this makes it the right option.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Why is tornadoes hitting the east coast of the USA?
OLga [1]

Answer:

The outbreak of tornadoes that tore across the Gulf and the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday was unusual for two reasons. For one thing, the severe weather encompassed a significant swath of the country. For another, winter is the least likely time for tornadic thunderstorms.

Explanation:

The outbreak of tornadoes that tore across the Gulf and the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday was unusual for two reasons. For one thing, the severe weather encompassed a significant swath of the country. For another, winter is the least likely time for tornadic thunderstorms.

And yet tornadoes are an expected part of life in the United States—especially in the multi-state area known as Tornado Alley. (Florida, too, sees a disproportionately high number of tornadoes, because of its frequent thunderstorms.) The United States gets more tornadoes, by far, than any other place on the planet. It averages about 1,250 twisters a year. Canada, which sees about 100 tornadoes per year, is a “distant second,” according to the National Centers for Environmental Information.
