Volcanologists and seismologist are specialzed in what

antiseptic1488 [7]

The answer is:

They are specialized in geology and geophysics

1) Volcanologists are scientific researchers who study the properties of volcanoes and develop the science of predicting volcanic eruptions accurately.

- Volcanoes are the results of fissures in the earth's crust, from which magma, gases, rocks, and ashes can erupt.

-Volcanic eruptions and their impact on the atmosphere are investigated by specialist geologists known as volcanologists.

A) Volcanologists are scientists who use a variety of sophisticated equipment to measure and analyze volcanic activity, lava, rock, ashes and gases as well as earthquakes caused by eruptions.

B) Also, they measure the magnitude and intensity of explosions, placing them on a scale from 1 to 8 [volcanic explosivity index].

C)Volcanologists monitor both active and dormant volcanoes to try to predict eruptions and minimize adverse effects on people and their environment.

D)Also, they spend a lot of time collecting and analyzing samples of debris, rocks and other products from extinct volcanoes to gain a better understanding of the processes behind the volcanic activity and the impact former eruptions had in shaping the climate.

2) Seismologists are Earth scientists, specialized in geophysics, who study the genesis and the propagation of seismic waves in geological materials.

-Their research aims at interpreting the geological composition and structures of the Earth. In the case of earthquakes, seismologists evaluate the potential dangers and seek to minimize their impact through the improvement of construction standards.

1) Average speed

2) Displacement

Explanation:

1)

Speed is a scalar quantity which gives a measure of how fast a body is moving. It is equal to the ratio between the distance travelled by an object and the time taken to cover that distance:

$speed = \frac{d}{\Delta t}$

where

d is the distance covered

$\Delta t$ is the time taken

It is important to note that being a scalar, speed does not have any direction. Moreover, distance is also a scalar quantity, which corresponds to the total length of the path covered by the object, regardless on the direction taken.

So, the equation "travelled distance/elapsed time" corresponds to the average speed. (where the term average refers to the fact we are not measuring the speed at a specific instant in time, but on a certain time interval $\Delta t$ .

2)

Velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both a magnitude and a direction.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by:

$velocity=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta x$ is the change in position (or displacement) of the object

$\Delta t$ is the time taken

And the direction of the velocity corresponds to the direction of the displacement.

We must note that while distance does not depend on the direction, displacement does. In fact, displacement measures the difference between the initial and final position of the object.

Therefore, the equation "change in position / elapsed time" is equal to the average velocity.

Question 4 - If Angelica starts out at 30m/s, and in 16 s speeds up to 84 m/s, what is her acceleration?

Triss [41]

Answer:

C. $3.375 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object can be found using the equation:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time it takes for the velocity to change from u to v

In this problem:

u = 30 m/s is the initial velocity of Angelica

v = 84 m/s is the final velocity

t is the time

Substituting into the equation, we find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{84-30}{16}=3.375 m/s^2$

Two objects, m1 = 0.6 kg and m2 = 4.4 kg undergo a one-dimensional head-on collision

Sidana [21]

a) The velocity after the collision.is 11.456 m/s.

b) The kinetic energy lost due to the collision is 44.564 J.

<h3>What is conservation of momentum principle?</h3>

When two bodies of different masses move together each other and have head on collision, they travel to same or different direction after collision.

The external force is not acting here, so the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum. For inelastic collision, final velocity is the common velocity for both the bodies.

m₁u₁ +m₂u₂ =(m₁ +m₂) v

Given are the two objects, m1 = 0.6 kg and m2 = 4.4 kg undergo a one-dimensional head-on collision. Their initial velocities along the one-dimension path are vi1 = 32.4 m/s [right] and vi2 = 8.6 m/s [left].

(a) Substitute the values, then the final velocity will be

0.6 x32.4 +4.4 x 8.6 = (0.6+4.4)v

v = 11.456 m/s

Thus, the velocity after collision is 11.456 m/s.

(b) Kinetic energy lost due to collision will be the difference between the kinetic energy before and after collision.

= [1/2m₁u₁² +1/2m₂u₂² ] - [1/2(m₁ +m₂) v²]

Substitute the value, we have

= [1/2 x 0.6 x32.4² + 1/2 x4.4 x 8.6²] - [1/2 x(0.6+4.4)11.456²]

= 44.564 J

Thus, the kinetic energy lost due to the collision is 44.564 J.
