The asteroid 2007 VK184 has one chance in 2940 of hitting the Earth between the years 2048 and 2057. The asteroid is 130 meters

in diameter or about half the size of Apophis. Assuming that an impact could cause the death of 1,000,000 people the average death rate for this type of event is closest to

Answer:

 The average death rate for this type of event is closest to 350 people per event.

Explanation:

Between the years 2048 and 2057

Is 10 years. Since there is only one chance of event between these years, there is no point to consider it.

The total number of events = 2940 chances.

average death rate per event = total number of dead people divided by total number of events of occurrence.

1000000/2940 = 340.134

The average death rate for this type of event is therefore closest to 350 people per event

Which of the following would be used in luminosity calculations?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

1) joule

2) kgm^{2}/s^{2}

3) 10\%

Explanation:

1) Luminosity is the <u>amount of light emitted</u> (measured in Joule) by an object in a unit of<u> time</u> (measured in seconds). Hence in SI units luminosity is expressed as joules per second (\frac{J}{s}), which is equal to Watts (W).

This amount of light emitted is also called radiated electromagnetic power, and when this is measured in relation with time, the result is also called radiant power emitted by a light-emitting object.

Therefore, if we want to calculate luminosity the Joule as a unit will be used.

2) Work W is expressed as force  F multiplied by the distane  d :

W=F.d

Where force has units of  kgm/s^{2} and distance units of m.

If we input the units we will have:

W=(kgm/s^{2})(m)

W=kgm^{2}/s^{2}  This is 1Joule (1 J) in the SI system, which is also equal to 1 Nm

3) The formula to calculate the percent error is:

\% error=\frac{|V_{exp}-V_{acc}|}{V_{acc}} 100\%

Where:

V_{exp}=7.34 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2} is the experimental value

V_{acc}=6.67 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2} is the accepted value

\% error=\frac{|7.34 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}-6.67 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}|}{6.67 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}} 100\%

\% error=10.04\% \approx 10\% This is the percent error

What does a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse have in common

An owl weighing 40N is sitting in a tree waiting to dive down to catch a mouse. If the owl's potential energy is 800 J with resp
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

<em>h = 20 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is the energy stored in an object due to its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.

It can be calculated with the equation:

U=m.g.h

Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or 9.8 m/s^2.

The weight of an object of mass m is:

W = m.g

Thus, the GPE is:

U=W.h

Solving for h:

\displaystyle h=\frac{U}{W}

The weight of the owl is W=40 N and its GPE is U=800 J.

\displaystyle h=\frac{800}{40}=20

h = 20 m
