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

A body is placed on a rough inclined plane. Why does the frictional force decrease with the increase of angle of inclination
kondor19780726 [428]
The frictional force is directly proportional to the force that is perpendicular on the surface.

When the body is placed on a horizontal level with zero inclination, the only force acting on the body is the gravitational force which always pulls the body down. The gravitational force, in this case, is the perpendicular force to the surface. Accordingly, this entire force is used to generate friction

Now as the inclination of the surface increases, the gravitational force is no longer the perpendicular force of the body, its value decreases, which means only a part is used to generate frictional force. Consequently, frictional force decreases.

When the inclination reaches 90 degrees, the gravitational force does not act along the normal and accordingly, no friction force is generated.

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
