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 mass-spring system has k = 56.8 N/m and m = 0.46 kg.
andriy [413]

Answer:

A. \omega=11.1121\ rad.s^{-1}

B. f=1.7685\ Hz

C. T=0.5654\ s

Explanation:

Given:

  • spring constant, k=56.8\ N.m^{-1}
  • mass attached, m=0.46\ kg

A)

for a spring-mass system the frequency is given as:

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{56.8}{0.46}}

\omega=11.1121\ rad.s^{-1}

B)

frequency is given as:

f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}

f=\frac{11.1121}{2\pi}

f=1.7685\ Hz

C)

Time period of a simple harmonic motion is given as:

T=\frac{1}{f}

T=0.5654\ s
