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 nuclei is most stable based on its binding energy?
Anettt [7]
We have that the most stable nuclei are the ones with the highest average binding energy. We see that Nitrogen has a mass number of 15 and that in this region of the graph average binding energy is low. Silver and Gold are along a line where there is a constant decline in average binding energy; silver has more than gold. However, we see that at the start of this decline, there is Fe 56. This region has the elements with the highest average binding energy; Nickel with a mass number of 58 is right there and thus it is the most stable nucleus out of the listed ones.

The first law of thermodynamics relates the heat transfer into or out of a system to the change of internal and the work done on
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The heat transferred into the system is 183.5 J.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics relates the heat transfer into or out of a system to the change of internal and the work done on the system, through the following equations.

ΔU = Q - W

where;

ΔU  is the change in internal energy

Q is the heat transfer into the system

W is the work done by the system

Given;

ΔU = 155 J

W = 28.5 J

Q = ?

155 = Q - 28.5

Q = 155 + 28.5

Q = 183.5 J

Therefore, the heat transferred into the system is 183.5 J.

A e limb of mass 12kg falls straight down. If air resistance exerts 27 N of froce on the limb as it falls, what is the net force
Gelneren [198K]
During the falling down, two forces are present: gravitational force and air resistance.

So, the net force = mg - f = 12*9.8 - 27 = 90.6 N, the positive sign indicates the direction is pointing towards the center of the earth, which is the same as gravitational force
