7 0
Krakatau volcano ( Indonesia ) is well known for its catastrophic 1883 eruption. The result of this eruption was 36,000 deaths. This eruption has been assigned  a VEI ( Volcanic Explosivity Index ) of 6 ( or colossal ). VEI is a 0 to 8 index of increasing explosivity.  VEI of 6  means : a plume height over 25 km and a displacement volume : 10 to 100,000 km³. The total energy released during the eruption was equivalent to 200 megatons of TNT.
Answer: VEI of 6.

A 2100-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 5.00 m before coming into contact w
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

   f = 878,080 N

Explanation:

mass of pile driver (m) = 2100 kg

distance of pile driver to steel beam (s) = 5 m

depth of steel driven (d) = 12 cm = 0.12 m

acceleration due to gravity (g0 = 9.8 m/s^{2}

calculate the average force exerted on the pile driver by the beam.

  • from work done = force x distance
  • work done = change in potential energy of the pile driver
  • equating the two equations above we have

               force x distance = m x g x (s - d)

              f x 0.12 = 2100 x 9.8 x (5- (-0.12))

              d = - 0.12 because the steel beam went down at we are taking its  

              initial position to be an origin point which is 0

              f = ( 2100 x 9.8 x (5- (-0.12)) ) ÷ 0.12

                   f = 878,080 N

Pluto has a shape that is nearly round,and it orbits the sun,it has five known moons.why is it called a dwarf planet and not a p
s2008m [1.1K]

There are three things needed to be classified as a planet.

Pluto meets 2 of the 3.

The one it does not meet is it doesn’t “clear the neighborhood” which means a planet needs to be gravitationally dominant over all objects around it. Meaning smaller bodies ( asteroids) would either combine with the larger body making it bigger or pushing them away ( out of their orbit) so they do not collide with the larger body.
