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.

What two factors affect the rate of acceleration of an object?
Masja [62]

For help with this answer, we look to Newton's second law of motion:

     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Since the question seems to focus on acceleration, let's get
'acceleration' all alone on one side of the equation, so we can
really see what's going on.

Here's the equation again:

                                                 Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by 'mass',
and we have:                            Acceleration = (force) / (mass) .

Now the answer jumps out at us:  The rate of acceleration of an object
is determined by the object's mass and by the strength of the net force
acting on the object.

A student drops a rock from a bridge to the water 12.7 m below. with what speed does the rock strike the water? the acceleration
kolezko [41]

The rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

The speed by which rock hit the water is calculated by the formula

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2*9.8*12.7}

v=15.78 m/sec

Hence, the rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

PLEASE HELP!
Anna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

At constant pressure , work done by gas = P x ΔV where P is pressure and ΔV is change in volume

ΔV = 9.2 - 5.6 = 3.6 L

3.6 L = 3.6 x 10⁻³ m³

ΔV = 3.6 x 10⁻³ m³

P = 3.7 x 10³ Pa

So work done

= 3.7 x 10³ x 3.6 x 10⁻³ J

= 13.32 J .

( c ) is the answer , because work is done by the gas so it will be positive.
