Answer:

Speed of the jet is U = 1170 miles/hr

Speed of the jet stream is V = 160 miles/hr

Explanation:

Let

The speed of the jet = U

The speed of the jet stream = V

Flying speed with the jet stream = U+V

Flying speed against the jet stream = U-V

Now we know that speed = distance / time

Now flying speed with jet stream, U+V = 10640 / 8

                                                                 = 1330 miles/hr   ------(1)

        flying speed against the jet stream, U-V = 6060 / 6

                                                                             = 1010 miles/hr  -----(2)

Therefore, speed of the jet stream,

subtract (2) from (1), we get

( U+V ) - ( U-V ) = 1330-1010

2V = 320

V = 160 miles/hr

Therefore the speed of the jet stream is V = 160 miles/hr

Now from (1), we know

U+V = 1330

U + 160 =1330

U = 1170 miles/hr

Therefore, speed of the jet is U = 1170 miles/hr

Volcanologists and seismologist are specialzed in what
antiseptic1488 [7]

The answer is:

They are specialized in geology and geophysics

1) Volcanologists are scientific researchers who study the properties of volcanoes and develop the science of predicting volcanic eruptions accurately.

- Volcanoes are the results of fissures in the earth's crust, from which magma, gases, rocks, and ashes can erupt.  


-Volcanic eruptions and their impact on the atmosphere are investigated by specialist geologists known as volcanologists.


A) Volcanologists are scientists who use a variety of sophisticated equipment to measure and analyze volcanic activity, lava, rock, ashes and gases as well as earthquakes caused by eruptions.


B) Also, they measure the magnitude and intensity of explosions, placing them on a scale from 1 to 8 [volcanic explosivity index].  


C)Volcanologists monitor both active and dormant volcanoes to try to predict eruptions and minimize adverse effects on people and their environment.


D)Also, they spend a lot of time collecting and analyzing samples of debris, rocks and other products from extinct volcanoes to gain a better understanding of the processes behind the volcanic activity and the impact former eruptions had in shaping the climate.


2) Seismologists are Earth scientists, specialized in geophysics, who study the genesis and the propagation of seismic waves in geological materials.


-Their research aims at interpreting the geological composition and structures of the Earth. In the case of earthquakes, seismologists evaluate the potential dangers and seek to minimize their impact through the improvement of construction standards.

ryzh [129]

Answer:

c. turn downward

Explanation:

From the information given:

To find the tendency of the sander;

We need to apply the right-hand rule torque; whereby we consider the direction of the flywheel, the direction at which the torque is acting, and the movement of the sander toward the right.

Since the flywheel of the sander is in counterclockwise movement, hence the torque direction will be outward placing on the wall. However, provided that the movement of the sander is toward the right, then there exists an opposite force that turns downward which showcases the tendency in the sander is downward.
