Answer: poor construction of houses

Explanation:

Majority of the people that died in Iran were as a result of poor building methods coupled with the fact that there was lack of proper regulation.

California experienced a similar earthquake but due to safer construction methods, about three people died.

Due to population boom in Iran and house shortage, this resulted in builders building cheap houses which were not strong enough.

Answer:

I think you are looking for the velocity, so the answer is 38.5 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity is giving by displacement/time. North will be positive and South will be negative, George travels 750 meters then travels -250 meters his displacement is then 750 - 250 or 500 meters. Divide that by 13 seconds to get 38.5 m/s.

The ability to distinguish between acceleration and velocity will be critical to your understanding of many other concepts in th
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Object could only be moving with increasing speed.

Explanation:

Let us consider the general formula of acceleration:

a = (Vf - Vi)/t

Vf = Vi + at   -------- equation 1

where,

Vf = Final Velocity

Vi = Initial Velocity

a = acceleration

t = time

<u>FOR POSITIVE ACCELERATION:</u>

Vf = Vi + at

since, both acceleration and time are positive quantities. Hence, it means that the final velocity of the object shall be greater than the initial velocity of the object.

Vf > Vi

It clearly shows that if an object moves with positive acceleration. <u>It could only be moving with increasing speed.</u>

Solving the same equation for negative acceleration shows that the final velocity will be less than initial velocity and object will be moving with decreasing speed.

And for the constant velocity final and initial velocities are equal and thus, acceleration will be zero.

otez555 [7]
The rod transferred negatively charged particle to the metal sphere. The rod becomes less negatively charged than it was originally (originally it was charged to -21 nc, now it has -8, and -8>-21), so it must have moved 13 nc of negative charge to the sphere.
