Answer:

Researching a little bit, Nick Cannon is a rapper, comedian and record producer, none of his career choices include skydiving as a regular job-hazard activity.

In the eyes of the insurance company, this activity is categorized as a Risk, not only a life threatening risk, but a monetary risk.

When the company covered Nick, they probably didn't care whether or not he would perform a set, or sing a new song, etc., but in skydiving, Nick would be putting himself, and the insurance company, at risk.

If he happened to get injured, the company would be the one covering the hospital's bills, and potentially losing income, that when compared to Nick's income, would not be worth it, he would become an expensive asset.

Yet this is exactly the reason why Nick has an insurance, so he could transfer risk, or the chance of loss, to another party. The Company is thinking on managing and balancing responsibility and risk, Nick in the transfer of risk. The company would like to avoid it to prevent having to lose income.

In which one(s) of the following situations will there be an INCREASE in Kinetic Energy? Group of answer choices A block slides

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The Kinetic Energy INCREASE in the following situations:

a)A block slides down a frictionless incline:

e)A merry go round rotates faster due to the push by a person.

Explanation:

The energy kinetics is proportional to the square of the velocity:

$E_k=1/2*mv^2$

We study the cases:

a)A block slides down a frictionless incline:

The gravity made a positive work and the box get a extra velocity, then the kinetics energy INCREASE

b)A box is pulled across a rough floor at constant speed:

The magnitude of the velocity does not change, so the kinetics energy does not change as well

c)A stone at the end of a string is whirled in a horizontal circle at constant speed:

The magnitude of the velocity does not change, so the kinetics energy does not change as well

d)A projectile approaches its maximum height:

If the projectile approaches its maximum height, its velocity approaches to zero. Then the kinetics Energy DECREASE

e)A merry go round rotates faster due to the push by a person.

Thanks to the push, the magnitude of the velocity INCREASE, so the kinetics energy INCREASE as well

For a specific volume of 0.2 m3/kg, find the quality of steam if the absolute pressure is (a) 40 kPa and (b) 630 kPa. What is th

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

$x=0.0498$

$x'=0.659$

Explanation:

Specific Volume $V=0.2m_3/kg$

Absolute Pressure (a) $P_a= 40kpa$

Giving

$T_a=75.87$

$v_f=1.265*10^{-3}m^3/kg$

$v_g=3.993m^3/kg$

(b) $P_a= 630kpa$

Giving

$T_b=160.13C$

$v_f'=1.10282*10^{-3} m^3/kg$

$v_g'=0.30286 m^3/kg$

(a)

Generally the equation for quality of Steam X is mathematically given by

$x=\frac{v-v_f}{v_g-v_f}$

$x=\frac{0.2-1.0265*10^{-3}}{3.993-1.0265*10^{-3}}$

$x=0.0498$

(b)

Generally the equation for quality of Steam X is mathematically given by

$x'=\frac{v-v_f'}{v_g'-v_f'}$

$x'=\frac{0.2-1.10*10^{-3}}{3.30-1.1*10^{-3}}$

$x'=0.659$

What is the general relationship between earthquake epicenters and volcano positions along the Pacific coast of Mexico and Centr

yanalaym [24]

Geographically throughout this area of Mexico, Central America Caribbean is located the Cocos plate. This area is scientifically known as the Central American subduction zone.

In order for a volcano to form, there is usually a clash between the technical plates that generates the elevation of the ground and the connection with ducts that release the magma from the earth. If this entire area is a subduction area, it will also be a land stress release area where volcano lines will be formed, that is, it is a convergent plate boundary area
