maksim [4K]

Answer:

Microlensing.

Explanation:

This techniques is called Microlensing.

Microlensing is a method of gravitational lensing where light from a backdrop point of origin is curved to develop distorted, numerous and/or lightened images by the gravity field of a foreground lens.

This method is very effective in discovering planets that are far-far from earth.It is actually an astronomical effect that was predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.

The seismic activity density of a region is the ratio of the number of earthquakes during a given time span to the land area aff
Natalija [7]

Answer:

0.0059

Explanation:

According to the question the seismic activity density is given by

\text{Seismic activity density}=\frac{\text{Number of Earthquakes over a given time span}}{\text{The land area affected}}

Here,

Number of Earthquakes over a given time span = 424

The land area affected = 71300 mi²

So,

\text{Seismic activity density}=\frac{424}{71300}\\\Rightarrow \text{Seismic activity density}=0.0059

The seismic activity density is 0.0059

a body is dropped from a height of 240m. (i)How long does it take to reach the ground. (ii) What is the velocity with which it w
kramer

Answer:

7.0 s, 69 m/s

Explanation:

If we take down to be positive, then the time to reach the ground is:

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

240 m = (0 m) + (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 7.0 seconds

The final velocity is:

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2(9.8 m/s²) (240 m - 0 m)

v = 69 m/s
