Answer:

48 degress

Explanation:

An earthquake causes many different intensities of shaking in the area of the epicenter where it occurs. So the intensity of an earthquake will vary depending on where you are. Sometimes earthquakes are referred to by the maximum intensity they produce. In the United States, we use the Modified Mercalli Scale. Earthquake intensity is a ranking based on the observed effects of an earthquake in each particular place. Therefore, each earthquake produces a range of intensity values, ranging from highest in the epicenter area to zero at a distance from the epicenter.

During the period that the moon’s phases are changing from new to full, the moon is _____. waxing exhibiting retrograde motion w

Sindrei [870]

The answer that best fits the blank is the term WAXING. The moon is waxing whenever it reaches to the period that its phases are transitioning from new to full. The answer is the first option. This is when it is more that half is illuminated. Hope this helps.

Lynna [10]

Answer:

1- For the track B. The potential energy is the same for the two cars, but because of the slope of the track, the car B earn kinetic energy faster. The gravitation acceleration of the cars will be g•sinθ, and the angle of the track B will have a bigger value for sinθ

2- The conservation of energy applies because the roller coaster is a closed track. When a car climb the track, it earn GPE, which is given by mgh, when it get down in the track, it transform GPE in KE, which is given in 1/2mv².

Position of car (m) GPE KE GPE + KE

top (30m) 60000 0 60000

bottom (0m) 0 60000 60000

halfway down (15m) 30000 30000 60000

three-quarters way down 15000 45000 60000

The launch speed of a projectile is three times the speed it has at its maximum height.what is the elevation angle at launch?

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Given: a projectile of initial launch velocity(V) and launch angle ∅ and no air resistance. At the maximum height, the projectile would have a zero contribution of speed from the vertical component(Vy) Therefore, if we say Vx=Vcos∅ is the only speed the projectile has at the instant of maximum height then we can replace Vx with 1/5V and write 1/5V=Vcos∅. Solving for the the launch angle ∅, gives Inverse Cos(1/5)=78.5 degrees.
