There is a 33% chance of a large earthquake off the coast of Oregon.
The two main concerns of a large earthquake are Gas fires and Tsunami .
Explanation:
Everytime a large earthquake hits in any other part of the world, We find a small earthquake hitting off the coast of Oregon.
So scientists feel that as United States is prone to Earthquakes, the people have to be prepared for such eventualities.
The main concern for this large earthquake is, that it might lead to gas leakages at homes that can start a gas fire, which might spread. So people have to be careful and check on any gas leakages.
Such large earthquakes can also lead to tsunami waves. So people have to take precautions and evacuate, if they are near the coastline.
Answer: 
Explanation:
When a number is written in scientific notation (representing the number using powers of base ten) it is expressed so that it contains a digit in the place of the units and all other digits after the decimal point, multiplied by the respective exponent.
Then, the significant figures (or significant digits) will be the digits that are before the power of ten.
Now, in the case of the number 299,792,458 if we want to write it with three significant digits, we have to write it in scientific notation as:
Answer:
Explanation:
The force of kinetic friction on the block is defined as:
Where 
is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface and N is the normal force, which is always perpendicular to the surface that the object contacts. So, according to the free body diagram of the block, we have:
Replacing this in the first equation and solving for :
It's 100% false, it wastes a ton (sorry for the bad pun!) of gas.
Elastic Potential Energy because the elasticity in the string stores up the energy.
