This type of risk puts you in immediate danger of a bad outcome because multiple risks are present at the same time.

What should you do immediately if a boat motor catches fire?

olganol [36]

If a boat motor catches fire, you should immediately shut off the fuel supply, and try to put out the fire with an extinguisher. It is very important to have fully charged fire extinguishers on hand. As soon as you notice the fire activate the extinguisher and do not panic. In order to prevent fire remember to c<span>lean the bilges often and maintain proper gear stowage, make sure short-tie cables are properly connected...</span>

slava [35]

<h2>So, the correct answers are:</h2>

Travels in longitudinal waves

Travels most slowly through a gas

Speeds up when temperature is increased

Is caused by vibration

Explanation for correct answers:

Yes, it does travel in longitudinal waves

Yes, sounds weird, but travels faster in the water

Yes, does speed up when temperature is increased

And yes, Is caused by vibration.

<h2>Wrong answer is:</h2>

Can travel through a vacuum

Explanation for wrong answer:

actually, in space, there is NO sound, because there are no particals for the sound to vibrate with, there's just empty SPACE.

In what ways are directions slightly distorted on the gore map

Bezzdna [24]

Distorted maps attempt a compromise, cutting the terrestrial surface along some arbitrarily chosen lines, then projecting each lobe (or gore, in case of interruptions, repeat periodically along related lines like meridians), separately with lower overall deformation. Gore boundaries are often designed to fall on less important areas, like oceans.

The radioactive element polonium decays according to the law given below where Q0 is the initial amount and the time t is measur

kogti [31]

Answer:

1280 mg

Explanation:

Radioactive decay is a phenomenon that occurs when a certain isotope of an element, said to be radioactive, decays, turning into a lighter nucleus and emitting radiation + energy in the process.

The radioactive decay of this isotope of polonium is described by the equation

$Q(t)=Q_0 2^{-\frac{t}{140}}$

where

$Q(t)$ is the amount of polonium left after time t

$Q_0$ is the amount of polonium t time t = 0

$140$ is the half-life of the polonium, in days (it is the time it takes for the initial element to halve its amount)

IN this problem, we know that:

After t = 560 days, the amount of polonium left is $Q(t)=80 mg$ . Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation, substituting t = 560 d, and solve for $Q_0$ to find the initial amount of polonium:

$Q_0 = Q(t) \cdot 2^{\frac{t}{140}}=(80)\cdot 2^{\frac{560}{140}}=1280 mg$

You are traveling 70 mph (31.3 m/s) and slam on the brakes to avoid hitting another car. How far do you travel if it takes you 8

Arlecino [84]

You traveled a distance of 620.075 meters if it takes you 8.5 seconds to stop.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Initial velocity, U = 31.3 m/s

Time, t = 8.5 seconds.

We know that acceleration due to gravity (a) for an object is equal to 9.8 meter per seconds square.

To find the distance traveled, we would use the second equation of motion:

Mathematically, the second equation of motion is given by the formula;

$S = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

Where:

S is the distance travelled.

u is the initial velocity.

a is the acceleration.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have;

$S = 31.3(8.5) + \frac{x}{y} (9.8)(8.5^2)\\\\S = 266.05 + 4.9(72.25)\\\\S = 266.05 + 354.025$

<em>Distance, S</em><em> = </em><em>620.075 meters.</em>

Therefore, you traveled a distance of 620.075 meters if it takes you 8.5 seconds to stop.
