Answer: 1 to 8

The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) is a measure of the explosiveness of volcanic eruptions. It was devised by Chris Newhall of the United States Geological Survey and Stephen Self at the University of Hawaii in 1982. The index is based on a scale of 1 to 8, 1 being very small, and 8 being huge and very rare.

This DNA strand consists of eight pairs of nitrogenous bases. How many different sequences of eight bases can you make?

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

assuming that there is an equal amount of each base, you can make 65,536 bases

Explanation:

Adenine(A) Guanine(G) Thymine(T) and Cytosine(C) are the 4 nitrogen bases.

Can density be used to identify what a substance is made of?

Korolek [52]

Possibly, if you have list of densities and you have to match it. I can't think of any other scenarios in which it would be able to.

Hope I helped! :)

The resistance of the body varies from approximately 500 kΩ (when it is very dry) to about 1.00kΩ (when it is wet). The maximum

Nady [450]

Answer:

you absolute buffoon Use Ohms' Law: V = RI

V = (1x10^3)(5x10^-3) = 5 volts

Yes, this is in the range of normal household voltages.

In a Broadway performance, an 84.5-kg actor swings from a R = 4.30-m-long cable that is horizontal when he starts. At the bottom

Arada [10]

Answer:

1.57772 m

Explanation:

M = Mass of actor = 84.5 kg

m = Mass of costar = 55 kg

v = Velocity of costar

V = Velocity of actor

$h_i$ = Intial height of actor = 4.3 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

As the energy of the system is conserved

$\frac{1}{2}MV^2=Mgh_i\\\Rightarrow V=\sqrt{2gh_i}\\\Rightarrow V=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 4.3}\\\Rightarrow V=9.18509\ m/s$

As the linear momentum is conserved

$MV=(m+M)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{MV}{m+M}\\\Rightarrow V=\frac{84.5\times 9.18509}{84.5+55}\\\Rightarrow v=5.56372\ m/s$

Applying conservation of energy again

$\frac{1}{2}(m+M)v^2=(m+M)gh_f\\\Rightarrow h_f=\frac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow h_f=\frac{5.56372^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h_f=1.57772\ m$

The maximum height they reach is 1.57772 m
