8 0

Answer:

For example, an earthquake of magnitude 5.5 releases about 32 times as much energy as an earthquake measuring 4.5. Another way to look at this is that it takes about 900 magnitude 4.5 earthquakes to equal the energy released in a single 6.5 earthquake.

A box, compressing a spring by 4 m, is loaded and ready. Moments later the 8.0 kg box has been launched with
Mrac [35]

Answer:

50 N/m

Explanation:

Elastic energy = kinetic energy

EE = KE

½ kx² = ½ mv²

½ k (4 m)² = ½ (8.0 kg) (10.0 m/s)²

k = 50 N/m

A child uses a rubber band to launch a bottle cap at an angle of 37.0° above the horizontal. The cap travels a horizontal distan
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Initial velocity will be 1.356 m/sec      

Explanation:

Let the initial speed = u

Angle at which rubber band is launched = 37°

Horizontal component of initial velocity u_x=ucos\Theta =ucos37^{\circ}=0.7986u

Time is given as t = 1.20 sec

Distance in horizontal direction = 1.30 m

We know that distance = speed × time

So time t=\frac{distance}{speed}

1.20=\frac{1.3}{0.7986u}

u=1.356m/sec

So initial velocity will be 1.356 m/sec

What hidden costs of using DDT did Rachel Carson call attention to?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The ban was intended to prevent the imminent extinction of ospreys, peregrine falcons, and bald eagles, our national bird, among other species; they were vulnerable because DDT caused a fatal thinning of eggshells, which collapsed under the weight of the parent incubating them.

Explanation:

The hidden cost was to control pests was washing off into rivers and streams, poisoning fish, birds, and even humans with toxic chemicals.

The electrostatic force between two charges is originally F. Which expression represents the new electrostatic force between the
Bad White [126]

Answer: c)• 2/3

Explanation:

Lets say q1 and q2 are two charges with r distance far apart.

So electrostatic force

F = (k q1 q2) / r²

as k = Coulomb's constant

Now

q1' = 2q1

q2' = q2/3

Therefore the new electrostatic force

F' = (k q'1 q'2) / r²

F' = (k 2q1 q2) / 3r²

F' = 2/3 [(k q1 q2) / r²]

so F' = 2/3F

New electrostatic force  is 2/3F
