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.

Which of the following natural factors is likely to support the formation of an oceanic island?

stepan [7]

The natural factor that is most likely to support the formation of an oceanic island is the rise of magma from the seafloor. Oceanic islands are also otherwise known as volcanic islands. When volcanoes erupt, they create layers of lava that break the surface of the water. When the tops of the volcanoes emerge, an island is created.

Answer:

(a) a = 2.44 m/s²

(b) s = 63.24 m

Explanation:

(a)

We will use the second equation of motion here:

$s = v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where,

s = distance covered = 47 m

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

t = time taken = 6.2 s

a = acceleration = ?

Therefore,

$47\ m = (0\ m/s)(6.2\ s)+\frac{1}{2}a(6.2\ s)^2\\\\a = \frac{2(47\ m)}{(6.2\ s)^2}$

a = 2.44 m/s²

(b)

Now, we will again use the second equation of motion for the complete length of the inclined plane:

$s = v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where,

s = distance covered = ?

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

t = time taken = 7.2 s

a = acceleration = 2.44 m/s²

Therefore,

$s = (0\ m/s)(6.2\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(2.44\ m/s^2)(7.2\ s)^2\\\\$

s = 63.24 m

Will a solid metal sphere hold a larger elaectric charge than a hollow sphere of the same diameter?Where does the charge reside

melomori [17]

The answer would be no. Both will have same charge, in both caes charge will reside on surface. In case of solid sphere it will be distributed evenly throughout. Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.
