Answer:

42 Joules

Explanation:

Potential energy

= weight × height

= (3.5)(12)

= <u>42 joules</u>

Volcanologists and seismologist are specialzed in what

antiseptic1488 [7]

The answer is:

They are specialized in geology and geophysics

1) Volcanologists are scientific researchers who study the properties of volcanoes and develop the science of predicting volcanic eruptions accurately.

- Volcanoes are the results of fissures in the earth's crust, from which magma, gases, rocks, and ashes can erupt.

-Volcanic eruptions and their impact on the atmosphere are investigated by specialist geologists known as volcanologists.

A) Volcanologists are scientists who use a variety of sophisticated equipment to measure and analyze volcanic activity, lava, rock, ashes and gases as well as earthquakes caused by eruptions.

B) Also, they measure the magnitude and intensity of explosions, placing them on a scale from 1 to 8 [volcanic explosivity index].

C)Volcanologists monitor both active and dormant volcanoes to try to predict eruptions and minimize adverse effects on people and their environment.

D)Also, they spend a lot of time collecting and analyzing samples of debris, rocks and other products from extinct volcanoes to gain a better understanding of the processes behind the volcanic activity and the impact former eruptions had in shaping the climate.

2) Seismologists are Earth scientists, specialized in geophysics, who study the genesis and the propagation of seismic waves in geological materials.

-Their research aims at interpreting the geological composition and structures of the Earth. In the case of earthquakes, seismologists evaluate the potential dangers and seek to minimize their impact through the improvement of construction standards.

Estimate the total number of bacteria and other prokaryotes in the biosphere of the earth. (assume the bacteria are found to a d

Fofino [41]

Since the Earth is almost spherical in shape, we are actually to find first the volume of the spherical segment at a depth of 1,000 m. The radius of the Earth is 6,371,000 meters. The volume of a spherical segment is:

V = 1/3*πh²(3r - h)
Substituting the values and making sure the units is in mm,
V = 1/3*π(1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)²[3(6,371,000 m * 1000 mm/1 m) - (1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)]
V = 2×10²² mm³

Thus, the total amount of bacteria is:

2×10²² mm³ * 100 bacteria/1 mm³ = 2×10²⁴ bacteria

A ball is tossed straight up from the surface of a small, spherical asteroid with no atmosphere. The ball rises to a height equa

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

d. equal to one-fourth the acceleration at the surface of the asteroid.

Explanation:

The explanation is attached as a picture with this answer

Newton's law of universal gravitation is being used to compare the accelerations at the surface and at the top of the ball's path.

as it can be seen in the explanation that the proportional form of the equation is used because we do not need to necessarily use to final form with "G" for comparison calculations.

As per the given scenario only difference between the two points in the gravitational field is the distance from center of the spherical asteroid, i.e. r.

It is taken 2r for the top is the path. hence we obtain (1/4)g as our answer.
