I'll give just one. The eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815 was one of the volcanic eruptions with widespread damage. Mount Tambora erupted, bringing thermal waves and tsunamis that killed 38,000 people (estimated). It is not just the tsunami and thermal waves, but also the ash plume that caused a cool down on the earth's atmosphere by 5°C causing "The Year Without Summer" and caused crops worldwide to fail, or degrade causing famine. That is all I know :) have a good day.

Ann [662]
We know that speed equals distance between time. Therefore to find the distance we have that d = V * t. Substituting the values d = (72 Km / h) * (1h / 3600s) * (4.0 s) = 0.08Km.Therefore during this inattentive period traveled a distance of 0.08Km

ira [324]

Answer:

43.58 m

Explanation:

If you travel 500 m on a straight road that slopes upward at a constant angle of 5 degrees

Using trigonometry ratio

Sin 5 = opposite/hypothenus

Where the hypothenus = 500m

Opposite = height h

Sin 5 = h/500

Cross multiply

500 × sin 5 = h

h = 500 × 0.08715

h = 43.58m

Therefore, the height above the starting point is equal to 43.58m

the water behind hoover dam in nevada is 206 m higher than the colorado river below it. at what rate must water pass through the
Nitella [24]

Answer:

the required mass flow rate is 49484.37 kg/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we first determine the relation for mass flow rate of water that passes through the turbine;

so the relation for net work on the turbine due to the change in potential energy considering 100% efficiency is;

W_{net} = m ( Δ P.E )

so we substitute (gh) for ( Δ P.E );

W_{net} = m (gh)

m = W_{net} / gh

so we substitute our given values into the equation

m = 100 MW / ( 9.81 m/s²) × 206 m

m = ( 100 MW × 10⁶W/MW) / ( 9.81 m/s²) × 206 m

m = 10 × 10⁷ / 2020.86

m = 49484.37 kg/s

Therefore, the required mass flow rate is 49484.37 kg/s

Crazy boy [7]
It would be a really bad idea to eat the snow because you obviously are trying to stay warm right? Well, the best thing to do is melt the snow. However, the process of melting the snow would have a few complications as well. But yes, the latter idea (drinking the snow) is a better idea (not the best).
