The answer is the last one: all of these events.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Blowing the entire island apart: Correct. The eruption of Krakatau was so powerful that it destroyed most of the island.

  2. None of these events: Incorrect. Several of the listed events are true.

  3. The loudest sound ever heard: Correct. The eruption produced one of the loudest sounds in recorded history.

  4. All of these events: Correct. Each of the listed events occurred as a result of the eruption.

  5. A tsunami that killed 36,000 people: Correct. The eruption caused a massive tsunami that resulted in significant loss of life.

Summary: The eruption of Krakatau in 1883 is infamous for all of these events.

Topic 8. Applications of Trigonometric Functions Solve the problem. An alternating current generator generates current with a frequency of 60 Hz. Suppose that initially, the current is at its maximum of 4 amperes. If the current varies in simple harmonic motion over time, write a model for the current I (in amperes) as a function of the time t (in seconds). Select one: a. I=2 cos (120 pi t)+2 b. I=4 cos (60 t) c. I=2 cos (60 t)+2 d. I=4 cos (120 pi t)

By completing the square, put the equation 4x^2+y^2+3z^2=22-8x-10y+6z into the standard form a(x-x0)^2+b(y-y0)^2+c(z-z0)^2=d. Then, use your answer to sketch a graph of this quadric surface on paper.

If a basketball player shoots a foul shot, releasing the ball at a 45-degree angle from a position 6 feet above the floor, then the path of the ball can be modeled by the function, h(x)=-44 x^2/v^2+x+6, where h is the height of the ball above the floor, x is the forward distance of the ball in front of the foul line, and v is the initial velocity with which the ball is shot in feet per second. Suppose a player shoots a ball with an initial velocity of 27 feet per second. Answer parts (a)-(d). (b) Find the height of the ball after it has traveled 8 feet in front of the foul line. The height of the ball is 17.86 ft. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) (c) Find additional points and graph the path of the basketball. A. B. C. D. (d) The center of the hoop is located 10 feet above the floor and 15 feet in front of the foul line. Will the ball go through the hoop? Yes No If not, with what initial velocity must the ball be shot in order for the ball to go through the hoop? Select the correct choice and, if necessary, fill in the answer box within your choice. A. The initial velocity must be feet per second. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) B. The ball will go through the hoop with the given initial velocity.

Question 2 1 pts Mexican chemist Mario J. Molina was one of three chemists who received the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1995 for his work in determining that chloroflourocarbons (CFCs) release Cl atoms into the atmosphere, leading to the depletion of the ozone layer. The two-step mechanism for the resulting reaction is shown below. step 1 Cl+O3 -> ClO+O2 step 2 ClO+O -> Cl+O2 Why does a small amount of CFCs lead to a large loss of ozone? (There may be more than one answer. Select all that apply.) Since it is a catalyst, it must absorb UV radiation from sunlight before it can be active. As a catalyst, it is created in the reaction mixture before it changes the rate of the reaction As a catalyst, it can speed up many cycles of the same reaction Because it is a catalyst, it causes the reaction to occur faster but isn't consumed during the reaction. Since it is a catalyst, it stabilizes the products of the reaction
