Answer:
More than 20% of the amazon has been destroyed, affects biodiversity.
Explanation:
- The biggest issues that the amazon is facing is the deforestation and it involves the clearing of land areas for logging, farming, and other land-use changes.
- Effects that are seen are droughts, floods, destruction of habitats of flora and fauna along with the valuable services of the ecosystem.
- This leads to a decrease in the carrying capacity of the species and the decline of the essential resources that are necessary to survive.
Answer:
33.6 Ns backward.
Explanation:
Impulse: This can be defined as the product of force and time. The S.I unit of impulse is Ns.
From Newton's second law of motion,
Impulse = change in momentum
I = mΔv................................. Equation 1
Where I = impulse, m = mass of the skater, Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity.
Given: m = 28 kg, t = 0.8 s, Δv = -1.2-0 = -1.2 m/s (Note: the initial velocity of the skater = 0 m/s)
Substituting into equation 1
I = 28(-1.2)
I = -33.6 Ns
Thus the impulse = 33.6 Ns backward.
Answer:
Forces can affect an object.
Balanced forces allow an object to continue moving at a constant motion (law of inertia).
Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion.
Answer:
0.4 m/s
Explanation:
Law of conservation of momentum tell us that the change in momentum of the hammer will be equal to the change in momentum of the astronaut
change in momentum of hammer = change in momentum of astronaut
2 kg (14 m/s - 0 m/s) = 70 kg * (v-0)
v = 0.4 m/s
If you are stationary, but in/on a moving vehicle/object you can be at rest and moving at then same time.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- A particle, when viewed from a given frame of reference, cannot be both at rest and in motion. However, in one frame of reference, a particle can be in motion whereas in another frame of reference the particle is in motion.
- For example, if you are seated in a plane, the plane is stationary in that reference frame and the Earth moves under it, but in the reference frame of the Earth, the plane is moving concerning the Earth. When you are standing still on Earth, in your frame of reference, the Earth is stationary, and the Sun and stars move around the Earth.
- However, in the frame of reference of the center of our solar system, the Earth orbits the Sun and the Sun are perturb slightly by the rest of the planets, but the rest of the galaxy orbits our solar system. Of course, in rest from our Galaxy, our solar system orbits a giant black hole at its center.
