Alright I'm not an expert on this, so you'll probably have to verify it with someone more qualified, but here's my idea (the summary is underlined at the bottom, but I added an explanation just because):
Humans are increasing the CO2 levels in our atmosphere, trapping a lot of the sun's heat in. Increased heat increases the chance of desertification and drought, and also causes regional temperatures to go up. The sun's rays are also hitting the icecaps, but the ice itself reflects most of the sun. However, the ocean absorbs the heat, causing the water around the ice to become warmer, just enough to cause them to melt a bit. This melting makes the ocean level rise. <u>So to wrap up, humans are changing the biosphere causing the Earth to warm up, the icecaps and glaciers to melt, regional temperatures to increase, and the chance of desertification to also increase.</u>
It took me FOREVER to write and word this well so I hope this helps. =)

A uniform bridge 20.0m long and weighing 4.00 x 10^5 N is supported by two pillars located 3.00m from each end. If a 1.96 x 10 ^
wolverine [178]
We have 2 conditions of balance. First of all, the total forces have to have a net sum of 0 since the bridge is balancing. Hence, if we denote by F1 the force of the first pole, F2 the power of the second pole (the one closer to the car), W the weight of the bridge and w the weight of the car, we have that W+w=F1+F2=4.196*10^5 N.

We also have that it does not rotate. Hence, taking as origin of our frame of reference the car, we have that 5*F2+4*W=9*F2 by calculating the distances from our point of reference. Thus yields 5F2+8*10^5=9F2. When we solve the system of equations that is created above (best way here is by substitution), we get that F1=2.07*10^5 N while F2=2.126*10^5 N . Each pole takes up around half the weight but due to the car the pole closer to it has more weight to bear; nevertheless the car does not weigh a lot so the difference is small.

A projectile is fired at an upward angle of 29.7° from the top of a 108-m-high cliff with a speed of 130-m/s. What will be its
german

Answer:

79.2 m/s

Explanation:

θ = angle at which projectile is launched = 29.7 deg

a = initial speed of launch = 130 m/s

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

v₀ = initial velocity along the vertical direction = a Sinθ = 130 Sin29.7 = 64.4 m/s

y = vertical displacement = - 108 m

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

v = final speed as it strikes the ground

Using the kinematics equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a y

v² = 64.4² + 2 (-9.8) (-108)

v = 79.2 m/s

An artificial satellite circles Earth in a circular orbit at a location where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.00 m/s2. Dete
Ksju [112]
 <span>g = GMe/Re^2, where Re = Radius of earth (6360km), G = 6.67x10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2, and Me = Mass of earth. On the earth's surface, g = 9.81 m/s^2, so the radius of your orbit is:


R = Re * sqrt (9.81 m/s^2 / 9.00 m/s^2) = 6640km 

here, the speed of the satellite is:

v = sqrt(R*9.00m/s^2) = 7730 m/s 

  the time it would take the satellite to complete one full rotation is:

T = 2*pi*R/v = 5397 s * 1h/3600s = 1.50 h 

Hope it help i know it's long and may be confusing but if you have any more questions regarding this topic just hmu!  :)</span>
