True.

Recycling programs in the United States have now become a major component in today's waste management, unfortunately, recycling programs are not cost effective and are also considered to be one of most expensive ways of ridding waste. According to author Harvey Black of the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal, in San Jose, California “it costs $28 per ton to landfill waste compared with $147 a ton to recycle” (Black 1006).

A wall clock has a minute hand with a length of 0.55 m and an hour hand with a length of 0.26 m. Take the center of the clock as

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock $1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of minute hand = 0.55 m

Length of hour hand = 0.26 m

The time taken by the minute hand to complete one revelation is

$T= 3600\ sec$

We need to calculate the angular frequency

Using formula of angular frequency

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}$

Put the value into the formula

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{3600}$

$\omega=0.001745\ rad/s$

We need to calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock

Using formula of acceleration

$a=r\omega^2$

Put the value into the formula

$a=0.55\times(0.001745)^2$

$a=1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2$

Hence, The magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock $1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2$ .

Which elements will bond ionically with barium such that the formula would be written as BaX2? A) Nitrogen, chlorine, and sodium

erma4kov [3.2K]

The answer would be:

B. Chlorine, iodine and Fluorine

Barium has 2 valence electrons. To satisfy the BaX₂ , this would mean that Barium will need to give one of each of its electrons. The elements that need 1 electron would be those that have 7 valence electrons to complete the octet. These elements would fall in group 7 or halogens. Chlorine, iodine and fluorine are all in Group 7, so this would be the best choice.

A flat disk, a solid sphere, and a hollow sphere each have the same mass m and radius r. The three objects are arranged so that

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:The rotational inertia of any object depends directly on the distance the mass is from the axis of a rotating object

Having more mass at the sides will increase the rotational inertia of the object that is why a Hollow sphere having same M and R as the solid one has more rotational inertia as it has more mass at the sides.

The sphere have some mass at the center but most of its mass is closer to its radius and thus have more inertia than flat Disk.

The same relation exist between a flat disk and hollow sphere. The hollow sphere have some mass at the center but most of its mass is closer to its radius and thus have more inertia.

The rotational of the objects can be calculated by these equations

$FlatDisk=\frac{1}{4} MR^2\\Sphere=\frac{2}{5} MR^2\\HollowSphere=\frac{2}{3} MR^2\\$

Elevator is accelerating upward 3.5 M/S2 and has a mass of 300 KG. The force of gravity is 2940 N. What is the tension force pul

forsale [732]

Answer:

T = 3990 N

Explanation:

The free body diagram for the elevator consists of a tension force pointing up, and its weight pointing down. So the elevator's net force is:

F = T - 2940N

ad at the same time, using Newton's second law, we have that this net force should equal the elevator's mass (300 kg) times its acceleration (a):

T - 2940N = 300kg (3.5m/s^2)

then

T = 2940 N + 1050 N

T = 3990 N
