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 car mass of 1.2 x 10 kilograms starts from rest and attains a speed of 20 meters/seconds in 5 seconds. What net force acted on

lorasvet [3.4K]

Net force on the car=F=4.8 x 10³ N

Explanation:

mass of car= 1.2 x 10³ Kg

initial velocity= Vi=0

Final velocity= Vf= 20 m/s

time = t= 5 s

Using kinematic equation,

Vf= Vi + at

20= 0 + a (5)

5 a=20

a= 20/5

a= 4 m/s²

Now force is given by F = ma

F= 1.2 x 10³ (4)

F=4.8 x 10³ N

A series of optical telescopes produced an image that has a resolution of about 0.00350 arc second.

Mila [183]

Answer:

The smallest diameter is $D =122 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The resolution of the telescope is $\theta = 0.00350 \ arc \ second$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 1.70 \mu m = 1.70 *10^{-6} \ m$

From the question we are told that

$1 arc \ sec = \frac{1}{3600^o}$

So $0.00350 \ arc \ second = x$

Therefore

$x = 0.00350 * \frac{1}{3600 }$

$x = ( 9.722*10^{-7} )^o$

Now $1^o = \frac{\pi}{180}$

So $(9.722*10^{-7})^o = \theta$

=> $\theta = (9.722*10^{-7}) * \frac{\pi}{180}$

$\theta = 1.69*10^{-8} rad$

The smallest diameter is mathematically represented as

$D = \frac{1.22 \lambda }{\theta }$

substituting values

$D = \frac{1.22 * 1.7 *10^{-6}} {1.69 *10^{-8} }$

$D =122 \ m$
