Rachel Carson was the author of the acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring. The book was published in 1962.
It documented the negative effect that synthetic pesticides have on the environment, specifically on birds.
This book laid bare to the American public what chemical companies indirectly contributed to the environment.
The public furor this book caused led to the reversal of the national pesticide policy, a nationwide ban on DDT for agricultural uses, and inspired the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Answer:
1.27 m
Explanation:
Distance = 192 m
number of rotations = 48
Distance traveled in one rotation = 2 x π x r
Where, r be the radius of wheel.
so, distance traveled in 48 rotations = 48 x 2 x 3.14 x r
It is equal to the distance traveled.
192 = 48 x 2 x 3.14 x r
r = 0.637 m
diameter of wheel = 2 x radius of wheel = 2 x 0.637 = 1.27 m
160 m/s because you start off with 10 and go up by 50*3 which is 150 then add that with the begging speed to achieve 160m/s.
