Explain why people are hesitant to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

1 answer:

8 0

<span>The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is located in northern Alaska, and it sits well inside the Arctic Circle. Recent explorations showed that the region has several billion barrels of recoverable oil. It is a protected wildlife area, like the Grand Canyon or the Florida Everglades, so drilling will have negative impact on wildlife and forests in the region. Also, the region also supports native Alaskan tribes that rely on caribou herds. </span>

To determine the height of a tall building such as Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois a ball was dropped from the top of the build

Darya [45]

Answer:

The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 feet.

Explanation:

<h3>We apply the free fall formula to the ball: </h3><h3> $y=v_{o} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2}$ </h3><h3>y: The vertical distance the ball moves at time t </h3><h3> $v_{o}$ i: Initial speed </h3><h3>g=Gravity acceleration= $9.8*(\frac{\frac{1ft}{0.305m} }{s^{2} } )$ </h3>

Known information

We know that the vertical distance (y) that the ball moves in 9,5s is equal to height of Sears Tower (h).

Too we know that the ball is released from rest, then, $v_{0}$ =0

Height of Sears Tower calculation:

We replace in the equation 1 the data following;

$y=h$

$v_{o} =0$

$g=32,1\frac{ft}{s^{2} }$

$t= 9,5s$

$h=0*9.5+\frac{1}{2} *32.1*9.5^{2}$

$h=1448.5 ft$

Answer: The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 ft

A cyclotron designed to accelerate protons has a magnetic field of magnitude 0.15 T over a region of radius 7.4 m. The charge on

klio [65]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.15 T

Charge on a proton, $q=1.60218\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Mass of a proton, $m=1.67262 \times 10^{-27}\ kg$

The cyclotron frequency is given by :

$f=\dfrac{qB}{2\pi m}$

$f=\dfrac{1.60218\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 0.15\ T}{2\pi \times 1.67262 \times 10^{-27}\ kg}$

f = 2286785.40 Hz

$\omega=14368296.44\ rad/s$

$\omega=1.43\times 10^7 rad/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

<u>CHEMICAL CHANGE</u>:

A change in which one or more substances are converted into new substances is a <em>chemical change</em>.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

Chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances.

<u>EXAMPLE:</u>

<em>Examples of Chemical Change in Everyday Life </em>

Burning of paper and log of wood.

Digestion of food.

Boiling an egg.

Chemical battery usage.

Electroplating a metal.

Baking a cake.

Milk going sour.

Various metabolic reactions that take place in the cells.
