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>

blagie [28]

Answer:

vf₁ = 6.86 m/s , to the right

vf₂ = 2.96 m/s, to the right

Explanation:

Theory of collisions

Linear momentum is a vector magnitude (same direction of the velocity) and its magnitude is calculated like this:

p=m*v

where

p:Linear momentum

m: mass

v:velocity

There are 3 cases of collisions : elastic, inelastic and plastic.

For the three cases the total linear momentum quantity is conserved:

P₀ = Pf Formula (1)

P₀ :Initial linear momentum quantity

Pf : Final linear momentum quantity

Data

m₁= 0.220 kg : mass of object₁

m₂= 0.345 kg : mass of object₂

v₀₁ = 2.1 m/s ₁ , to the right : initial velocity of m₁

v₀₂= 6 m/s, to the right i :initial velocity of m₂

Problem development

We appy the formula (1):

P₀ = Pf

m₁*v₀₁ + m₂*v₀₂ = m₁*vf₁ + m₂*vf₂

We assume that the two objects move to the right at the end of the collision, so, the sign of the final speeds is positive:

(0.22)*(2.1) + (0.345)*(6) = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)*vf₂

2.532 = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)*vf₂ Equation (1)

Because the shock is elastic, the coefficient of elastic restitution (e) is equal to 1.

$e= \frac{v_{f2}-v_{f1} }{v_{o1} -v_{o2} }$

1*(v₀₁ - v₀₂ ) = (vf₂ -vf₁)

(2.1 - 6 ) = (vf₂ -vf₁)

-3.9 = (vf₂ -vf₁)

vf₂ = vf₁ - 3.9

vf₂ = vf₁ - 3.9 Equation (2)

We replace Equation (2) in the Equation (1)

2.532 = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)*( vf₁ - 3.9)

2.532 = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)* (vf₁) -(0.345)( 3.9)

2.532 + 1.3455 = (0.565)*vf₁

3.8775 = (0.565)*vf₁

vf₁ = (3.8775) / (0.565)

vf₁ = 6.86 m/s, to the right

We replace vf₁ = 6.86 m/s in the Equation (2)

vf₂ = 6.86 - 3.9

vf₂ = 2.96 m/s, to the right

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

L = 5076.5 kg m² / s

Explanation:

The angular momentum of a particle is given by

L = r xp

L = r m v sin θ

the bold are vectors, where the angle is between the position vector and the velocity, in this case it is 90º therefore the sine is 1

as we have two bodies

L = 2 r m v

let's find the distance from the center of mass, let's place a reference frame on one of the masses

$x_{cm}$ = $\frac{1}{M} \sum x_{i} m_{i}$ i

x_{cm} = $\frac{1}{m+m} ( 0 + l m)$

x_{cm} = $\frac{1}{2m} lm$

x_{cm} = $\frac{1}{2}$

x_{cm} = 13.1 / 2 = 6.05 m

let's calculate

L = 2 6.05 74.3 5.65

L = 5076.5 kg m² / s

dexar [7]

Answer:

Option c. (Both Technician A and B are correct)

Explanation:

A transmission system consists of 3 shafts. The input shaft, the counter shaft, and the main shaft. The clutch gear always rotates with input shaft and is a crucial element of the input shaft.

The counter shaft is actually several gears machined out of a single piece of steel. The counter shaft may also be called counter gear or cluster gear. It is a secondary shaft that runs parallel to the mainshaft in a gearbox and is used to provide powers to machine components such as the drive axle.

The main gears (also called the speed gears) on main shaft (also known as the output shaft) are used to transfer rotation from counter shaft to the output shaft.

Hence in the light of above description, both technician A and B are correct.
