Hello! The nontoxic, nonflammable chemicals containing atoms of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine that have created a hole in the ozone layer are the Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

These are compounds developed and improved by Thomas Midgley in the late 1920s. They were used as refrigerants and aerosol propellants.

These compounds created a hole in the ozone layer by the following reactions:

CCl₃F → CCl₂F· + Cl· (In the presence of light. Radical Reaction)
Cl· + O₃ → ClO + O₂
ClO + O₃ → Cl· + O₂

The last 2 reactions can repeat in a radical mechanism and explain why these compounds are so harmful to the ozone layer.

A huge tank of glycerine with a density of 1.260 g/cm3 is vertically stationed on a platform which is 15 m above the ground. The

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The tank is losing $4.976*10^{-4} m^3/s$

$v_g = 19.81 \ m/s$

Explanation:

According to the Bernoulli’s equation:

$P_1 + 1 \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 + \rho gh_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2 + \rho gh_2$

We are being informed that both the tank and the hole is being exposed to air :

∴ P₁ = P₂

Also as the tank is voluminous ; we take the initial volume $v_1$ ≅ 0 ;

then $v_2$ can be determined as: $\sqrt{[2g (h_1- h_2)]$

h₁ = 5 + 15 = 20 m;

h₂ = 15 m

$v_2 = \sqrt{[2*9.81*(20 - 15)]$

$v_2 = \sqrt{[2*9.81*(5)]$

$v_2= 9.9 \ m/s$ as it leaves the hole at the base.

radius r = d/2 = 4/2 = 2.0 mm

(a) From the law of continuity; its equation can be expressed as:

J = $A_1v_2$

J = πr² $v_2$

J = $\pi *(2*10^{-3})^{2}*9.9$

J = $1.244*10^{-4} m^3/s$

b)

How fast is the water from the hole moving just as it reaches the ground?

In order to determine that; we use the relation of the velocity from the equation of motion which says:

v² = u² + 2gh ₂

v² = 9.9² + 2×9.81×15

v² = 392.31

The velocity of how fast the water from the hole is moving just as it reaches the ground is : $v_g = \sqrt{392.31}$

$v_g = 19.81 \ m/s$

The alarm at a fire station rings and a 87.5-kg fireman, starting from rest, slides down a pole to the floor below (a distance o

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

$F_f=840N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Weight of fireman $W_f= 87.5kg$

Pole distance $D=4.10m$

Final speed is $V_f 1.75m/s$

Generally the equation for velocity is mathematically represented as

$v^2 = v_0^2 + 2 a d$

Therefore Acceleration a

$a'= v^2 / 2 d$

$a'= 0.21m/s^2$

Generally the equation for Frictional force $F_f$ is mathematically given as

$F_f=m*a$

$F_f=m*(g-0.21)$

$F_f=87.5*(9.81-0.21)$

Therefore

$F_f=840N$

Kelly is riding a bicycle, moves with an initial velocity of 5 m/s. Ten seconds later, she is moving at 15 m/s. What is her acce

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

her acceleration is 1 m/sec

Explanation:

The following information is given in the question

The initial velocity is 5 m/s

After 10 seconds, she would be moved at 15 m/s

We need to find the acceleration

As we know that

Acceleration = Change in speed ÷ time

Acceleration = (15 - 5) ÷ (10)

= 1 m/sec

Hence, her acceleration is 1 m/sec

The same would be considered
