Given: Mass m = 0.50 Kg; Force = Weight = mg F = (0.50 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)
F = 4.9 N
Displacement x = 3.0 cm convert to meter x = 0.03 m
Required: Spring constant k = "
Formula: F = kx
k = F/x
k = 4.9 N/0.03 m
k = 163.33 N/m
Answer The last one is you answer
Explanation:
Answer:
19.1 secs
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the velocity
= 17.4/47.6
= 0.37 m/s
Therefore the time taken for the person to reach the top can be calculated as follows
= 17.4/(0.37+0.541)
= 17.4 / 0.911
= 19.1 secs
Hence the time taken is 19.1 secs
The ecological effects of acid rain are most clearly seen in aquatic environments, such as streams, lakes, and marshes where it can be harmful to fish and other wildlife. As it flows through the soil, acidic rain water can leach aluminum from soil clay particles and then flow into streams and lakes. The more acid that is introduced to the ecosystem, the more aluminum is released.
Some types of plants and animals are able to tolerate acidic waters and moderate amounts of aluminum. Others, however, are acid-sensitive and will be lost as the pH declines. Generally, the young of most species are more sensitive to environmental conditions than adults. At pH 5, most fish eggs cannot hatch. At lower pH levels, some adult fish die. Some acidic lakes have no fish. Even if a species of fish or animal can tolerate moderately acidic water, the animals or plants it eats might not. For example, frogs have a critical pH around 4, but the mayflies they eat are more sensitive and may not survive pH below 5.5.
Effects of Acid Rain on Plants and Trees:
Dead or dying trees are a common sight in areas effected by acid rain. Acid rain leaches aluminum from the soil. That aluminum may be harmful to plants as well as animals. Acid rain also removes minerals and nutrients from the soil that trees need to grow.
At high elevations, acidic fog and clouds might strip nutrients from trees’ foliage, leaving them with brown or dead leaves and needles. The trees are then less able to absorb sunlight, which makes them weak and less able to withstand freezing temperatures.
