Answer:

Some synthetic polymers use materials from Earth that are nonrenewable.

They can end up as waste products that sometimes can’t be recycled.

They sometimes release toxins into the environment.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Some synthetic polymers use materials from Earth that are nonrenewable.
They can end up as waste products that sometimes can’t be recycled.
They sometimes release toxins into the environment.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Synthetic polymers are types of polymers that are man made, that is they are polymers that are made in the labs or industries from chemical substances.
Such polymers include nylon, polyester, and polyethylene among others. These polymers are used to make many clothes and plastics that we use and see around.
Synthetic polymers have a range of disadvantages which includes. being non-biodegradable, these polymers and especially plastics may end up as waste products and pollutes the environment and end up in livers and lakes and this would be toxic for aquatic animals.

A disk-shaped platform has a known rotational inertia. The platform is mounted on a fixed axle and rotates in a horizontal plane

Nataly [62]

The frictional torque exerted on the platform by the axle as the platform rotates will be;

$\rm T_f \theta =\frac{1}{2} I [\omega^2-\omega_0^2]$

<h3>What is torque?</h3>

Torque is the force's twisting action about the axis of rotation. Torque is the term used to describe the instant of force. It is the rotational equivalent of force. Torque is a force that acts in a turn or twist.

The amount of torque is equal to force multiplied by the perpendicular distance between the point of application of force and the axis of rotation.

Work done by the frictional torque = Change in the rotational kinetic energy of the wheel

$\rm T_f \theta =\frac{1}{2} I [\omega^2-\omega_0^2]$

Where,

$\rm T_f$ is the frictional torque
