Assignment 2-3 It has been reported that a majority of high school students suffer from sleep deprivation. It has also been foun

d that the early start of school is counter-productive to learning. Several school districts around the country have remedied this by pushing back the starting time for school and have extended the school day later. Research one of these districts and report what they have done and what results they have experienced and your feelings about the situation. Please submit an essay of about 150 to 200 words.

<em>Introduction:</em>

The majority of high school students do not get enough sleep each night, and this trend has increased in recent years. A policy that is gaining traction is that of delaying school start time in order to allow students to sleep more hours each night.

<em>Body 1: </em>

Based on this assumption, the Seattle School District decided to delay school start time by nearly an hour during the 2016-2017 academic year. Instead of beginning the school day at 7:50, now students were able to begin the day at 8:45 am. This was done in order to counteract a trend that is common in industrialised societies. Adolescents operate best when they get nine hours of sleep. However, few students enjoy this.

<em>Body 2:</em>

According to the publication Science Advances, this change allowed students to enjoy 34 minutes of extra sleep on average each day. The total nightly sleep increased from six hours and 50 minutes to seven hours and 24 minutes. This meant that most students were sleeping longer than they were before. By sleeping longer hours, they were also more likely to be aware at school. It also reverses the trend on sleep deprivation in students.

<em>Body 3:</em>

I believe that this is a good change. The Seattle School District has proven that delaying school time does help students get more sleep. In turn, when students get closer to their recommended sleep time, they are more likely to perform better at school, feel less anxious, handle stress better and build positive relationships with people. I believe this is a change that should be implemented all over the country.

<em>Conclusion:</em>

In conclusion, evidence shows that delaying school start times can increase the time that students sleep, and in turn this can increase their overall health and well-being. This measure should be implemented all over the country.

If the specific surface energy for magnesium oxide is 1.0 J/m2 and its modulus of elasticity is (225 GPa), compute the critical
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:critical stress= 20.23 MPa

Explanation:

Since there was an internal crack, we will divide the length of the internal crack by 2

Length of internal crack, a = 0.7mm,

Half length = 0.7mm/2= 0.35mm  changing to meters becomes

0.35/ 1000= 0.35 x 10 ^-3m

The formulae for critical stress is calculated using

σC = (2Eγs /πa) ¹/₂

σC = critical stress=?

Given

E= Modulus of Elasticity= 225GPa =225 x 10 ^ 9 N/m²

γs= Specific surface energy = 1.0 J/m2 = 1.0 N/m

a= Half Length of crack=0.35 x 10 ^-3m

σC= (2 x 225 x 10 ^ 9 N/m² x 1.0 N/m /π x 0.35 x 10 ^-3m)¹/₂

=(4.5 x 10^11/π x 0.35 x 10 ^-3)¹/₂

=(4.0920 x10 ^14)¹/₂

σC=20.23 x10^6 N/m² = 20.23 MPa

1. If a bolt is size 1/2" or larger, then its corresponding wrench size should be____ larger than the bolt size
Mrac [35]

Answer:

  1. C. 1/4"
  2. B. 3/16"

Explanation:

1. For hex bolts, lag bolts, and square bolts, the wrench size is 1/4" larger than the bolt size for 1/2" and 9/16" bolts. For 5/8" bolts and larger, the wrench size is <em>50% larger than the bolt size</em>.

__

2. For 7/16" bolts, the wrench size is 5/8", so is 3/16" larger than the bolt. This holds down to 1/4" bolts, where the wrench size may be 3/8" or 7/16".

I am standing on the upper deck of the football stadium. I have an egg in my hand. I am going to drop it and you are going to tr
Alina [70]

Answer:

Δx = 25 ft.

Explanation:

Assuming that the person on the ground starts running at the same time as the egg is dropped, we have two simultaneous trajectories:

1 ) Egg falling:

If the egg is dropped, and we neglect the air resistance, we can use the kinematic equation that relates the distance and fall time, as follows:

yf-y₀ = 1/2* g* t²

If we take the up direction as positive, we can solve for t as follows:

0-100 ft = 1/2* (-32.15 ft/s²)* t²

⇒ t = \sqrt{(100*2)/32.15} = 2.5 sec.

2) Person on the ground running away:

In order to be able to run away, and then return to catch the egg, running at constant speed, he must run during exactly the half of the time that the egg is falling, i.e., 1.25 sec.

We can get the distance at which he can reach, applying the definition of velocity:

v = (xf-x₀) / (tfi-t₀)

If we choose t₀=0 and x₀ = 0 , we can solve for xf, as follows:

xf = v*t = 20 ft/sec*1.25 sec = 25 ft.
