Advantages
Fossil fuels are easy to find beneath the earths surface , fossil fuels has unlimited potential, and fossil fuels are very cost effective, especially coal.

Disadvantages
Burning fossil fuels can cause greenhouse effect which is harming the environment and mining fossil fuels may also endanger the lives of animals.

A 2.6 kg mass attached to a light string rotates on a horizontal,

Ainat [17]

The maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is 2.27 m/s.

The given parameters:

maximum mass the string can support before breaking, m = 17.9 kg
radius of the circle, r = 0.525 m

The maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is calculated as follows;

$T = ma_c\\\\Mg = \frac{Mv^2}{r} \\\\v^2 = rg\\\\v = \sqrt{rg} \\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{0.525 \times 9.8} \\\\v_{max} = 2.27 \ m/s$

Thus, the maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is 2.27 m/s.

A 873-kg (1930-lb) dragster, starting from rest completes a 401.4-m (0.2509-mile) run in 4.945 s. If the car had a constant acce

Delvig [45]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of motion.

By definition we know that the position of a body is given by

$x=x_0+v_0t+at^2$

Where

$x_0 =$ Initial position

$v_0 =$ Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

t= time

And the velocity can be expressed as,

$v_f = v_0 + at$

Where,

$v_f = Final velocity$

For our case we have that there is neither initial position nor initial velocity, then

$x= at^2$

With our values we have $x = 401.4m, t=4.945s$ , rearranging to find a,

$a=\frac{x}{t^2}$

$a = \frac{ 401.4}{4.945^2}$

$a = 16.41m/s^2$

Therefore the final velocity would be

$v_f = v_0 + at$

$v_f = 0 + (16.41)(4.945)$

$v_f = 81.14m/s$

Therefore the final velocity is 81.14m/s

Why society might initially reject a new scientific theory?

Irina18 [472]

I was about to say: because people generally get comfortable with
what they think they know, and don't like the discomfort of being told
that they have to change something they're comfortable with.

But then I thought about it a little bit more, and I have a different answer.

"Society" might initially reject a new scientific theory, because 'society'
is totally unequipped to render judgement of any kind regarding any
development in Science.

First of all, 'Society' is a thing that's made of a bunch of people, so it's
inherently unequipped to deal with scientific news. Anything that 'Society'
decides has a lot of the mob psychology in it, and a public opinion poll or
a popularity contest are terrible ways to evaluate a scientific discovery.

Second, let's face it. The main ingredient that comprises 'Society' ... people ...
are generally uneducated, unknowledgeable, unqualified, and clueless in the
substance, the history, and the methods of scientific inquiry and reporting.

There may be very good reasons that some particular a new scientific theory
should be rejected, or at least seriously questioned. But believe me, 'Society'
doesn't have them.

That's pretty much why.

Mariulka [41]

<h3>Given :- </h3>

A certain circuit is composed of two series resistors
The total resistance is 10 ohms
One of the resistor is 4 ohms

We have to find the value of other resistor?

<h3>Let's Begin :-</h3>

We know that,

In series combination,

When a number of resistances are connected in series, the equivalent I.e resultant resistance is equal to the sum of the individual resistances and is greater than any individual resistance

That is,

Rn in series = R1 + R2 + R3.....So on

Therefore,

According to the question,

We have,

R1 + R2 = 10 Ω

4 + R2 = 10Ω

R2 = 10 - 4

R2 = 6Ω

Hence, The value of R2 resistor in series is 6Ω
