Answer:

Environmental mitigation

Explanation:

Environmental migitation is related environmental industry to describe impacts to the wetland, endangered species, archeological site, paleontological site or historic structure.

This Act mainly focus on action of reducing the severity, seriousness, or painfulness to the environment.

According Clean Water Act in 1972, they agreed to create a another wetland for state highway which was constructed over wetlands.

During a very quick stop, a car decelerates at 7.6 m/s2. Assume the forward motion of the car corresponds to a positive directio

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

24.57 revolutions

Explanation:

(a) If they do not slip on the pavement, then the angular acceleration is

$\alpha = a / r = 7.6 / 0.26 = 29.23 rad/s^2$

(b) We can use the following equation of motion to find out the angle traveled by the wheel before coming to rest:

$\omega^2 - \omega_0^2 = 2\alpha\Delta \theta$

where v = 0 m/s is the final angular velocity of the wheel when it stops, $\omega_0$ = 95rad/s is the initial angular velocity of the wheel, $\alpha = -29.23 rad/s^2$ is the deceleration of the wheel, and $\Delta \theta$ is the angle swept in rad, which we care looking for:

$0 - 95^2 = 2*29.23\Delta \theta$

$9025 = 58.46 \Delta \theta$

$\Delta \theta = 9025 / 58.46 = 154.375 rad$

As each revolution equals to 2π, the total revolution it makes before stop is

154.375 / 2π = 24.57 revolutions

A 1.60 m cylindrical rod of diameter 0.550 cm is connected to a power supply that maintains a constant potential difference of 1

bija089 [108]

1.

Answer:

Part a)

$\rho = 1.35 \times 10^{-5}$

Part b)

$\alpha = 1.12 \times 10^{-3}$

Explanation:

Part a)

Length of the rod is 1.60 m

diameter = 0.550 cm

now if the current in the ammeter is given as

$i = 18.7 A$

V = 17.0 volts

now we will have

$V = I R$

$17.0 = 18.7 R$

R = 0.91 ohm

now we know that

$R = \rho \frac{L}{A}$

$0.91 = \rho \frac{1.60}{\pi(0.275\times 10^{-2})^2}$

$\rho = 1.35 \times 10^{-5}$

Part b)

Now at higher temperature we have

$V = I R$

$17.0 = 17.3 R$

R = 0.98 ohm

now we know that

$R = \rho \frac{L}{A}$

$0.98 = \rho' \frac{1.60}{\pi(0.275\times 10^{-2})^2}$

$\rho' = 1.46 \times 10^{-5}$

so we will have

$\rho' = \rho(1 + \alpha \Delta T)$

$1.46 \times 10^{-5} = 1.35 \times 10^{-5}(1 + \alpha (92 - 20))$

$\alpha = 1.12 \times 10^{-3}$

2.

Answer:

Part a)

$i = 1.55 A$

Part b)

$v_d = 1.4 \times 10^{-4} m/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that current density is defined as

$j = \frac{i}{A}$

now we have

$i = jA$

Now we have

$j = 1.90 \times 10^6 A/m^2$

$A = \pi(\frac{1.02 \times 10^{-3}}{2})^2$

so we will have

$i = 1.55 A$

Part b)

now we have

$j = nev_d$

so we have

$n = 8.5 \times 10^{28}$

$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

so we have

$1.90 \times 10^6 = (8.5 \times 10^{28})(1.6 \times 10^{-19})v_d$

$v_d = 1.4 \times 10^{-4} m/s$
