Answer:

a. Light pollution refers to light used for human activities that brightens the sky and hinders astronomical observations.

Explanation:

Light pollution is due to the excessive and misdirected use of artificial light. Light bulbs are often design in an incorrect way, since a great part of its light is not completely directed to the ground and an important percentage is emitted to the sky in where will be scattered and reflected back to ground by the particles in the atmosphere. That brings as an effect a sky glow, therefore the visibility of astronomical objects will be extremely reduce.

Hence, professional astronomical research and amateur observations will be affected. Light pollution has a negative impact on bird migration at night and in the health of difference species, humans also.

How does a plane and parachute manipulate air resistance differently?

A planes wings are slightly tilted catching the air as it passes, keeping it afloat
a parachute has a cupping effect where it can only take so much, so it slows down your descendence

How do Newton's laws of motion explain why it is important to keep the ice smooth on a hockey rink so that players can

lord [1]

Answer:

I'm not sure..but please refer to your teacher later.

Answer: Based on Newton's First law of motion (where inertia is involved), smooth ice increases the forceused to accelerate the hockey puck.

Explanation;

smooth ice reduces the resistances between the surface of the figure skates and the ice itself.
based on inertia theory ; the heavier the weight, the larger the inertia.. which explains it takes alot of force to move a heavier object than the lighter ones.. it also hard to *stop* the motion of heavier objects than the lighter ones.
now let's look at the design of the player shoe itself, they have a sharp blade at the bottom of the figure stakes.. which takes us to the law of the force.. the smaller the surface area, the more forces acting on it. So, players force (weight, F= mg) acts on the tip of the blade and on the ice
high inertia (run fast) and high force (attack opponent and pass puck) enables them to perform well in playing hockey
Thus if there's no resistance and the inertia of the player is high then they could run and pass the puck quickly

Given three different locations on Earth's surface, where will the weight of a person be greatest?

Feliz [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we simply have to refer to the laws of the equations of gravitational mechanics.

The equation given by Newton tells us that

$F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2} }{r^{2} }$

In the case where we compare a specific place where the Force of Gravity is greater or lesser, we focus on the term assigned to the Planet's Radius.

In the case of $G, m_{1} ,m_{2}$ , we understand that they are constant.

We can easily notice that the more the Radius (Height seen from a viewer on the ground), the lower the force will be.

In other words, the smaller the radius in which the measurement is made with respect to the center of the earth, the greater the gravitational force.

In that order of ideas the smallest radio has South Pole, which is about 6356 km from the center of the Earth on the Equator line

To test the performance of its tires, a car

Rom4ik [11]

The coefficient of static friction is 0.222

Explanation:

In order for the car to remain in circular motion, the frictional force must be able to provide the necessary centripetal force. Therefore, the car will start skidding when the two forces are equal:

$\mu mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}$
