Hi everyone, I need help on the question: Why are humans the most dangerous creatures in the ocean

1 answer:

7 0

HUMAN ACTIVITIES ARE threatening the health of the world's oceans. More than 80 percent of marine pollution comes from land-based activities. From coral bleaching to sea level rise, entire marine ecosystems are rapidly changing.

Global warming is causing sea levels to rise, threatening coastal population centers. Many pesticides and nutrients used in agriculture end up in the coastal waters, resulting in oxygen depletion that kills marine plants and shellfish. Factories and industrial plants discharge sewage and other runoff into the oceans. Oil spills pollute the oceans, though U.S. water-sewage treatment plants discharge twice as much oil each year as tanker spills. Air pollution is responsible for almost one-third of the toxic contaminants and nutrients that enter coastal areas and oceans. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that 31.4 percent of fish stocks are either fished to capacity or over-fished.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Ff = 839.05 N

Explanation:

We can use the equation:

Ff = μ*N

where <em>N</em> can be obtained as follows:

∑ Fc = m*ac ⇒ N - F = m*ac = m*ω²*R ⇒ N = F + m*ω²*R

then if

F = 32 N

m = 133 Kg

R = 0.635 m

ω = 95 rev /min = (95 rev / min)(2π rad / 1 rev)(1 min / 60 s) = 9.9484 rad /s

we get

N = 32 N + (133 Kg)*(9.9484 rad /s)²*(0.635 m) = 8390.53 N

Finally

Ff = μ*N = 0.10*(8390.53 N) = 839.05 N

Elemental analysis of the unknown gas from part a revealed that it is 30.45% n and 69.55% o by mass. What is the molecular formu

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

the molecular formula for the gas is NO₂

Explanation:

since it contains

Nitrogen = n → 30.45%

Oxygen = o → 69.55%

and 30.45%+69.55% = 100% , then the gas only contains nitrogen and oxygen

Also we know that the proportion of oxygen over nitrogen is

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = moles of oxygen / moles of nitrogen

since

moles = mass / molecular weight

then for a sample of 100 gr of the unknown gas

mass of oxygen = 69.55%*100 gr = 69.55 gr

mass of Nitrogen = 30.45%*100 gr = 30.45 gr

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = (mass of oxygen/ molecular weight)/(mass of nitrogen / molecular weight of nitrogen ) = (69.55 gr/ 16 gr/mol) /( 30.45 gr /14 gr/mol) = 1.998 mol of O/ mol of N≈ 2 mol of O/ mol of N

therefore there are 2 atoms of oxygen per atom of nitrogen

thus the molecular formula for the gas is:

NO₂

How to solve number 10

Vinil7 [7]

The 'formulas' to use are just the definitions of 'power' and 'work':

Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)

and

Work = (force) x (distance) .

Combine these into one. Take the definition of 'Work', and write it in place of 'work' in the definition of power.

Power = (force x distance) / (time)

From the sheet, we know the power, the distance, and the time. So we can use this one formula to find the force.

Power = (force x distance) / (time)

Multiply each side by (time): (Power) x (time) = (force) x (distance)

Divide each side by (distance): Force = (power x time) / (distance).

Look how neat, clean, and simple that is !

Force = (13.3 watts) x (3 seconds) / (4 meters)

Force = (13.3 x 3 / 4) (watt-seconds / meter)

Force = 39.9/4 (joules/meter)

<em>Force = 9.975 Newtons</em>

Is that awesome or what !
