What is the relationship between environmental science and public policymakers?

1 answer:

4 0

In a simple sentence I would say using environmental science public policy maker would be able to create policies on environmental issues such as littering,recycling specific items/reusing,not wasting excess energy,ect.

blagie [28]

Answer:

a-1 Graph is attached. The relation is linear.

a-2 The corresponding height for 68 kPa Pressure is 7.54 m

a-3 The corresponding weight for 68 kPa Pressure is 1394726kg

b The original height of the column is 5.98 m

Explanation:

Part a

a-1

The graph is attached with the solution. The relation is linear as indicated by the line.

a-2

By the equation

$P=\rho \times g \times h$

Here

P is the pressure which is given as 68 kPa.
ρ is the density of the oil whose SG is 0.92. It is calculated as

$\rho=S.G \times \rho_{water}\\\rho=0.92 \times 1000 kg/m^3\\\rho=920 kg/m^3\\$

g is the gravitational constant whose value is 9.8 m/s^2
h is the height which is to be calculated

$P=\rho \times g \times h\\h=\frac{P}{\rho \times g}\\h=\frac{68 \times 10^3}{920 \times 9.8}\\h=7.54m$

So the height of column is 7.54m

a-3

By the relation of volume and density

$M=\rho \times V$

Here

ρ is the density of the oil which is 920 kg/m^3
V is the volume of cylinder with diameter 16m calculated as follows

$V=\pi r^2h\\V=3.14\times (8)^2 \times 7.54\\V=1515.23 m^3$

Mass is given as

$M=\rho \times V\\M=920 \times 1515.23\\M=1394726kg$

So the mass of oil leading to 68kPa is 1394726kg

Part b

Pressure variation is given as

$\Delta P=P_{obs}-P_{atm}\\\Delta P=115-101 kPa\\\Delta P=14 kPa\\$

Now corrected pressure is as

$P_c=P_g-\Delta P\\P_c=68-14 kPa\\P_c=54 kPa$

Finding the value of height for this corrected pressure as

$P_c=\rho \times g \times h\\h=\frac{P_c}{\rho \times g}\\h=\frac{54 \times 10^3}{920 \times 9.8}\\h=5.98m$

The original height of column is 5.98m

Which of the following is a field (action-at-a-distance) force?

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

$F_{grav}$ is a field force, as gravity does not physically apply force and does not require proximity.

Astronomers can now report that active star formation was going on at a time when the universe was only 20% as old as it is toda

disa [49]

Answer:

First, as you may know, the light travels at a given velocity.

In vaccum, this velocity is c = 3x10^8 m/s.

And we know that:

distance = velocity*time

Now, if some object (like a star ) is really far away, the light that comes from that star may take years to reach the Earth.

This means that the images that the astronomers see today, actually happened years and years ago (So the night sky is like a picture of the "past" of the universe)

Also, for example, if an astronomer sees some particular thing, he can apply a model (a "simplification" of some phenomena that is used to simplify it an explain it) and with the model, the scientist can infer the information of the given thing some time before it was seen.

How does the suns energy contribute to the carbon cycle

netineya [11]

Answer:

Plants are a good starting point when looking at the carbon cycle on Earth. Plants have a process called photosynthesis that enables them to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and combine it with water. Using the energy of the Sun, plants make sugars and oxygen molecules.

Label the producers and consumers, then label the different types of consumers.

sdas [7]

The base of the pyramid has the producers and everything else above the base falls under the consumers category i.e the locusts,frogs and the snake. The grass is the producer, the locust is a consumer, the frog is a special type of omnivore, termed the "life-history omnivore" since they eat both plants and animals but at different times in their lives. In this case they are just omnivores and lastly, the snake is a carnivore.
