Answer:

a. burning of fossil fuel

Explanation:

Greenhouse effect is the trapping of the sun infrared rays in the outermost layer of the earths atmosphere due to the accumulation of some harmful gasses. This gases depletes the ozone layer

The major contributor of greenhouse gases is the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxides are released into the atmosphere and leads to global warming and climatic changes per time

Rubbing both pieces cause each piece to have a negative charge.

When two parts have the same they repel each other, so holding one piece up tot he end of the other piece would push it away.

Because one piece is held in the middle by a string, it would rotate the piece in a circle.

If they held the piece to the other end of the one held by a string it would start to rotate in the opposite direction.

The vector product of vectors A⃗ and B⃗ has magnitude 12.0 m2 and is in the +z-direction.Vector A⃗ has magnitude 4.0 m and is in

g100num [7]

Answer:

θ=180°

Explanation:

The problem says that the vector product of A and B is in the +z-direction, and that the vector A is in the -x-direction. Since vector B has no x-component, and is perpendicular to the z-axis (as A and B are both perpendicular to their vector product), vector B has to be in the y-axis.

Using the right hand rule for vector product, we can test the two possible cases:

If vector B is in the +y-axis, the product AxB should be in the -z-axis. Since it is in the +z-axis, this is not correct.

If vector B is in the -y-axis, the product AxB should be in the +z-axis. This is the correct option.

Now, the problem says that the angle θ is measured from the +y-direction to the +z-direction. This means that the -y-direction has an angle of 180° (half turn).

A high diver of mass 51.7 kg steps off a board 10.0 m above the water and falls vertical to the water, starting from rest. If he

zmey [24]

Answer:

851.33 N

Explanation:

Using newton;s equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2gh ......... Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height

Given: u = 0 m/s(from rest), h = 10 m g = 9.8 m/s².

Substitute into equation 1

v² = 0² + 2(9.8)(10)

v² = 196

v = √196

v = 14 m/s.

Note: As the Diver touches the water, u = 14 m/s and v = 0 m/s( stopped)

Using,

d = (v+u)t/2 .............. equation 2

Where d = distance moved by the diver in water before its motion stopped, t = time taken before it comes to rest

Given: v = 0 m/s, u = 14 m/s t = 2.10 s

Substitute into equation 2

d = (0+14)2.1/2

d = 14.7 m.

Finally

work done by the water to stop the diver = potential energy of the diver

F×d = mgh'................Equation 3

Where F = force of the diver in water, d = distance of the diver in the water, m = mass of the diver, g = acceleration due to gravity, h' = height of the diver from the point of fall to the point where he comes to rest

making F the subject of the equation,

F = mgh/d ............ Equation 4

Given: m = 51.7 kg, h = 10 m, g = 9.8 m/s², d = 14.7 m.

Substitute into equation 4

F = 51.7(10+14.7)(9.8)/14.7

F = 851.33 N

Hence the upward force the water exert on her = 851.33 N

10. How much total work do you do when you lift a 50 kg microwave 1.0 m off the ground and then push it 1.0 m

Mariulka [41]

Work formula:

$W = Fd\cos(\theta)$

F = 50N, d = 1.0 m

When you lift something straight up, the angle of the force is 90º

cos(90º) is 0, so there's no work done when you lift the microwave off the ground

$W = (50N)(1.0)(0) = 0$

F = 50N, d = 1.0 m

When you push the microwave, the angle is 0º and cos(0º) is 1. So there is work done here:

$W = (50 N)(1.0m)(1)$

$W = 50$

total work = 50 joules

An object thrown vertically upward from the surface of a celestial body at a velocity of 36 m/s reaches a height of sequalsminu

Anarel [89]

Answer:

v = -1.8t+36

20 seconds

360 m

40 seconds

36 m/s

The object speed will increase when it is coming down from its highest height.

Explanation:

$s=-0.9t^2+36t$

Differentiating with respect to time we get

$\frac{ds}{dt}=-1.8t+36\\\Rightarrow v=-1.8t+36$

a) Velocity of the object after t seconds is v = -1.8t+36

At the highest point v will be 0

$0=-1.8t+36\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{-36}{-1.8}\\\Rightarrow t=20\ s$

b) The object will reach the highest point after 20 seconds

$s=-0.9t^2+36t\\\Rightarrow s=-0.9\times 20^2+36\times 20\\\Rightarrow s=360\ m$

c) Highest point the object will reach is 360 m

$s=-0.9t^2+36t\\\Rightarrow 360=-0.9t^2+36t\\\Rightarrow -0.9t^2+36t-360=0\\\Rightarrow -9t^2+360t-3600=0$

$\frac{-360\pm \sqrt{0}}{2\left(-9\right)}\\\Rightarrow t=20\ s$

d) Time taken to strike the ground would be 20+20 = 40 seconds

$[tex]v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+0.9\times 2\times 20\\\Rightarrow v=36\ m/s$

Acceleration will be taken as positive because the object is going down. Hence, the sign changes. 2 is multiplied because the expression is given in the form of $s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

e) The velocity with which the object strikes the ground will be 36 m/s

f) The speed will increase when the object has gone up and for 20 seconds and falls down for 20 seconds. The object speed will increase when it is coming down from its highest height.
