Harvesting timber (wood) from a forest does not harm___________.

It does not harm the buildings or the cars in a nearby city. However, it does harm just about everything in the forest that's anywhere near the (former) tree.

Your answer would be soil. When you harvest timber (wood), you affect the wildlife around it, not the soil. Cutting down a tree won't make much of a difference to the soil underneath or around it.

Why would you expect the speed of light to be slightly less in the atmosphere then in a vacuum?

azamat

The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material

Explanation:

When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.

But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.

Which "spheres" are interacting when water evaporates from plants

Novay_Z [31]

The plant grows in the solid part of earth, the lithosphere. When water evaporates from the plant, it enters the hydrosphere, the portion if earth on kand and in the air that contains water. The atmosphere is part of the hydrosphere.

Which event is an example of condensation?

ale4655 [162]

Answer: D

If the fog disappears when the Sun comes out, then this is an example of condensation because:

the Sun actually dries up the fog, and it makes it into higher clouds.

Hope this helps you!

What is one difference between using a solar cell for electricity and using a windmill?

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Solar cell generates DC

Windmill generates AC

Explanation:

Solar cell generates DC from the panel, to use this DC for electricity it has to be passed to an inverter which convert DC to AC.

Windmill generates AC from the wind blades. This type of energy can be used directly with household appliances using AC, or passed to a rectifier to convert it to DC.

How would a spinning disk's kinetic energy change if its moment of inertia was five times larger but its angular speed was five

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of a spinning disk will be reduced to a tenth of its initial kinetic energy if its moment of inertia is made five times larger, but its angular speed is made five times smaller.

Explanation:

Let us first consider the initial characteristics of the angular motion of the disk

moment of inertia = $I$

angular speed = ω

For the second case, we consider the characteristics to now be

moment of inertia = $5I$ (five times larger)

angular speed = ω/5 (five times smaller)

Recall that the kinetic energy of a spinning body is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}Iw^{2}$

therefore,

for the first case, the K.E. is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}Iw^{2}$

and for the second case, the K.E. is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(5I)(\frac{w}{5} )^{2} = \frac{5}{50}Iw^{2}$

$KE = \frac{1}{10}Iw^{2}$

this is one-tenth the kinetic energy before its spinning characteristics were changed.

This implies that the kinetic energy of the spinning disk will be reduced to a tenth of its initial kinetic energy if its moment of inertia is made five times larger, but its angular speed is made five times smaller.
