Shifting patterns of precipitation and increasing dryness will most likely lead to drought in these parts of the United States. Severe drought will adversely affect agriculture and will cause shortages in domestic water supplies. The increasing dryness will also increase the susceptibility of wild fires in this region. Wild fires threaten indigenous species, agriculture, property and human lives.

A vector starts at the point (0.0) and ends at (3,-3). What is the angle of the displacement?
Naily [24]

Answer:

135degrees

Explanation:

Given that a vector starts at the point (0.0) and ends at (3,-3)

y component value = -3

x component value = 3

angle of the displacement theta = arctan(y/x)

theta = arctan(-3/3)

theta = arctan (-1)

theta = -45degrees

Since tan is negative in the second quadrant

theta = 180 - 45

theta = 135degrees

Hence the angle of the displacement is 135degrees

Newton’s Second law of Motion (F = ma) is one of the basis of forces and motion. How is it very similar to his First law and why
koban [17]

Answer:

First law can be deduced from second law.

Acceleration may determine the position and velocity of the system.

Explanation:

When net force is zero, the second law is 0 = ma, or the motion is at constant speed. Thus first law establishes that when there are no forces, the object moves at constant speed, so first law is explained by using the second.

If you determine the acceleration of a system, you may use calculus or kinematic equations to determine velocity and position of the particle and determine how it moves. This is very important in mechanics and engineering, for example, for spacecrafts, forensic situations, etc.

HELP PLEASE NOWWWW !!!! ( 1 )   Jill and Scott both road their bikes for 30 minutes.  Jill traveled 5 kilometers and Scott trave
katovenus [111]

#1

Jill and Scott both moves for 30 minutes

now if Jill cover 5 km distance and Scott cover 10 km distance

now we know that the formula of speed is given as

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

now we will have

speed of Jill

v = \frac{5}{0.5} = 10 km/h

speed of Scott

v = \frac{10}{0.5} = 20 km/h

so correct answer here is

<em>Scott had the faster speed since he rode at 20 k/h while Jill only traveled 10 km/h.</em>

<em>#2</em>

distance travelled by each car is given as

d = 400 miles

now here it is given that

time taken by green car

t_1 = 10 hours

time taken by yellow car

t_2 = 8 hours

now we can find the speed of two cars

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

speed of green car

v = \frac{400}{10} = 40 mph

speed of yellow car

v = \frac{400}{8} = 50 mph

so correct answer will be

<em>The yellow car was faster.  Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.</em>

A 0.0550-kg ice cube at −30.0°C is placed in 0.400 kg of 35.0°C water in a very well-insulated container. What is the final temp
KatRina [158]

Answer:

19.34°C

Explanation:

When the ice cube is placed in the water, heat will be transferred from the hot water to it such that the heat gained (Q₁) by the ice is equal to the heat lost(Q₂) by the hot water and a final equilibrium temperature is reached between the melted ice and the cooling/cooled hot water. i.e

Q₁ = -Q₂                  ----------------------(i)

{A} Q₁ is the heat gained by the ice and it is given by the sum of ;

(i) the heat required to raise the temperature of the ice from -30°C to 0°C. This is given by [m₁ x c₁ x ΔT]

<em>Where;</em>

m₁ = mass of ice = 0.0550kg

c₁ = a constant called specific heat capacity of ice = 2108J/kg°C

ΔT₁ = change in the temperature of ice as it melts from -30°C to 0°C = [0 - (-30)]°C = [0 + 30]°C = 30°C

(ii) and the heat required to melt the ice completely - This is called the heat of fusion. This is given by [m₁ x L₁]

Where;

m₁ = mass of ice = 0.0550kg

L₁ = a constant called latent heat of fusion of ice = 334 x 10³J/kg

Therefore,

Q₁ = [m₁ x c₁ x ΔT₁] + [m₁ x L₁]        ------------------(ii)

Substitute the values of m₁, c₁, ΔT₁ and  L₁ into equation (ii) as follows;

Q₁ = [0.0550 x 2108 x 30] + [0.0550 x 334 x 10³]

Q₁ = [3478.2] + [18370]

Q₁ = 21848.2 J

{B} Q₂ is the heat lost by the hot water and is given by

Q₂ = m₂ x c₂ x ΔT₂                -----------------(iii)

Where;

m₂ = mass of water = 0.400kg

c₂ = a constant called specific heat capacity of water = 4200J/Kg°C

ΔT₂ = change in the temperature of water as it cools from 35°C to the final temperature of the hot water (T) = (T - 35)°C

Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;

Q₂ = 0.400 x 4200 x (T - 35)

Q₂ = 1680 x (T-35) J

{C} Now to get the final temperature, substitute the values of Q₁ and Q₂ into equation (i) as follows;

Q₁ = -Q₂

=> 21848.2 = - 1680 x (T-35)

=> 35 - T  = 21848.2 / 1680

=> 35 - T  = 13

=> T  = 35 - 13

=> T  = 22

Therefore the final temperature of the hot water is 22°C.

Now let's find the final temperature of the mixture.

The mixture contains hot water at 22°C and melted ice at 0°C

At this temperature, the heat (Q_{W}) due to the hot water will be equal to the negative of the one (Q_{I}) due to the melted ice.

i.e

Q_{W} = -Q_{I}             -----------------(a)

Where;

Q_{I} = m_{I} x c_{I} x ΔT_{I}         [m_{I} = mass of ice, c_{I} = specific heat capacity of melted ice which is now water and ΔT_{I} = change in temperature of the melted ice]

and

Q_{W} = m_{W} x c_{W} x ΔT_{W}    

[m_{W} = mass of water, c_{W} = specific heat capacity of water and ΔT_{W} = change in temperature of the water]

Substitute the values of Q_{W} and Q_{I} into equation (a) as follows

m_{W} x c_{W} x ΔT_{W}   =  - m_{I} x c_{I} x ΔT_{I}

Note that c_{W} and c_{I} are the same since they are both specific heat capacities of water. Therefore, the equation above becomes;

m_{W} x ΔT_{W}   = -m_{I} x ΔT_{I}   -----------------------(b)

Now, let's analyse ΔT_{W} and ΔT_{I}. The final temperature (T_{F}) of the two kinds of water(melted ice and cooled water) are now the same.

=> ΔT_{W} = change in temperature of water = final temperature of water(T_{F}) - initial temperature of water(T_{IW})

ΔT_{W} = T_{F} - T_{IW}

Where;

T_{IW} = 22°C           [which is the final temperature of water before mixture]

=> ΔT_{I} = change in temperature of melted ice = final temperature of water(T_{F}) - initial temperature of melted ice (T_{II})

ΔT_{I} = T_{F} - T_{II}

T_{II} = 0°C     (Initial temperature of the melted ice)

Substitute these values into equation (b) as follows;

m_{W} x ΔT_{W}   =  - m_{I} x ΔT_{I}

0.400 x (T_{F} - T_{IW}) = -0.0550 x (T_{F} - T_{II})

0.400 x (T_{F} - 22) = -0.0550 x (T_{F} - 0)

0.400 x (T_{F} - 22) = -0.0550 x (T_{F})

0.400T_{F} - 8.8 = -0.0550T_{F}

0.400T_{F} + 0.0550T_{F} =  8.8  

0.455T_{F} = 8.8

T_{F} = 19.34°C

Therefore, the final temperature of the mixture is 19.34°C
