Why is Florida more vulnerable to the effects of climate change?

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of Florida, the land surface is also sinking. If the oceans and atmosphere continue to warm, sea level along the Florida coast is likely to rise one to four feet in the next century. Rising sea level submerges wetlands and dry land, erodes beaches, and exacerbates coastal flooding.

A bullet is fired horizontally from a handgun at a target 100.0 m away. If the initial speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The distance is 0.53 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Target distance = 100.0 m

Speed of bullet = 300 m/s

We need to calculate the total time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{100.0}{300}$

$t=0.33\ sec$

Now, consider vertical motion of bullet.

Initial velocity of bullet in vertical direction = 0 m/s

We need to calculate the vertically distance

Using equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value in the equation

$s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(0.33)^2$

$s=0.53\ m$

Hence, The distance is 0.53 m.

A child whirls a 3.00 kg ball on a string .50 m from the axis of rotation in a horizontal circle. The ball makes 1 revolution in

melamori03 [73]

Answers:

a) $0.5 m/s^{2}$

b) $1.5 N$

Explanation:

a) The centripetal acceleration $a_{c}$ of an object moving in a uniform circular motion is given by the following equation:

$a_{c}=\omega^{2} r$

Where:

$\omega=1 \frac{rev}{s}$ is the angular velocity of the ball

$r=0.5 m$ is the radius of the circular motion, which is equal to the length of the string

Then:

$a_{c}=(1 \frac{rev}{s})^{2} 0.5 m$

$a_{c}=0.5 m/s^{2}$ This is the centripetal acceleration of the ball

b) On the other hand, in this circular motion there is a force (centripetal force $F$ ) that is directed towards the center and is equal to the tension ( $T$ ) in the string:

$F=T=m. a_{c}$

Where $m=3 kg$ is the mass of the ball

Hence:

$T=(3 kg)(0.5 m/s^{2})$

$T=1.5 N$ This is the tension in the string

A proton is initially at rest. After some time, a uniform electric field is turned on and the proton accelerates. The magnitude

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

a) 8.83*10⁵ m/s b) 2.80*10⁶ m/s

Explanation:

a) Assuming no other forces acting on the proton, the acceleration on it is produced by the electric field.

By definition, the force due to the electric field is as follows:

F = q*E = e*E (1)

where e is the elementary charge, the charge carried by only one proton, and is e = 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C.

According to Newton's 2nd law, this force is at the same time, the product of the mass of the proton, times the acceleration a:

F = mp*a (2)

From (1) and(2), being left sides equal, right sides must be equal too:

$F = e*E = mp*a$

Solving for a:

$a = \frac{e*E}{mp} =\frac{1.6e-19C*1.36e5N/C}{1.67e-27kg} =1.3e13 m/s2$

⇒ a = 1.3*10¹³ m/s²

As we have the value of a (which is constant due to the field is uniform), the displacement x, and we know that the initial velocity is 0, in order to get the value of the speed, we can use the following kinematic equation:

$vf^{2} -vo^{2} = 2*a*x$

Replacing by v₀ = 0, a= 1.3*10¹³ m/s² and x = 0.03 m, we can find vf as follows:

$vf =\sqrt{2*(1.3e13 m/s2)*0.03m} = 8.83e5 m/s$

⇒ vf = 8.83*10⁵ m/s

b) We can just repeat the equation from above, replacing x=0.03 m by x=0.3 m, as follows:

$vf =\sqrt{2*(1.3e13 m/s2)*0.3m} = 2.80e6 m/s$

⇒ vf = 2.80*10⁶ m/s
