Out of the following given choices;

A) It is always difficult to get a project like this approved. This study will help them convince the local community to support the project.

B) If they do not perform the study, and there is a problem during the dredging project, the media could make them look bad.

C)The study will weigh the benefits against the negative impacts so an informed decision can be made.

D)The study will demonstrate the local government's concern for the community's safety.


The answer is; C

Dredging can have a negative impact on the marine environment. Destruction of this ecosystem could have reverberating effects that affect the communities that rely on this ecosystem for livelihoods, such as fishermen. An environmental and feasibility study will help weigh the benefits and demerits of the project and allow for an informed decision to be made.

An airplane is moving at 350 km/hr. If a bomb is
bogdanovich [222]

Answers:

a) -171.402 m/s  

b) 17.49 s

c) 1700.99 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

y=y_{o}+V_{oy}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (1)

x=V_{ox}t (2)

V_{f}=V_{oy}-gt (3)

Where:

y=0 m is the bomb's final height

y_{o}=1.5 km \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=1500 m is the bomb's initial height

V_{oy}=0 m/s is the bomb's initial vertical velocity, since the airplane was moving horizontally

t is the time

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

x is the bomb's range

V_{ox}=350 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km} \frac{1 h}{3600 s}=97.22 m/s is the bomb's initial horizontal velocity

V_{f} is the bomb's final velocity

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h3>b) Time </h3>

With the conditions given above, equation (1) is now written as:

y_{o}=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (4)

Isolating t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}} (5)

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (1500 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} (6)

t=17.49 s (7)

<h3>a) Final velocity </h3>

Since V_{oy}=0 m/s, equation (3) is written as:

V_{f}=-gt (8)

V_{f}=-(97.22)(17.49 s) (9)

V_{f}=-171.402 m/s (10) The negative sign only indicates the direction is downwards

<h3>c) Range </h3>

Substituting (7) in (2):

x=(97.22 m/s)(17.49 s) (11)

x=1700.99 m (12)

In your own words, answer the following 3 questions about an object experiencing red shift? 1. Describe the motion of an object
german

1.  When an object is moving away from us, the light from the object is known as redshift, and when an object is moving towards us, the light from the object is known as blueshift.

2.  A wavelength increases in size, and its frequency, and energy decrease.

3.  The frequency of a wave increases, and its wavelength decreases.

Redshift is an important term for astronomers. The term can be taken literally. The wavelengths of light are stretched and perceived as shifting toward the red portion of the spectrum. The same thing happens to sound waves when the source moves relative to the observer.

As the wave frequency decreases, the wavelength increases as long as the wave velocity remains constant. If the wave speed stays the same as the frequency decreases, it means that fewer wave peaks or troughs pass through a given point in a given time period. The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency. Frequency and energy decrease with increasing wavelength.
