Answer : False.

Explanation : Acid rain is the indirect result of burning fossil fuels. As the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels releases sulfur dioxide and nitrous dioxide in the air. When it rains it gets mixed with water and forms nitric acid and sulfuric acid which causes acid rain. Acid rain is harmful.

lesya [120]

Answer:

Explanation:

v = u +at

u = 0

a = 2.3 m /s²

t = 20 s

v = 2.3 x 20

= 46 m /s

Distance covered under acceleration of 2.3 m/s²

s = ut + 1/2 at²

= 0 + .5 x 2.3 x 20²

= 460 m

After that it moves under free fall ie g acts on it downwards .

v² = u² - 2gh , h is height moved by it under free fall

0 = 46² - 2 x 9.8 h

h = 107.96 m

Total height attained

= 460 + 107.96

= 567.96 m

b ) At its highest point ,it stops so its velocity = 0

c ) rocket's acceleration at its highest point = g = 9.8 downwards .

At highest point , it is undergoing free fall so its acceleration = g

A rocket starting from its launch pad is subjected to a uniform acceleration of 100 meters/second2. Determine the time needed to

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

10s

Explanation:

Acceleration is a measure of a rate of change of velocity, or in other words, a measure of how quickly the velocity is changing.

If acceleration is constant, then the velocity is changing by a constant amount.

With an acceleration of 100 m/s^2, starting from the launching pad (and thus, an initial velocity of zero), we can calculate how long it will take to reach a final velocity of 1000m/s with the following formula:

$v=at+v_o$ where "v" is the final velocity at some later time "t", "a" is the constant acceleration, and "v" sub-zero is the initial velocity.

$v=at+v_o$

$(1000\text{ [m/s]})=(100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2] )t+(0\text{ [m/s]})$

$1000\text{ [m/s]}=100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2] *t$

$\dfrac{1000\text{ [m/s]}}{100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2]}=\dfrac{100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2] *t}{100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2]}$

$10\text{ [s]}=t$

So, it will take 10 seconds for the rocket to reach 1000m/s when starting from the launching pad, with a constant velocity of 100m/s^2.

<u>Verification:</u>

In this situation, it is quick to verify that 10 seconds is correct by looking at what the velocities will be each second.

Recognizing that the acceleration is $a=\dfrac{100 [\frac{m}{s}]}{1[s]}$ , the velocity increases by 100 units [m/s] every second.

At time 0[s], the velocity is 0[m/s]

At time 1[s], the velocity is 100[m/s]

At time 2[s], the velocity is 200[m/s]

At time 3[s], the velocity is 300[m/s]

At time 4[s], the velocity is 400[m/s]

At time 5[s], the velocity is 500[m/s]

At time 6[s], the velocity is 600[m/s]

At time 7[s], the velocity is 700[m/s]

At time 8[s], the velocity is 800[m/s]

At time 9[s], the velocity is 900[m/s]

At time 10[s], the velocity is 1000[m/s]

So, indeed, after 10 seconds, the velocity reaches 1000 m/s

An object of mass 30 kg is in free fall in a vacuum where there is no air resistance. Determine the acceleration of the object.

velikii [3]

Answer:

In free fall, mass is not relevant and there's no air resistance, so the acceleration the object is experimenting will be equal to the gravity exerted. If the object is falling on our planet, the value of gravity is approximately 9.81ms2 .
