Answer:

Due to the generation of carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Climate change occurs due to global warming generated by greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide is the gas that does not leave or allow solar radiation from the sun to rise from the Earth's surface, increasing the average temperature of the planet.

Burning fossil fuels for energy generation such as coal is another source of carbon dioxide generation. The generation of energy should be directed towards the production of renewable energies, using sources such as solar and wind energy.

A rocket is dropped out of an airplane at 100 m/s (downward). If the rocket fires causing an upward acceleration of Ct2 and it t

Mkey [24]

Answer:

C = 0.0125 m/s⁴. The calculation procedure can be found in the attachment below. The concept of motion along a straight line with constant acceleration has been applied to solve the problem.

Explanation:

The sign convention chosen in this problem solution is upwards as positive and downwards negative. The equation of motion v = u + at has been used to calculate the constant C as only one unknown is contained in this equation. This is so because we have been given the initial velocity, the acceleration and the time taken. To solve future problems of this kind, first thing to check for is an equation of motion with the least number of unknown. This helps to reduce the complexity of the problem solution.

9. A wave on Beaver Dam Lake passes by two docks that are 40.0 m apart.

Kobotan [32]

Answers:

a) 10 m

b) time=1.6 s, frquency=0.625 Hz

c) 6.25 m/s

Explanation:

a) If there is a crest at each dock and another three crests between the two docks, and the wavelength $\lambda$ is the distance between to crests; this means we have $4\lambda$ in $40 m$ :

$40 m=4\lambda$

Clearing $\lambda$ :

$\lambda=\frac{40 m}{4}$

$\lambda=10 m$

b) This part can be solved by a Rule of Three:

If 10 waves ---- 16 s

1 wave ----- $T$

Then:

$T=\frac{(1 wave)(16 s)}{10 waves}$

$T=1.6 s$ This is the period of the wave

On the other hand, the frequency $f$ of the wave has an inverse relation with its period $T$ :

$f=\frac{1}{T}$

$f=\frac{1}{1.6 s}$

$f=0.625 Hz$ This is the frequency of the wave

c) The speed $v$ of a wave is given by the following equation:

$v=\frac{\lambda}{T}$

$v=\frac{10 m}{1.6 s}$

Finally:

$v=6.25 m/s$

SashulF [63]

Answer:

B. +5.75 m/s

Explanation:

When there are two bodies, a and b, whose velocities measured by a third observer (in this case, the ground) are $V_a$ and $V_b$ respectively, the relative velocity of B with respect to A is given by:
