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 grindstone increases in angular speed from 4.00 rad/s to 12.00 rad/s in 4.00 s. Through what angle does it turn during that

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

$\theta=32rad$

Explanation:

In an uniformly accelerated circular motion, the angle traveled by the object is given by:

$\theta=\frac{\omega_f+\omega_0}{2}t$

Here $\omega_f$ is the final angular speed, $\omega_0$ is the initial angular speed and t is the time of the motion. Replacing the given values:

$\theta=\frac{12\frac{rad}{s}+4\frac{rad}{s}}{2}(4s)\\\theta=32rad$

Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over two frictionless pulleys. The block of mass m2 is attached to a spri

irina1246 [14]

(BELOW YOU CAN FIND ATTACHED THE IMAGE OF THE SITUATION)

Answer:

$d=\frac{2g(m1-m2)}{k}$

Explanation:

For this we're going to use conservation of mechanical energy because there are nor dissipative forces as friction. So, the change on mechanical energy (E) should be zero, that means:

$E_{i}=E_{f}$

$K_{i}+U_{i}=K_{f}+U_{f}$ (1)

With $K_{i}$ the initial kinetic energy, $U_{i}$ the initial potential energy, $K_{f}$ the final kinetic energy and $U_{f}$ the final potential energy. Note that initialy the masses are at rest so $K_{i} = 0$ , when they are released the block 2 moves downward because m2>m1 and finally when the mass 2 reaches its maximum displacement the blocks will be instantly at rest so $K_{f} =0$ . So, equation (1) becomes:

$U_{i}=U_{f}$ (2)

At initial moment all the potential energy is gravitational because the spring is not stretched so $U_{i}=U_{gi}$ and at final moment we have potential gravitational energy and potential elastic energy so $U_{f}=U_{gf}+U_{ef}$ , using this on (2)

$U_{gi}=U_{gf}+U_{ef}$ (3)

Additional if we define the cero of potential gravitational energy as sketched on the figure below (See image attached), $U_{gi}=0$ and we have by (3) :

$0= U_{gf}+U_{ef}$ (4)

Now when the block 1 moves a distance d upward the block 2 moves downward a distance d too (to maintain a constant length of the rope) and the spring stretches a distance d, so (4) is:

$0=-m1gd+m2gd+\frac{kd^{2}}{2}$

dividing both sides by d

$0=-m1g+m2g+\frac{kd}{2}$

$g(m1-m2)= \frac{kd}{2}$

$d=\frac{2g(m1-m2)}{k}$ , with k the constant of the spring and g the gravitational acceleration.

An electric motor is rated at 900 W. How much force does it apply when moving

brilliants [131]

<h3>Answer: 7.74 newtons</h3>

========================================

Steps Shown:

Work = Force*Displacement

Power = Work/Time

Power = (Force*Displacement)/Time

900 W = (F*1000 m)/(8.6 sec)

900 = (F*1000)/8.6

900*8.6 = 1000F

7740 = 1000F

1000F = 7740

F = 7740/1000

F = 7.74 newtons

A boat is traveling with a velocity of 18 meters/second relative to water and the river is flowing at a velocity of 2.5 meters/s

ddd [48]

Vt = Vboat - Vriver
Vt = 18 - 2.5 = 15.5 m/s

If the boat's direction is the same as the water, you sum the velocities of the river and the boat .

If we were to illuminate them only with light from the Balmer transition considered above, would the solar panels produce a curr

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Explanation:

The reason why no current is produced are basically that, the wavelengths of light in the Balmer transition are reflected, not absorbed in solar panels, hence no current is produced.

The Balmer series consists of lines in the visible spectrum. It corresponds to emission of a photon of light when electrons descend from higher energy levels to the n=2 level in the hydrogen spectrum. The various wavelengths in the Balmer series can be separated by a prism since they are all in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

In solar panels, light corresponding to the wavelengths in the Balmer series is merely reflected by the panel and not absorbed. Since light is not absorbed, no current can be produced when the panel is irradiated with light corresponding to the wavelengths in the Balmer series.
