Humans consume resources and produce waste. As the human population grows, global consumption of resources and waste production

increases. The waste generated often collects in dumping grounds called landfills. How does increased production of waste by humans affect Earth’s ecosystems?
A. Waste generation reduces the amount of soil erosion on land.
B. Waste generation increases the amount of land available to plants and animals.
C. Waste generation increases the amount of soil cover on land.
D. Waste generation reduces the amount of land available to animals and plants.

Answer : D

Reason : The more waste being brought into an area the more waste being spread across the land.

Here, mA = 3.65 kg and mB = 7.05 kg. The string connecting the two objects is of negligible mass and the pulley is frictionless.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The magintude of the acceleration for both objects is $3.11m/s^2$

Explanation:

Drawing a free body diagram on the two boxes we can analyze the system more easily.

we can take the acceleration going up as positive for reference purposes.

for mA let's suppose that is ascending so:

$T_A-m_A*g=m_A*a$

and for mB (descending):

$T_B-m_B*g=-m_B*a$

$T_A=T_B$

because the two boxes has the same acceleration because they are attached together:

$m_B*g-m_B*a-m_a*g=m_a*a\\(m_B-m_A)*g=(m_a+m_B)*a\\a=\frac{(7.05kg-3.65kg)*9.8m/s^2}{3.65kg+7.05kg}\\\\a=3.11m/s^2$

So the magintude of the acceleration for both objects is $3.11m/s^2$

A train has an acceleration of magnitude 0.90 m/s2 while stopping. A pendulum with a 0.55-kg bob is attached to a ceiling of one

anygoal [31]

The angle of the pendulum with the vertical is $5.2^{\circ}$

Explanation:

As the train decelerates, the bob of the pendulum will feel a force given by

$F=ma$

where

m = 0.55 kg is the mass of the bob

$a=0.9 m/s^2$ is the magnitude of the acceleration

In the horizontal direction.

The pendulum will be inclined at an angle $\theta$ from the vertical, so it will be in equilibrium, and therefore the horizontal component of the tension in the string must be equal to the net force F of the previous equation:

$T sin \theta = ma$ (1)

where T is the tension in the string.

We also know that the bob is in equilibrium along the vertical direction: so the vertical component of the tension must be equal to the weight of the bob,

$T cos \theta = mg$ (2)

where $g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity.

Dividing eq.(1) by eq(2), we get:

$tan \theta = \frac{a}{g}$

And therefore, we find the angle:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{a}{g})=tan^{-1}(\frac{0.90}{9.8})=5.2^{\circ}$

Para fabricar la bicicleta de un niño pequeño se tiene en cuenta que la fuerza que puede desarrollar es menor que la de un adult

Georgia [21]

Answer:

a) El piñón debe tener 20 dientes.

b) La bicicleta avanza aproximadamente 1,759 metros por cada pedaleada completa.

Explanation:

a) El plato es el engranaje más grande que forma parte del sistema de transmisión, acompañando a la cadena y el piñón integrado a la rueda trasera. Asumiendo que no existen pérdidas por fricción seca y que las condiciones de lubricación del sistema de transmisión son óptimas tal que las pérdidas de potencia son despreciables. Además, supongamos que la bicicleta viaja a velocidad constante, entonces tenemos la siguiente identidad mediante las definiciones de trabajo y potencia:

$T_{P}\cdot \omega_{P} = T_{p}\cdot \omega_{p}$ (1)

Donde:

$T_{P}$ - Torque del plato, en newton-metros.

$T_{p}$ - Torque del piñón, en newton-metros.

$\omega_{p}$ - Rapidez angular del piñón, en radianes por segundo.

$\omega_{P}$ - Rapidez angular del plato, en radianes por segundo.

Sabiendo el hecho que tanto el plato y el piñón experimenta la misma velocidad tangencial, podemos simplificar (1) como sigue:

$\frac{T_{P}}{R_{P}} = \frac{T_{p}}{R_{p}}$ (1b)

Puesto que el radio de cada elemento y el número de dientes son, por separado, directamente proporcionales al número de dientes, modificamos (1b) así y tenemos la siguiente identidad, la cual equivale a su vez a la razón de desarrollo:

$\frac{T_{P}}{T_{p}} = \frac{N_{P}}{N_{p}} = \frac{R_{P}}{R_{p}} = \frac{\omega_{p}}{\omega_{P}}$ (1c)

Donde:

$N_{p}$ - Número de dientes del piñón, sin unidad.

$N_{P}$ - Número de dientes del plato, sin unidad.

Si tenemos que $r = 1,4$ y $N_{P} = 28$ , entonces tenemos que el número de dientes del piñón es:

$r = \frac{N_{P}}{N_{p}}$

$N_{p} = \frac{N_{P}}{r}$

$N_{p} = \frac{28}{1,4}$

$N_{p} = 20$

El piñón debe tener 20 dientes.

b) De acuerdo con la relación de desarrollo, por cada revolución realizada por el plato, el piñón realiza 1,4 revoluciones. Entonces, el avance realizado por la rueda trasera ( $s$ ), en metros, es igual al productor de la relación de desarrollo y la circunferencia de la rueda, es decir:

$s = r\cdot 2\pi\cdot R$ (1)

Donde $R$ es el radio de la rueda trasera, en metros.

Si conocemos que $r = 1,4$ y $R = 0,2\,m$ , entonces el avance realizado por la rueda trasera es:

$s = r\cdot 2\pi\cdot R$

$s = (1,4)\cdot (2\pi)\cdot (0,2\,m)$

$s \approx 1,759 \,m$

La bicicleta avanza aproximadamente 1,759 metros por cada pedaleada completa.

A copper rod is 0.450 m long. Heat is added to the rod until it expands by 0.00130 m. How much did the temperature change? (Unit

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

$170^{\circ} C$

Explanation:

Using the constants of copper as provided in the attached figure

We know that the change in length

$\triangle L= L\triangle T \alpha$

Where $\triangle l$ is the change in length, L is the original length, $\triangle T$ is the change in temperature and $\alpha$ is a constant already given (attached)

Making $\triangle T$ the subject then

$\triangle T=\frac {\triangle L}{L \alpha}$

By substitution

$\triangle T=\frac {0.00130 m}{0.450 m \times 17\times 10^{-6}}=169.9346405
^{\circ} C\approx 170^{\circ} C$
