A. overgrazing of livestock

Explanation:

Overgrazing of livestock is the ranch practice that contributes to soil erosion.

Soil erosion is the washing away of the top layer of the earth on which plant grows.

Plants are covers of the earth and they prevent agents of denudation from actively washing away the soil.
When livestock are introduced into a place, continuous grazing leaves the surface bare.
The plants becomes depleted and the surface is exposed.
This fast tracks the process of overgrazing.

A speeding motorist traveling with velocity Vm is spotted by a police car. The police car is initially at rest, but the instant

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Let us suppose police car and motorist travel in straight line and police car catches motorist after s distance

Distance travel by motorist

$s=v_mt$ ----1

Distance traveled by Police car

$s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}$

$s=0+\frac{a_pt^2}{2}$

$s=\frac{a_pt^2}{2}$ ----2

from 1 & 2 we get

$t=\frac{2v_m}{a_p}$

(a)Velocity of Police car after t sec

$v=u+a_pt$

$v=0+a_p\times \frac{2v_m}{a_p}$

$v=2v_m$

(b)time taken by police car is

$t=\frac{2v_m}{a_p}$

(c)Distance travel by police car $=\frac{2v_m^2}{a_p}$

If the velocity of a moving object decreases from 60 m/s to 30 m/s, what happens to its momentum?

amid [387]

Hello!

momentum is p=mv so if the velocity is decreased by a factor of 2, which is 1/2 the value, then the momentum of that object will decrease by the same factorial.

Hope this helps, any questions please ask. Thank you!

A ball with an initial velocity of 8.00 m/s rolls up a hill without slipping. (a) Treating the ball as a spherical shell, calcul

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Part i)

h = 5.44 m

Part ii)

h = 3.16 m

Explanation:

Part i)

Since the ball is rolling so its total kinetic energy in this case will convert into gravitational potential energy

So we have

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = mgh$

here we know that for spherical shell and pure rolling conditions

$v = R \omega$

$I = \frac{2}{3}mR^2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{3}mR^2)(\frac{v^2}{R^2}) = mgh$

$\frac{5}{6}mv^2 = mgh$

$h = \frac{5v^2}{6g}$

$h = \frac{5(8^2)}{6(9.81)} = 5.44 m$

Part b)

If ball is not rolling and just sliding over the hill then in that case

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh$

$h = \frac{v^2}{2g}$

$h = \frac{8^2}{2(9.81)} = 3.16 m$

Things you can do with an environmental engineering major and a broadcasting minor?

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

With an Environmental Engineering and a broadcasting minor

You can work as an On Air personality that host programs that provide your audience with documentaries about the environments and project carried out by Environmental Engineer

and also you can work as a journalist that explore the world making research that will preserve the environment and leveraging the media as a broadcaster to provide this research findings as a video for you audience

Explanation:

In order to get a better understanding let define some terms

Environmental Engineer :

Environmental engineers resolve and help prevent environmental problems. They work in many areas, including air pollution control, industrial hygiene, toxic materials control, and land management. The duties of an environmental engineer range from planning and designing an effective waste treatment plant to studying the effects of acid rain on a particular area. An environmental engineer is sometimes required to work outdoors, though most of her work is done in a laboratory or office setting. Career opportunities for environmental engineers exist in consulting, research, corporate, and government positions.

Broadcasting:

Broadcasting is the distribution of audio or video content to a dispersed audience via any electronic mass communications medium, but typically one using the electromagnetic spectrum (radio waves), in a one-to-many model.
