Why air pollution is a problem?

1 answer:

8 0

1. Air pollution is a problem because it can cause damage to animals, trees, plants, crops and water sources in the environment. Pollution in the air causes problems for aviation because it reduces visibility, while also being responsible for damaging buildings and other structures.
2. The air we breathe has a very exact chemical composition; 99 percent of it is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor and inert gases. Air pollution occurs when things that aren't normally there are added to the air. A common type of air pollutionhappens when people release particles into the air from burning fuels.
3. Pollution prevention (P2) is any practice that reduces, eliminates, or prevents pollution at its source. ... Reducing the amount of pollution produced means less waste to control, treat, or dispose of. Less pollution means less hazards posed to public health and the environment.
4. Why is it so important to have clean air?

A 3.0-kg cart is rolling across a frictionless, horizontal track toward a 1.3-kg cart that is held initially at rest. The carts

Karolina [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Momentum of first cart = mass x velocity

= 3 x 4.6 =+13.8 kg m /s

Momentum of second cart = 1.3 x - 1.9 = - 2.47 kg m /s

Total momentum = 13.8 - 2.47

= +11.33 kg m /s

b )

Let the velocity of first cart be v at the moment when second cart was at rest

total momentum = 3 x v + 0 = 3 v

Applying conservation of momentum law

3 v = +11.33

v = +3.77 m /s

43 kg bear slides, from rest, 15 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 5.5 m/s just before hitting the ground. (a

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

-6327.45 Joules

650.375 Joules

378.47166 N

Explanation:

h = Height the bear slides from = 15 m

m = Mass of bear = 43 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v = Velocity of bear = 5.5 m/s

f = Frictional force

Potential energy is given by

$P=mgh\\\Rightarrow P=43\times -9.81\times 15\\\Rightarrow P=-6327.45\ J$

Change that occurs in the gravitational potential energy of the bear-Earth system during the slide is -6327.45 Joules

Kinetic energy is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 43\times 5.5^2\\\Rightarrow K=650.375\ J$

Kinetic energy of the bear just before hitting the ground is 650.375 Joules

Change in total energy is given by

$\Delta E=fh=-(\Delta K+\Delta P)\\\Rightarrow fh=-(650.375-6327.45)\\\Rightarrow fh=5677.075\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{5677.075}{h}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{5677.075}{15}\\\Rightarrow f=378.47166\ N$

The frictional force that acts on the sliding bear is 378.47166 N
