Answer: Environmental engineer

Explanation:

Environmental engineering can be defined as the area where impact of human activities on environment takes place.

Human activities as mining, deforestation, building dams has huge impact on the environment.

This is studied under environmental engineering. This subject also allows to find solution for the problems associated with the impact of human activities on environment.

Greg is in a car at the top of a roller-coaster ride. The distance, d, of the car from the ground as the car descends is determi

Talja [164]

The solution to the problem is as follows:

<span>Average = 80
So Sum = 80 * 5 = 400
Mode = 88, so two results are 88 (if three results were 88, then the median would be 88).
Three results are 81, 88, and 88.
That leaves 143. We could still have one 81 score, so that leaves the lowest score as 62.

Greg is in a car at the top of a roller-coaster ride. The distance, d, of the car from the ground as the car descends is determined by the equation d = 144 - 16t2, where t is the number of seconds it takes the car to travel down to each point on the ride. How many seconds will it take Greg to reach the ground?
d = 144 - 16t2
0 = 144 - 16t2
16t^2=144
t^2=9
t=3</span>

E14. A ball rolls off a table with a horizontal velocity of 5 m/s. If

Shkiper50 [21]

a) Vertical velocity: 5.9 m/s

b) Horizontal velocity: 5 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction)

- A uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration) along the vertical direction

Here we want to find the vertical component of the ball's velocity. This can be done by using the suvat equation for the vertical motion:

$v_y = u_y +gt$

where:

$v_y$ is the vertical velocity at time t

$u_y=0$ is the initial vertical velocity (zero because the ball has been thrown horizontally)

$g=10 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity (here we take downward as positive direction)

Substituting t = 0.6 s, which is the total time of flight, we find the vertical velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground:

$v_y=0+(9.8)(0.6)=5.9 m/s$

The motion along the vertical direction is an accelerated motion, because there is a force (the force of gravity) acting on the ball and that it causes an acceleration in the ball.

However, there are no forces acting in the horizontal direction on the ball (if we neglect the air resistance): this means that the acceleration of the ball in the horizontal direction is zero.

As a consequence, this also means that the horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant during the motion.

Since the ball was thrown from the table with an initial horizontal velocity of 5 m/s, this means that the horizontal velocity of the ball just before it hits the floor is still

$v_x = 5 m/s$

If the value of static friction for a couch is 400N, what could be a possible value of its kinetic friction? *

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

kinetic friction may be greater than 400 N or smaller than 400 N

Explanation:

As we know that maximum value of static friction on the rough surface is known as limiting friction and the formula of this limiting friction is known as

$F_s = \mu_s N$

now when object is sliding on the rough surface then the friction force on that surface is known as kinetic friction and the formula of kinetic friction is known as

$F_k = \mu_k N$

now we know that

$\mu_k < \mu_s$

so here value of limiting static friction force is always more than kinetic friction

also we know that

initially when body is at rest then static friction value will lie from 0 N to maximum limiting friction

and hence kinetic friction may be greater than static friction or if the static friction is maximum limiting friction then kinetic friction is smaller than static friction

so kinetic friction may be greater than 400 N or smaller than 400 N
