They grew up to that sound. They love the sound of that same traffic sound.

They are used to hearing city stuff. Not necessarily birds so they will wake up to a different sound

Answer:

probably B

Explanation:

it's not their job to sort out the cost of cleaning it up or worry about the public opinion. they should only make sure it doesn't happen again so they should find out why it happened

A wheel rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular acceleration of 2.0 rad/s2 starts from rest at t = 0. The wheel has

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

Explanation:

The total linear acceleration ( $a$ ) consist in two components, radial ( $a_{r}$ ) and tangential ( $a_{t}$ ), in meters per square second:

$a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r$ (1)

$a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r$ (2)

Since both components are orthogonal to each other, the total linear acceleration is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

$a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}$ (3)

Where:

$r$ - Radius of the wheel, in meters.

$\omega$ - Angular speed, in radians per second.

$\alpha$ - Angular acceleration, in radians per square second.

Given that wheel accelerates uniformly, we use the following kinematic equation:

$\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t$ (4)

Where:

$\omega_{o}$ - Initial angular speed, in radians per second.

$t$ - Time, in seconds.

If we know that $r = 0.1\,m$ , $\alpha = 2\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , $\omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $t = 0.60\,s$ , then the total linear acceleration is:

$\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t$

$\omega = 1.2\,\frac{rad}{s}$

$a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r$

$a_{r} = 0.144\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r$

$a_{t} = 0.2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}$

$a \approx 0.246\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

2. How have human activities and natural processes influenced the gradual or sudden change in global temperature? (You need a mi

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Human activities and natural processes have influenced the change in the global temperature by the following processes

1) Green house gas such as carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases produced by the combustion of fossil fuels the use of industrial chemicals, the production of coal, and natural gas

2) Deforestation which reduces the natural process of conversion of carbon dioxide to oxygen, thereby, increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

3) The accumulation of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere results in the trapping of heat in the atmosphere, causing the atmospheric temperature to rise

4) Changes in the amount of energy produced by the Sun can result in an increase or decrease in the atmospheric temperature

5) Volcanic activity that occurs at a sufficiently large scale can produce sulfur dioxide that blocks the rays of the Sun from reaching the Earth, resulting in a change of atmospheric temperature.
