Because plastic products are durable, they can last for a long time. This makes them affordable because they do not have to be replaced often. On the other hand, the popular use of plastics means that many plastics are thrown away. Plastics litter the ocean, causing harm to marine birds and mammals. Plastic breaks down into plastic dust, which can last for up to a thousand years.

Energy of fossil fuel is also derived from solar energy why​
zzz [600]

Explanation:

All the energy in oil, gas, and coal originally came from the sun captured through photosynthesis. In the same way that we burn wood to release energy that trees capture from the sun, we burn fossil fuels to release the energy that ancient plants captured from the sun.

Which of the following expenses will most likely be the most expensive?
Jlenok [28]
Option B makes the most sense. Option A is something you acquire, it wouldn't really cost anything. Utilities usually do not cost more than housing. Savings are subjective, dependent on the person. So option B.
Hope it helps!

A car leaves an intersection traveling west. Its position 4 sec later is 21 ft from the intersection. At the same time, another
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

15.8 ft/s

Explanation:

\frac{da}{dt} = Velocity of car A = 9 ft/s

a = Distance car A travels = 21 ft

\frac{db}{dt} = Velocity of car B = 13 ft/s

b = Distance car B travels = ft

c = Distance between A and B after 4 seconds = √(a²+b²) = √(21²+28²) = √1225 ft

From Pythagoras theorem

a²+b² = c²

Now, differentiating with respect to time

2a\frac{da}{dt}+2b\frac{db}{dt}=2c\frac{dc}{dt}\\\Rightarrow a\frac{da}{dt}+b\frac{db}{dt}=c\frac{dc}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=\frac{a\frac{da}{dt}+b\frac{db}{dt}}{c}\\\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=\frac{21\times 9+28\times 13}{\sqrt{1225}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=15.8\ ft/s

∴ Rate at which distance between the cars is increasing three hours later is 15.8 ft/s

The atomic mass number of copper is A=64. Assume that atoms in solid copper form a cubic crystal lattice. To envision this, imag
Stells [14]

Answer:

<em>0.228 nm</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Atomic mass number of copper = 64

but an atomic mass unit = 1.66 x 10^-27 kg

therefore, the mass of the copper atom m = 64 x 1.66 x 10^-27 kg = 1.06 x 10^-25 kg

The number of atoms in this mass n = ρ/m

where ρ is the density of copper = 8.96 x 10^3 kg/m^3

==> n = (8.96 x 10^3)/(1.06 x 10^-25) = 8.45 x 10^28 atoms/m^3

We know that the volume occupied by this amount of atoms n = a^{3}

where a is the lattice constant

equating, we have

8.45 x 10^28 = a^{3}

a = 4.389 x 10^9

we also know that

d =  1/a

where d is the smallest distance between the two copper atom.

d = 1/(4.389 x 10^9) = 2.28 x 10^-10 m

==> <em>0.228 nm</em>
