Maggie is a member of her school’s environmental club and is interested in recycling. She asks the question, “How does exposure

to the environment affect recyclable plastics?”
What best describes why and how Maggie should change her question to make it a better scientific question?

Plastics are marked as the most important factor in degrading of environment about three to five hundred years to decompose completely hence the more production of plastic the more is the adverse effect on the environment. Using recyclables plastic can decrease the production of plastic on daily basis thereby  decreasing certain quantity of plastic that is present in the environment.

Hence maggie’s question should be reconstructed to form a scientific question in this way. How can using recyclable plastic reduce its exposure in environment?

A 2.5 kg block is launched along the ground by a spring with a spring constant of 56 N/m. The spring is initially compressed 0.7
Norma-Jean [14]

vf ^2 = kx^2/m = 56(0.75)^2 / 2.5 = 12.6


Therefore, v= 3.5 m/s.

A tomato of mass 0.18 kg is dropped from a tall bridge. If the tomato has a speed of 11 m/s just before it hits the ground, what
kondor19780726 [428]
The kinetic energy of the tomato is : 

K.E =  1/2 mv^2

K.E = 1/2 x 0.18 kg x 11 m/S^2

K.E = 0.99

Hope this helps

Calculate the acceleration of a car if it's velocity increases from 15 m/s to 75m/s in 5 seconds. ​
Andreas93 [3]
  • initial velocity=u=15m/s
  • Final velocity=v=75m/s
  • Time=t=5s

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{75-15}{5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{60}{5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=12m/s^2

A man pushes his child in a grocery cart. The total mass of the cart and child is 30.0 kg. If the force of friction on the cart
Ber [7]
Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces applied to an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration:
\sum F = ma
where in our problem, m is the mass the (child+cart) and a is the acceleration of the system.

We are only concerned about what it happens on the horizontal axis, so there are two forces acting on the cart+child system: the force F of the man pushing it, and the frictional force F_f acting in the opposite direction. So Newton's second law can be rewritten as
F-F_a = ma
or
F=ma + F_f

since the frictional force is 15 N and we want to achieve an acceleration of a=1.50 m/s^2, we can substitute these values to find what is the force the man needs:
F=(30 kg)(1.5 m/s^2)+15 N=60 N

A Cessna aircraft has a lift off speed of 147 km/h. What minimum constant acceleration does this require if the aircraft is to b
netineya [11]

Answer:

The acceleration is  a =51945 \ km/h^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The lift up speed is  v  = 147 \  km/h

    The distance covered for the take off run is s =  208 m = 0.208 \ km

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

      v^2 = u^2 + 2as

Here u is the initial  speed of the aircraft with value 0 m/ s give that the aircraft started from rest

So  

    147^2 = 0^2 + 2* a* 0.208

=>  a =51945 \ km/h^2
