What does Rockstrom mean by the need to "bend the curves"?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: Rockstrom meant that it's going to be a challenging decade and that people will need to work hard and also bend the curve by thinking around the curve.

Explanation:

Some years ago, Johan Rockström, who was the executive director of Stockholm Environment Institute, and a professor at Stockholm University, was the head of an international team that was assembled in defining planetary boundaries.

The that was gathered to speak regarding issues that pertained to the Earth ane how it can be protected from being infiltrated ad protecting it from failing. During the conversation, Rockstrom said that it's going to be a challenging decade and that people will need to work hard and also bend the curve by thinking around the curve.

A wheel with radius 36 cm is rotating at a rate of 19 rev/s.(a) What is the angular speed in radians per second? rad/s(b) In a t

Sedaia [141]

(a) 119.3 rad/s

The angular speed of the wheel is

$\omega= 19 rev/s$

we need to convert it into radiands per second. We know that

$1 rev = 2 \pi rad$

Therefore, we just need to multiply the angular speed of the wheel by this factor, to get the angular speed in rad/s:

$\omega = 19 rev/s \cdot (2\pi rad/rev))=119.3 rad/s$

(b) 596.5 rad

The angular displacement of the wheel in a time interval t is given by

$\theta= \omega t$

where

$\omega=119.3 rad$

and

t = 5 s is the time interval

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

$\theta=(119.3 rad/s)(5 s)=596.5 rad$

(c) 127.3 rad/s

At t=10 s, the angular speed begins to increase with an angular acceleration of

$\alpha = 1.6 rad/s^2$

So the final angular speed will be given by

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha \Delta t$

where

$\omega_i = 119.3 rad/s$ is the initial angular speed

$\alpha = 1.6 rad/s^2$ is the angular acceleration

$\Delta t = 15 s - 10 s = 5 s$ is the time interval

Solving the equation,

$\omega_f = (119.3 rad/s) + (1.6 rad/s^2)(5 s)=127.3 rad/s$

(d) 616.5 rad

The angle through which the wheel has rotated during this time interval is given by

$\theta = \omega_i \Delta t + \frac{1}{2} \alpha (\Delta t)^2$

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find

$\theta = (119.3 rad/s)(5 s) + \frac{1}{2} (1.6 rad/s^2) (5 s)^2=616.5 rad$

(e) 222 m

The instantaneous speed of the center of the wheel is given by

$v_{CM} = \omega R$ (1)

where

$\omega$ is the average angular velocity of the wheel during the time t=10 s and t=15 s, and it is given by

$\omega=\frac{\omega_i + \omega_f}{2}=\frac{127.3 rad/s+119.3 rad/s}{2}=123.3 rad/s$

and

R = 36 cm = 0.36 m is the radius of the wheel

Substituting into (1),

$v_{CM}=(123.3 rad/s)(0.36 m)=44.4 m/s$

And so the displacement of the center of the wheel will be

$d=v_{CM} t = (44.4 m/s)(5 s)=222 m$

Ben franklin showed that 1 teaspoon of oil would cover about 0.50 acre of still water. if you know that 1.0 x 104m2 = 2.47 acres

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

To solve for the thickness of the latter of oil, we can simply divide the volume by the total surface area:

Thickness = Volume / Surface Area

We are both given the volume and the surface area, all we have to do now is to convert the units in like terms so that we can cancel those out.

Surface Area = 0.50 acres (1.0 x 10^4 m^2 / 2.47 acres)

Surface Area = 2,024.29 m^2

Further converting this into cm:

Surface Area = 2,024.29 m^2 (100 cm / m)^2

Surface Area = 20,242,914.98 cm^2

Therefore the thickness is:

Thickness = 5.0 cm^3 / 20,242,914.98 cm^2

Thickness = 2.47 x 10^-7 cm

<span>Thickness = 2.47 x 10^-9 m = 2.47 nm = 24.7 A</span>
