Why is a decrease in Earth’s ozone harmful to life?

Physics
1 answer:
zavuch27 [327]3 years ago
8 0

Most ozone resides in the stratosphere (a layer of the atmosphere between 10 and 40 km above us), where it acts as a shield to protect Earth's surface from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. With a weakening of this shield, we would be more susceptible to skin cancer, cataracts and impaired immune systems.

Tom kicks a soccer ball on a flat, level field giving it an initial speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 35 degrees above the horizont
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

(a) 2.34 s

(b) 6.71 m

(c) 38.35 m

(d) 20 m/s

Explanation:

u = 20 m/s, theta = 35 degree

(a) The formula for the time of flight is given by

T = \frac{2 u Sin\theta }{g}

T = \frac{2 \times 20 \times Sin35 }{9.8}

T = 2.34 second

(b) The formula for the maximum height is given by

H = \frac{u^{2} \times Sin^{2}\theta }{2g}

H = \frac{20^{2} \times Sin^{2}35 }{2 \times 9.8}

H  = 6.71 m

(c) The formula for the range is given by

R = \frac{u^{2} \times Sin 2\theta }{g}

R = \frac{20^{2} \times Sin 2 \times 35}{9.8}

R = 38.35 m

(d) It hits with the same speed at the initial speed.

Most cars have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid that may overflow when the engine is hot. A radiator is made of coppe
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

0.699 L of the fluid will overflow

Explanation:

We know that the change in volume ΔV = V₀β(T₂ - T₁) where V₀ = volume of radiator = 21.1 L, β = coefficient of volume expansion of fluid = 400 × 10⁻⁶/°C

and T₁ = initial temperature of radiator = 12.2°C and T₂ = final temperature of radiator = 95.0°C

Substituting these values into the equation, we have

ΔV = V₀β(T₂ - T₁)

= 21.1 L × 400 × 10⁻⁶/°C × (95.0°C - 12.2°C)

= 21.1 L × 400 × 10⁻⁶/°C × 82.8°C = 698832 × 10⁻⁶ L

= 0.698832 L

≅ 0.699 L = 0.7 L to the nearest tenth litre

So, 0.699 L of the fluid will overflow

A block on a horizontal frictionless plane is attached to a spring, as shown below. The block oscillates along the x-axis with s
AleksandrR [38]

The question is about unclear since no picture provided. But from the question, it could be guessed that the box is moving back and forth on the frictionless plane at the amplitude of A in simple harmonic motion.

Answer:

D. At x=0, it's acceleration is at a maximum

Explanation:

As the box move forward, it reaches point A and than move backward. Theoretically, the box will move backwards, through its origin, to point -A and then going forward.

Point A is the maximum displacement of the box in this case. At this point, the box instantaneously stop to go backward. Therefore the velocity at that moment is zero.

From point -A, the box travel forward and keep building up speed due to the release in potential energy of the spring. And at point x=0, the velocity become maximum. After point x=0, the velocity of the box slows down due to the conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy of the spring. And as it reaches point A, it reaches zero velocity.

The same can be said as the box travels backward from point A to -A
