Answer:

Trevor's taxi would cause higher levels of air pollution

Explanation:

Trevor's taxi use diesel oil.

Diesel is less cleaner than LPG.

Compared to automotive pollution from petrol and diesel, pollutants from LPG-driven cars include lower amounts of petroleum hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides , sulphur oxides, ozone contamination and particulate matter.

A coffee filter of mass 1.5 grams dropped from a height of 3 m reaches the ground with a speed of 0.7 m/s. How much kinetic ener
Mademuasel [1]

The kinetic energy gained by the air molecules is 0.0437 J                

<h3 />

Given:

Mass of a coffee filter, m = 1.5 g

Height from which it is dropped, h = 3 m

Speed at ground, v = 0.7 m/s

Initially, the coffee filter has potential energy. It is given by :

P =mgh

P = 1.5 × 10⁻³ kg × 9.8 m/s² × 3m

P = 0.0441 J

Finally, it will have kinetic energy. It is given by :

E= \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

E= \frac{1}{2}×1.4 × 10⁻³ × (0.7)²

E = 0.000343 J

The  kinetic energy Kair did the air molecules gain from the falling coffee filter is :

E = 0.000343 -  0.0441

  = 0.0437 J

So, the kinetic energy Kair did the air molecules gain from the falling coffee filter is 0.0437 J

The distance to the other planets in the Solar System from the Earth depends on where they are in their orbit. The closest that
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

3.6 arcsec

Explanation:

 angular diameter = diameter / distance

diameter is constant

so angular diameter ∝ 1 / distance

angular diameter = k / distance

For first case ,

18 = k / .5

for second case let angular diameter be D .

D = k / 2.5

dividing ,

D / 18 = .5 / 2.5 = 1 / 5

D = 18 / 5 = 3.6 arcsec

3.6 arcsec is the answer .

Two hockey pucks, labeled A and B, are initially at rest on a smooth ice surface and are separated by a distance of 18.0 m . Sim
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The distance covered by puck A before collision is  z = 8.56 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The label on the two hockey pucks is  A and  B

    The distance between the  two hockey pucks is D   18.0 m

     The speed of puck A is  v_A =  3.90 \ m/s

        The speed of puck B is  v_B  =  4.30 \ m/s

The distance covered by puck A is mathematically represented as

     z =  v_A * t

  =>  t  =  \frac{z}{v_A}

 The distance covered by puck B  is  mathematically represented as

      18 - z =  v_B  * t

=>   t  = \frac{18 - z}{v_B}

Since the time take before collision is the same

        \frac{18 - z}{V_B}  =  \frac{z}{v_A}

substituting values

          \frac{18 -z }{4.3}  = \frac{z}{3.90}

=>      70.2 - 3.90 z   = 4.3 z

=>       z = 8.56 \ m

What are the 3 Laws of Newtonian Mechanics
Katyanochek1 [597]

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction
