Answer:

CO2 emissions from fossil fuel burning should be minimized at all cost. The CO2 are gotten when the carbons from hydrocarbons react with air(oxygen). This gas erodes the ozone layer which makes the melting of ice caps faster due to increased amount of heat radiations on the earth. This is the only best and permanent solution to the reduction of the amount of heat rays on the earth which is a global problem.

Objects which reflects back the sunrays could also be inserted into the sea to prevent the melting of the ice caps.

Describe the initial horizontal and vertical velocity of a horizontally launched projectile on Earth, as well as what happens to

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

To explain this, let's consider a tennis ball being launched from the top of a very high building.

Now, if the tennis ball is launched horizontally without any upward angle but with an initial velocity of 10 m/s. In this motion, If there is no gravity, the tennis ball would continue in motion at that same speed of 10 m/s in the horizontal direction. However, in reality, gravity causes the tennis ball to accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8 m/s for every second. This implies that the vertical velocity component is changing at the rate of 9.8 m/s every second.

Thus, after 1 second, horizontal velocity component will remain 10 m/s and vertical component will be 9.8 m/s × 1 = 9.8 m/s downwards.

Also, after 2 seconds, the vertical velocity component will remain 10 m/s, however the vertical component will now be 9.8 × 2 = 19.6 m/s downwards.

Same procedure is repeated as t increases by 1 second.

A 62 kg bungee jumper jumps from a bridge. She is tied to a bungee cord whose unstretched length is 12 m. She falls a total of 3

Andrew [12]

Answer:

k = 104.46 N/m

Explanation:

Here we can use energy conservation

so we will have

initial gravitational potential energy = final total spring potential energy

as we know that she falls a total distance of 31 m

while the unstretched length of the string is 12 m

so the extension in the string is given as

$x = L - L_o$

$x = 31 - 12 = 19 m$

so we have

$mgH = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$62(9.81)(31) = \frac{1}{2}k (19^2)$

$k = 104.46 N/m$

A train travels due north in a straight line with a constant speed of 100 m/s. Another train leaves a station 2,881 m away trave

damaskus [11]

Answer:

The trains will collide at a distance 1660 m from the station

Explanation:

Let the train traveling due north with a constant speed of 100 m/s be Train A.

Let the train traveling due south with a constant speed of 136 m/s be Train B.

From the question, Train B leaves a station 2,881 m away (that is 2,881 m away from Train A position).

Hence, the two trains would have traveled a total distance of 2,881 m by the time they collide.

∴ If train A has covered a distance $x$ m by the time of collision, then train B would have traveled $(2881 - x)$ m.

Also,

At the position where the trains will collide, the two trains must have traveled for equal time, t.

That is, At the point of collision,

$t_{A} = t_{B}$

$t_{A}$ is the time spent by train A

$t_{B}$ is the time spent by train B

From,

$Velocity = \frac{Distance }{Time }\\$

$Time = \frac{Distance}{Velocity}$

Since the time spent by the two trains is equal,

Then,

$\frac{Distance_{A} }{Velocity_{A} } = \frac{Distance_{B} }{Velocity_{B} }$

${Distance_{A} = x$ m

${Distance_{B} = 2881 - x$ m

${Velocity_{A} = 100$ m/s

${Velocity_{B} = 136$ m/s

Hence,

$\frac{x}{100} = \frac{2881 - x}{136}$

$136(x) = 100(2881 - x)\\136x = 288100 - 100x\\136x + 100x = 288100\\236x = 288100\\x = \frac{288100}{236} \\x = 1220.76m\\$

$x$ ≅ 1,221 m

This is the distance covered by train A by the time of collision.

Hence, Train B would have covered (2881 - 1221)m = 1660 m

Train B would have covered 1660 m by the time of collision

Since it is train B that leaves a station,

∴ The trains will collide at a distance 1660 m from the station.
