Fire extinguishers that spray carbon dioxide on the fire, work very effectively because it forms a blanket around the burning ma

terial. But these carbon dioxide extinguishers cannot be used for wood fires. Why?
a. The carbon dioxide blanket itself acts as a fuel and starts burning along with the wood.

b. The extinguished wood can retain enough heat inside the carbon dioxide blanket to re-ignite when the gas disappears.

c. In the presence of carbon dioxide from the extinguisher, the burning wood reacts with oxygen to release heat and make the fire worse.

d. Carbon dioxide reacts with wood to give carbon and oxygen; the oxygen makes the fire worse and the carbon burns along with the wood.

What would happen if the sand dunes in an area were destroyed?
Komok [63]

Answer:

<u>Our beaches would be unprotected</u>

In the short-term, these artificial sand hills will be destroyed by the elements. Because sand dunes protect inland areas from swells, tides, and winds, they must be protected and defended like national treasures. ... The ocean and the wind can have an unpredictable, destructive force on coastal regions.

- surfertoday

Natural sand dunes play a vital role in protecting our beaches, coastline and coastal developments from coastal hazards such as erosion, coastal flooding and storm damage. Sand dunes protect our shorelines from coastal erosion and provide shelter from the wind and sea spray.

Activity: A Ferris wheel with a diameter of 60.0 m is moving at a speed of 2.09 m/s. What is the centripetal
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration of the wheel is 0.145\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

We have,

Diameter of a Ferris wheel is 60 m

Radius of the wheel is 30 m

Speed of the wheel is 2.09 m/s

It is required to find the centripetal  acceleration of the wheel. The formula of centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(2.09)^2}{30}\\\\a=0.145\ m/s^2

So, the centripetal acceleration of the wheel is 0.145\ m/s^2.
