8_murik_8 [283]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Some of the effects of a dam on the environment includes;

1) Increase in the amount of the greenhouse gases

2) Removal of the natural wetland and ocean carbon sinks

3) Disruption of the sources of nutrients in the ecosystem

4) Destruction of habitats

5) Raising of the sea levels and waste waters

6) Displace villages and communities

7) Dams have a potential to create flood risk

8) Dams lead to increased water loss due to evaporation and transpiration

9) Dams causes earthquakes

Explanation:

Dams are a source of renewable energy and are a means to prevent floods, however, dams can also have detrimental impact on the climate and the environment.

Explain what is happening when roller coaster is at each point. **The roller coaster has started at A and goes to D.
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

At point A, the cart has high potential energy. At point b, the cart is pulled down by gravity. At point c, the cart gains its highest kinetic energy. At point d, the cart returns back to the same state but with lower potential energy.

What are the difference between conductor and insulator? ​
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

  • A conductor allows energy e.g. electric charge or heat to pass through it easily. While an insulator does not let electric current or heat to travel through it.
  • Insulators have strong molecular bonds. While molecular bonds are very weak in conductors.
  • Insulators have very low conductivity. While in conductors, it is very high.
  • Insulators have a very high resistance and therefore the electrons are held together very firmly. The conductors, on the other hand, have a very low resistance.
  • Insulators do not have any electric field, neither inside nor on the surface. While in conductors, it is found on the surface and continues to be zero in the inner part of the conductor.

Your grandmother enjoys creating pottery as a hobby. She uses a potter's wheel, which is a stone disk of radius R-0.520 m and ma
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

0.54454

104.00902 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of wheel = 100 kg

r = Radius = 0.52 m

t = Time taken = 6 seconds

\omega_f = Final angular velocity

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity

\alpha = Angular acceleration

Mass of inertia is given by

I=\dfrac{mr^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{100\times 0.52^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=13.52\ kgm^2

Angular acceleration is given by

\alpha=\dfrac{\tau}{I}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\mu fr}{I}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\mu 50\times 0.52}{13.52}

Equation of rotational motion

\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\omega_i+\dfrac{\mu (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}t\\\Rightarrow 0=60\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}+\dfrac{\mu (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}\times 6\\\Rightarrow 0=6.28318-11.53846\mu\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{6.28318}{11.53846}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.54454

The coefficient of friction is 0.54454

At r = 0.25 m

\omega_f=\omega_i+\dfrac{0.54454 (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}6\\\Rightarrow 0=60\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}+\dfrac{0.54454 f\times 0.25}{13.52}6\\\Rightarrow 2\pi=0.06041f\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{2\pi}{0.06041}\\\Rightarrow f=104.00902\ N

The force needed to stop the wheel is 104.00902 N

Two identical twins hold on to a rope, one at each end, on a smooth, frictionless ice surface. They skate in a circle about the
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Part a)

L = 2683.2 kg m^2/s

Part b)

v' = 8.60 m/s

Part c)

W = 4326.7 J

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that there is no external torque on the system of two twins

so here we will use

L = mv r + mvr

L = 2(78 \times 4.30 \times 4)

L = 2683.2 kg m^2/s

Part b)

Since angular momentum is conserved here as there is no external torque

so we will have

2(m v r) = 2( m v' \frac{r}{2})

v' = 2v

v' = 8.60 m/s

Part c)

Work done by both of them = change in kinetic energy

so we have

W = 2(\frac{1}{2}mv'^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv^2)

W = m(v'^2 - v^2)

W = 78(8.60^2 - 4.3^2)

W = 4326.7 J
