There are both advantages and disadvantages in using plastics:
The advantages are:
Plastic is cheap to manufacture because it is easy to mold. It is light but durable and unbreakable. Plastic does not rust and it is water resistant. 
Plastic is reusable over and over again and when it is worn, the cost of replacement is cheaper than glass or rubber. It is odorless and chemical resistant.
The disadvantages of plastic are:
Plastic can cause cancer. Recycling plastic can cause toxic chemicals to be released during the process. It has low heat resistance and melts when placed near fires. Plastic containers for food absorb the smell of the food even when washed thoroughly. Small parts in plastic toys can cause choking in small children, the same with plastic bags when accidentally wrapped around children's heads. Plastics can clog up sewer systems when people through them away indiscriminately.

A vertical, solid steel post 25 cm in diameter and 2.50m long is required to support a load of 8000kg. You can ignore the weight
Gwar [14]

(a) The stress in the post is 1,568,000 N/m²

(b) The strain in the post is  7.61 x 10⁻⁶  

(c) The change in the post’s length when the load is applied is 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m.

<h3>Area of the steel post</h3>

A = πd²/4

where;

d is the diameter

A = π(0.25²)/4 = 0.05 m²

<h3>Stress on the steel post</h3>

σ = F/A

σ = mg/A

where;

  • m is mass supported by the steel
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • A is the area of the steel post

σ = (8000 x 9.8)/(0.05)

σ = 1,568,000 N/m²

<h3>Strain of the post</h3>

E = stress / strain

where;

  • E is Young's modulus of steel = 206 Gpa

strain = stress/E

strain = (1,568,000) / (206 x 10⁹)

strain = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶

<h3>Change in length of the steel post</h3>

strain = ΔL/L

where;

  • ΔL is change in length
  • L is original length

ΔL = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶ x 2.5

ΔL = 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m

A roller coaster car is elevated to a height of 30 m and released from rest to roll along a track. At a certain time T it is at
Naddika [18.5K]

Explanation:

Initial energy = final energy + work done by friction

PE = PE + KE + W

mgH = mgh + 1/2 mv² + W

(800)(9.8)(30) = (800)(9.8)(2) + 1/2 (800) v² + 25000

v = 22.1 m/s

Without friction:

PE = PE + KE

mgH = mgh + 1/2 mv²

(800)(9.8)(30) = (800)(9.8)(2) + 1/2 (800) v²

v = 23.4 m/s

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.

Imagine that there is a small rocky body caught by Earth’s gravity. Draw a comic-strip cartoon
vladimir1956 [14]

To create this comic strip you can use a narration describing each step and illustrate each one with one image or drawing.

Creating a comic strip involves using images and short texts to explain a specific idea or phenomenon. In the case of the process for a meteor to enter Earth you can use the following ideas.

  • A meteoroid approaches the Earth at high speed and draw a meteor traveling near to different planets and approaching Earth.
  • What is that? and draw the Earth wondering who or what is approaching.
  • The meteoroid enters the atmosphere of the Earth and becomes a meteor and draw the rocky body burning
  • The rocky body crashes with the surface becoming a meteorite and draw the zone where the meteorite crashed.

[7 pts] 1. Suppose that a car starts from rest, its engine providing an acceleration of 4 ft/s2 while air resistance provides 0.
kumpel [21]

Answer:

a) Initial Value Problem

dv/dt = 4 - 0.1v

v(0) = 0

b) solution to the IVP

v(t) = 40(1 - e^(-t/10))

c) Limiting velocity

Vo = 40 ft/s

Position of the car after 12 hours

X = 14,390 ft
