Rachel Carson was the author of the acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring. The book was published in 1962.
It documented the negative effect that synthetic pesticides have on the environment, specifically on birds.
This book laid bare to the American public what chemical companies indirectly contributed to the environment. 
The public furor this book caused led to the reversal of the national pesticide policy, a nationwide ban on DDT for agricultural uses, and inspired the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

4. A rock is thrown from the edge of the top of a 100 m tall building at some unknown angle above the horizontal. The rock strik
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity of projectile be v and angle of throw be θ.

The projectile takes 5 s to touch the ground during which period it falls vertically by 100 m

considering its vertical displacement

h = - ut +1/2 g t²

100 = - vsinθ x 5 + .5 x 9.8 x 5²

5vsinθ =  222.5

vsinθ = 44.5

It covers 160 horizontally in 5 s

vcosθ x 5 = 160

v cosθ = 32

squaring and adding

v²sin²θ +v² cos²θ = 44.4² + 32²

v² = 1971.36 + 1024

v = 54.73 m /s

A water bath in a physical chemistry lab is 1.55 m long, 0.710 m wide, and 0.570 m deep (high). If it is filled to within 3.55 i
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

528 liter.

Explanation:

Volume of the tank(cuboid) = l*b*h

But volume of the water = l*b*h

Where

l= length of the tank

b = width of the tank

h = the length from the bottom of the tank,

3.55 in to m,

0.09017m

Length of the water in the tank = 0.570 - 0.09017

= 0.47983 m.

Volume = 0.47983*0.710*1.55

= 0.528 m3.

1 m3 = 1000 liter.

0.528 m3 = 0.528*1000

= 528 liter

love history [14]

Answer:

I will say that the the potential energy will be at its maximum.

Explanation:

potential energy deals with gravity and gravity deals with height, so when a object is in its maximum height it will have the maximum potential energy.

Relativistic velocity is of the order of _____ of velocity of light A- 1/15th of the velocity of light B-1/20th of the velocity
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Relativistic velocity is of the order of 1/10th of the velocity of light

Explanation:

We define relativistic speed (or velocity) as a speed that is a significant fraction of the speed of light: c = 3*10^8 m/s

Such that for these speeds, the special relativity theory starts to apply (the relativity effects starts to apply).

Usually, we define relativistic speeds as those that are of the order (or larger) of c/10, which is one-tenth of the speed of light.

Then the correct option is C:

Relativistic velocity is of the order of 1/10th of the velocity of light
