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.

Two rockets are flying in the same direction and are side by side at the instant their retrorockets fire. Rocket A has an initia
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

-22.2 m/s²

Explanation:

The equation for position x for a constant acceleration a, time t and initial velocity v₀, initial position x₀:

(1) x=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t+x_0

For rocket A the initial and final position: x = x₀= 0. Using these values in equation 1 gives:

(2) 0=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t

Solving for time t:

-\frac{1}{2}at^2=v_0t

(3) t=-\frac{2v_0}{a}

The times for both rockets must be equal, since they start and end at the same location. Using equation 3 for rocket A and B gives:

(4) \frac{v_{0A}}{a_A}=\frac{v_{0B}}{a_B}

Solving equation 4 for acceleration of rocket B:

(5) a_B=a_A\frac{v_{0B}}{v_{0A}}

How does gravity affect the velocity of falling objects?
sladkih [1.3K]

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls

Una furgoneta circula por una carretera a 55km/h. Diez km atrás , un coche circula en el mismo sentido a 85km/h ¿ En cuanto tiem
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

t = 0.33h = 1200s

x = 18.33 km

Explanation:

If the origin of coordinates is at the second car, you can write the following equations for both cars:

car 1:

x=x_o+v_1t    (1)

xo = 10 km

v1 = 55km/h

car 2:

x'=v_2t    (2)

v2 = 85km/h

For a specific value of time t the positions of both cars are equal, that is, x=x'. You equal equations (1) and (2) and solve for t:

x=x'\\\\x_o+v_1t=v_2t\\\\(v_2-v_1)t=x_o\\\\t=\frac{x_o}{v_2-v_1}

t=\frac{10km}{85km/h-55km/h}=0.33h*\frac{3600s}{1h}=1200s

The position in which both cars coincides is:

x=(55km/h)(0.33h)=18.33km
