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.

What will happen when a light bulb is removed from the circuit below, leaving a gap?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The light bulb that was taken out routed power to the other light bulbs, there for, not giving power to the next light bulbs will make them turn off or, "go out". This may be incorrect, as you did not provide a picture of the circuit.

What formula do I use for the second question? For number 3 how is one energy converted to the other? ( using arrows ) I get num
Fed [463]
<u>#2</u>
Use the formula ... Kinetic energy = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²

<u>#3 - a).</u>
sun => energy travels as electromagnetic waves => reaches Earth as
         heat & light energy.

sun => absorbed in plants => eaten by animals => animals die =>
       decay into oil in millions of years => we burn the oil to get the energy.

<u>#3 - b).</u>
food I ate for lunch => metabolized into glucose by my body
       => some of it burned in my muscles to generate energy for immediate needs
       => the rest of it stored as fat for future needs.

<u>#3 - c).</u>
flower pot rolls off the ledge => gravity does work on it all the way down,
       producing the kinetic energy it has when it hits the floor.

<u>#3 - d).</u>
oil or natural gas is burned, releasing heat energy => energy is used
       to generate electricity => electricity flows through cables from the
       power generating plant to your home => hot plate plugged into the
       wall => turns electrical energy back into heat energy => heat energy
       is conducted into the bottom of the beaker, flows through the glass
       to the inside surface => heat energy is conducted from the inside of
       the glass to the water, which gets hotter as it absorbs more energy. 
=============================

<u>Note:</u>
#1 on the sheet is wrong.
"Work = force x distance"  that's correct
But 25-kg is the <em>mass</em> of the ball, <em>not </em>the gravitational <em>force </em>on it.
The force on it is (mass) x (gravity), called its "weight".
   That's (25-kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 245 kg-m/s² = 245 newtons .

g A hydraulic press has a safety feature which consists of a hydraulic cylinder with a piston at one end and a safety valve at t
nlexa [21]

Answer:

58.32 N

Explanation:

Area of a circle = \pir^{2}

where r is the radius of the circle.

The cylinder has a radius of 0.02 m, its area is;

A_{1} = \pir^{2}

  = \frac{22}{7} x (0.02)^{2}

  = \frac{22}{7} x 0.0004

  = 1.2571 x 10^{-3}

Area of the cylinder is 0.0013 m^{2}.

The safety valve has a radius of 0.0075 m, its area is;

A_{2} = \pir^{2}

    = \frac{22}{7} x (0.0075)^{2}

    = \frac{22}{7} x 5.625 x 10^{-5}

    = 1.7679 x 10^{-4}

Area of the valve is 0.00018 m^{2}.

From Hooke's law, the force on the safety valve can be determined by;

F = ke

F_{2}  = 950 x 0.0085

  = 8.075 N

Minimum force, F_{1}, required can be determined by;

\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } = \frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }

\frac{F_{1} }{0.0013} = \frac{8.075}{0.00018}

F_{1} = \frac{0.0013 *8.075}{0.00018}

    = 58.32

The minimum force that must be exerted on the piston is 58.32 N.
