kid shoots a BB gun directly upward at a ock of birds. The initial velocity of the BB is21 m/s. If the BB hits a bird at less th

an 1 m/s then it will not harm the bird. Calculate the minimumheight above the gun at which the birds may safely y. Use a magnitude of acceleration of 9.8m

Answer:

22.5 m

Explanation:

Using v² = u² - 2gy where u = initial velocity of BB = 21 m/s, v = final velocity of BB = 1 m/s (since this is the required speed of BB in which it will not harm the birds), g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and y = minimum height of BB above the gun at which the birds may safely fly.

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

v² = u² - 2gy

(1 m/s)² = (21 m/s)² - 2(9.8 m/s²)y

collecting like terms, we have

(1 m/s)² - (21 m/s)² = - 2(9.8 m/s²)y

1 m²/s² - 441 m²/s² = -(19.6 m/s²)y

simplifying, we have

- 440 m²/s² = -(19.6 m/s²)y

dividing through by -19.6 m/s², we have

y = - 440 m²/s² ÷ -19.6 m/s²

y = 22.45 m

y ≅ 22.5 m

Match each property with the benefit it provides to people on Earth. A. magnetic field filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
vodomira [7]

The correct matching are the following:

  • A. magnetic field: prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface
  • B. ozone: filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
  • C. carbon dioxide: retains heat energy from the sun in the atmosphere
  • D. water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams: moderates changes in temperature on the surface

The electromagnetic field of the Earth protects us from solar wind by deflecting it. Without it, the charged particles would strip away our ozone, which will lead to the end of life on Earth.

The ozone is a layer in the stratosphere that filters the suns rays. It filters the UV rays by absorbing it. This prevents the UV rays from damaging the surface of the Earth.

Carbon dioxide retains heat in the atmosphere, which creates a greenhouse effect. It is beneficial for us, but because human activity like industrial activities emit so much carbon in the atmosphere that it ends up being harmful.

Bodies of water found on Earth regulate the temperature of the Earth through ocean currents. It brings in both cold and warm air to land which also affect precipitation.

Long explanation, I know, but maybe this will help you out in the long run. Good Luck!
