What are three ways synthetic polymers affect the environment?

1 answer:

6 0

There are two types of polymers which are natural and synthetic polymers. Natural polymers do not affect the environment but synthetic polymers do. This type of polymers are produced by humans. These release reactants which are considered hazardous to humans and the environment. Synthetic polymers include rubbers, plastics, and adhesives, and these are considered non-biodegradable and non environmental friendly. As these build up in the environment, in causes problems such as chemical poisoning to all the living things around it. Hope this helps.

A 0.405 kg mass is attached to a spring with a force constant of 26.3 N/m and released from rest a distance of 3.31 cm from the

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

0.231 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass attached to the spring = 0.405 kg

k = spring constant of spring = 26.3 N/m

x₀ = initial position = 3.31 cm = 0.0331 m

x = final position = (0.5) x₀ = (0.5) (0.0331) = 0.01655 m

v₀ = initial speed = 0 m/s

v = final speed = ?

Using conservation of energy

Initial kinetic energy + initial spring energy = Final kinetic energy + final spring energy

(0.5) m v₀² + (0.5) k x₀² = (0.5) m v² + (0.5) k x²

m v₀² + k x₀² = m v² + k x²

(0.405) (0)² + (26.3) (0.0331)² = (0.405) v² + (26.3) (0.01655)²

v = 0.231 m/s

A roller coaster cart of mass m = 223 kg starts stationary at point A, where h1 = 26.8 m and a while later is at B, were h2 = 14

Tresset [83]

Answer:

vB = 15.4 m/s

Explanation:

Principle of conservation of energy:

Because there is no friction the mechanical energy is conserve

ΔE = 0

ΔE : mechanical energy change (J)

K : Kinetic energy (J)

U: Potential energy (J)

K = (1/2)mv²

U = m*g*h

Where :

m: mass (kg)

v : speed (m/s)

h : hight (m)

Ef - Ei = 0

(K+U)final - (K+U)initial =0

(K+U)final = (K+U)initial

((1/2)mv²+m*g*h)final = ((1/2)mv²+m*g*h)initial , We divided by m both sides of the equation:

((1/2)vB² + g*hB = (1/2 )vA²+ g*hA

(1/2) (vB)² + (9.8)*(14.7) = 0 + (9.8)(26.8 )

(1/2) (vB)² = (9.8)(26.8 ) - (9.8)*(14.7)

(vB)² = (2)(9.8)(26.8 - 14.7)

(vB)² = 237.16

$v_{B} = \sqrt{237.16}$

vB = 15.4 m/s : speed of the cart at B
