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.

One of the most efficient engines built so far has the following characteristics: combustion chamber temperature = 1900°C, exhau

suter [353]

Answer:

actual efficiency is 47.78 %

Carnot efficiency is 67.65 %

power output is 5.20 × 10^3 hp

Explanation:

given data

temperature = 1900°C = 1900+ 273 K = 2173 K

exhaust temperature = 430°C = 430 + 273 K = 703 K

fuel = 7.0 × 10^9 cal

work = 1.4 × 10^10 J

to find out

actual efficiency and Carnot efficiency and power output of engine

solution

first we find actual efficiency that is = work / heat input

put the value and

input energy = 7.0 × 10^9 cal (4.184 J/1 cal) = 29.29 × 10^9 J

actual efficiency = 1.4 × 10^10 / ( 29.29 × 10^9 )

actual efficiency = 0.4778

actual efficiency is 47.78 %

and

Carnot efficiency is = 1 - ( 703 / 2173 )

so Carnot efficiency is = 0.67648

Carnot efficiency is 67.65 %

and

power output = work / time

power output = 1.4 × 10^10 / 3600 sec

power output = 3.88 × 10^6 W

power output = 3.88 × 10^6 W / 746 hp

so power output is 5.20 × 10^3 hp

Which of the following will be the best condition for bread fermentation?

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

a. Wet, soft dough at 85 degrees Fahrenheit

Explanation:

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that transforms starches into simpler substances. The rising of dough is due to fermentation.

According to Harold McGee, 85°F (29°C) is the best temperature for fermenting bread dough. Temperatures below 85°F (29°C) take much longer to ferment, and temperatures higher than that result into unpleasant flavors in the dough.

Wet, soft dough is usually more preferable because it produces a softer bread.

Assume that the turntable deccelerated during time Δt before reaching the final angular velocity ( Δt is the time interval betwe

Zina [86]

Answer:

See below...

Explanation:

Let’s express ⟨α⟩ in terms of ωi , ωf , and Δt. and torque in terms of It , ωi , ωf , and Δt.

STEP 1.

The rate of change of angular velocity is Angular acceleration.

The net change in angular velocity is Average angular acceleration divided by the elapsed time.

⟨α⟩ = ω f −ω i/Δt

STEP 2.

Torque is assumed this way

dω

τ = I ----

⟨τ ⟩ = I t (ω f −ω i )/Δt

morpeh [17]

At t=0, the particle was at its equilibrium position. The time period is 32 seconds, so in 8 seconds, it will reach the extreme location once, and hence, in 8 seconds, it will cover a distance equivalent to its amplitude.
