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.

Compare and contrast formation of with the formation of mgcl2

zalisa [80]

Answer: Both of the compounds contain primary bonding; however, the bonding is of different types. Magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) contains ionic bonds, which are stronger and involve the complete transfer of electrons. Meanwhile, ethane (C₂H₆) also bonds by electron transfer but the electrons are not completely transferred from one atom to another. Instead, they are shared, forming what is known as a covalent bond.

A vertical cylindrical tank 10 ft in diameter, has an inflow line of 0.3 ft inside diameter and an outflow line of 0.4 ft inside

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

$\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.3 \times 10^{-3} \frac{ft}{s}$ , level is rising.

Explanation:

Since liquid water is a incompresible fluid, density can be eliminated of the equation of Mass Conservation, which is simplified as follows:

$\dot V_{in} - \dot V_{out} = \frac{dV_{tank}}{dt}$

$\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in}-\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out}= \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{tank}^{2} \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} \\D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in} - D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out} = D_{tank}^{2} \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} \\\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in} - D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out}}{D_{tank}^{2}}$

By replacing all known variables:

$\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{(0.3 ft)^{2}\cdot (5 \frac{ft}{s} ) - (0.4 ft)^{2} \cdot (2 \frac{ft}{s} )}{(10 ft)^{2}}\\\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.3 \times 10^{-3} \frac{ft}{s}$

The positive sign of the rate of change of the tank level indicates a rising behaviour.

ENGLISH:

It distinguishes between the fermions, which are particles of matter, and the bosons, which carry forces. The matter particles include six quarks and six leptons. The six quarks are called the up, down, charm, strange, top and bottom quark. ... All of these matter particles fall into three “generations.”

How would the mathematical model change if the direction that the object traveled was reversed

victus00 [196]

A line that is falling towards the x axis represents an object that is negatively accelerating, or slowing down. When the line hits the x axis, the object has stopped moving. If the graph continues below the x axis, the object has changed direction and is moving backwards at increasing velocity.
