Answer:

Yes, the practice of lining waterways with concrete should continue.

Explanation:

These concrete linings create more laminar flow along the waterways, and in turn, this can reduce erosion. When erosion is reduced, this prevents damage to homes and roads, and loss of land.

The decomposition of ammonia to the elements is a first-order reaction with a half-life of 200 s at a certain temperature. How l

Feliz [49]

Based on the half-life of the reaction, time taken for the partial pressure of ammonia to decrease from 0.100 atm to 0.00625 atm is 800 seconds.

<h3>What is the half-life of a substance?</h3>

The half-life of a substance is the time taken for half the amount of atoms present in that substance to decay.

The half-life of the reaction is 200 seconds.

After, one half-life, pressure reduces to 0.0500 atm

After, two half-lives, pressure reduces to 0.0250 atm

After, three half-lives, pressure reduces to 0.01250 atm

After, four half-lives, pressure reduces to 0.00625 atm

Time taken = 4 * 200 = 800 seconds

Therefore, time taken for the partial pressure of ammonia to decrease from 0.100 atm to 0.00625 atm is 800 seconds.

A Cat is on a balcony floor (90cm below the railing), keenly eyeing a butterfly hovering 60 cm above the railing. With what spee

GenaCL600 [577]

We will have the following:

First, the equation to use is the following:

$d=v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Now, we transform the total distance the cat would need to travel:

$90\operatorname{cm}+60\operatorname{cm}=150\operatorname{cm}\cdot\frac{1m}{100\operatorname{cm}}=1.5m$

So, the cat would need to travel 1.5 meters. ("d" in the equation).

Now, using the speed given we determine the time it would take the cat to traverse the 1.5 meters:

$t=\frac{1.5m\cdot1s}{0.45m}\Rightarrow t=\frac{10}{3}\Rightarrow t=3.333\ldots$

So, the time it would take the cat to traverse the distance will be approximately 3.33 seconds.

Now, we know that the acceleration will be given by Earth's gravity, so:

$1.5m=v_0(\frac{10}{3}s)+\frac{1}{2}(-\frac{9.8m}{s^2})(\frac{10}{3}s)^2\Rightarrow1.5m=v_0(\frac{10}{3}s)+(-\frac{490}{9}m)$ $\Rightarrow\frac{1007}{18}m=v_0(\frac{10}{3}s)\Rightarrow v_0=\frac{1007}{60}\frac{m}{s}\Rightarrow v_0=16.78333\ldots$

So, the initial vvelocity the cat must leave the floor in order to arrive at the butterfly with the optimum pouncing speed of 0.45 m/s is approximately 16.78 m/s or exactly 1007/60 m/s.

Light from a helium-neon laser (λ=633nm) passes through a circular aperture and is observed on a screen 5.80 mm behind the apert

Helga [31]

Explanation:

Whenever the light passes through hole or slit then it tends to bend that is actually a diffraction. It will then made the interference pattern of light and dark bands that due to constructive and destructive interference.

So by using the equation of diffraction,

dsinA = nL

SinA is a geometric component it can be written as,

$d\frac{y}{x} = nL$

∵ x is the distance from screen.

∵ y is the half of the width of central maximum.

now by putting the values in mm,

$d\frac{17}{5.80} = 0.000633$

d = 2.15× $10^{-4}$ mm

PLEASE HELP!! URGENTT!

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

120 Newton

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 12 kg

Angle = 4°

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 10 m/s

To find the minimum force to stop the block from sliding;

Force = mgCos(d)

Where;

m is the mass of an object.

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

d is the angle of inclination (theta).

Substituting into the formula we have;

F = 12*10*Cos(4°)

F = 120 * 0.9976

F = 119.71 ≈ 120 Newton
