Answer:

Volcanic eruptions cool down the planet

Explanation:

Volcanic eruptions actually cool the planet because the particles ejected from volcanoes shade incoming solar radiation. ... The small ash and aerosol particles decrease the amount of sunlight reaching the surface of the Earth and lower average global temperatures.

Hope this helps!!! :D

A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1200 kg, which is required to travel upward 54 m in

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The average power is calculated as 735.0 W

Solution:

As per the question:

Total mass, M = 1200 kg

Counter mass of the elevator, m = 950

Distance traveled by the elevator, d = 54 m

Time taken, t = 3 min = 180 s

Now,

To calculate the average power:

First, we find the force needed for lifting the weight:

Force, F = (M - m)g = $(1200 - 950)\times 9.8 = 2450 N$

Now, the work done by this force:

W = Fd = $2450\times 54 = 132300\ J = 132.3\ kJ$

Average power is given as:

$P_{avg} = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{132300}{180} = 735.0\ W$

A ball rolls down a hill and hits a box. The momentum of the ball decreases. Which happens to the momentum? Select one of the op

Irina-Kira [14]

<span>So we want to know what happens to the momentum of the ball that rolls down hill and hits a box. So we need to use the law of conservation of momentum which states that the momentum must be conserved. It cant be transformed into inertia or mass. It can only be transferred to other object via some interactions like collisions. So it has to be a. transferred to the box and that is the correct answer. </span>

A circular test track for cars has a circumference of 3.5 kmkm . A car travels around the track from the southernmost point to t

elixir [45]

Answer:

(A) Distance will be equal to 1.75 km

(B) Displacement will be equal to 1.114 km

Explanation:

We have given circumference of the circular track = 3.5 km

Circumference is given by $2\pi r=3.5$

r = 0.557 km

(a) It is given that car travels from southernmost point to the northernmost point.

For this car have to travel the distance equal to semi perimeter of the circular track

So distance will be equal to $=\frac{3.5}{2}=1.75km$

(b) If car go along the diameter of the circular track then it will also go from southernmost point to the northernmost point. and it will be equal to diameter of the track

So displacement will be equal to d = 2×0.557 = 1.114 m

I'm walking 1.6m/s to 7-11 and it started to rain so I sped up to 2.7m/s in 1.2

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

$a = \frac{v_f-v_0}{t}$ which is the final velocity minus the initial velocity in the numerator, and the change in time in the denominator. For us:

$a=\frac{2.7-1.6}{1.2}$ so

a = .92 m/s/s (NOT negative because you're speeding up)
