Answer:

Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is in the form of O2, which means it is made up of molecules containing two oxygen atoms. Ozone, however is O3, which means it is made up of molecules containing three oxygen atoms. O2 is what we breath, and what plants release from photosynthesis. Ozone occurs naturally high in the stratosphere, where it absorbs ultraviolet light, protecting us here on the surface from skin cancer. Ozone can also occur closer to the surface of the earth as a pollutant. It is formed from reactions with O2 and chemicals emitted from factories and cars. It comes in the form of smog.

So in general:

Oxygen (O2): Essential to human life

Ozone (O3) in the stratosphere: essential to protecting life on earth

Ozone (O3) on the surface of the earth: toxic to human life, caused by pollution

A 71-kg swimmer dives horizontally off a 500-kg raft. If the diver's speed immediately after leaving the raft is 6m/s, what is t

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Momentum is used to measure the quantity of motion in an object. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Momentum = mass * velocity

The principle of conservation of momentum states that momentum cannot be created or destroyed but can be transferred. Therefore the momentum before and after an action is equal.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Let m be the mass of the diver, M be the mass of the raft, u be the initial velocity of the diver, U be the initial velocity of the raft, v be the final velocity of the diver and V be the final velocity of the raft.

m = 71 kg, M = 500 kg, v = 6 m/s

Initial both the raft and diver are at rest, hence u and U is zero, hence:

mu + MU = mv + MV

71(0) + 500(0) = 71(6) + 500(V)

0 = 426 + 500(V)

500(V) = -426

V = -426/500

V = -0.852 m/s

In 1970, a rocket powered car called Blue Flame achieved a maximum speed of 1.00(10 km/h (278m/s).Suppose the magnitude of the c

sammy [17]

Answer:

Distance traveled during this acceleration will be 6950 m

Explanation:

Wear have given maximum speed tat will be equal to final speed of the car v = 278 m/sec

Constant acceleration $a=5.56m/sec^2$

As the car starts initially starts from rest so initial velocity of the car u = 0 m/sec

From third equation of motion $v^2=u^2+2as$

Putting all values in equation

$278^2=0^2+2\times 5.56\times s$

s = 6950 m

So distance traveled during this acceleration will be 6950 m

A 12.0-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 109-g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface a

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

v₀ = 280.6 m / s

Explanation:

we have the shock between the bullet and the block that we can work with at the moment and another part where the assembly (bullet + block) compresses a spring, which we can work with mechanical energy,

We write the mechanical energy when the shock has passed the bodies

Em₀ = K = ½ (m + M) v²

We write the mechanical energy when the spring is in maximum compression

$Em_{f} = K_{e} \\= \frac{1}{2} kx^2\\ Em_0 = Em_{f}$

½ (m + M) v² = ½ k x²

Let's calculate the system speed

v = √ [k x² / (m + M)]

v = √[152 ×0.78² / (0.012 +0.109) ]

v = 27.65 m / s

This is the speed of the bullet + Block system

Now let's use the moment to solve the shock

Before the crash

p₀ = m v₀

After the crash

$p_{f} = (m + M) v$

The system is formed by the bullet and block assembly, so the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is preserved

$p_0 = p_{f}$

m v₀ = (m + M) v

v₀ = v (m + M) / m

let's calculate

v₀ = 27.83 (0.012 +0.109) /0.012

v₀ = 280.6 m / s
