What hidden costs of using DDT did Rachel Carson call attention to?

Physics
1 answer:
Sveta_85 [38]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The ban was intended to prevent the imminent extinction of ospreys, peregrine falcons, and bald eagles, our national bird, among other species; they were vulnerable because DDT caused a fatal thinning of eggshells, which collapsed under the weight of the parent incubating them.

Explanation:

The hidden cost was to control pests was washing off into rivers and streams, poisoning fish, birds, and even humans with toxic chemicals.

Hope this helps

Earth’s polar ice caps contain about 2.3 × 1019 kg of ice. This mass contributes essentially nothing to the moment of inertia of
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial moment of inertia of the earth I₁ = 2/5 MR² , M is mss of the earth and R is the radius . If ice melts , it forms an equivalent shell of mass  2.3 x 10¹⁹ Kg

Final moment of inertia I₂ = 2/5 M R² + 2/3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²

For change in period of rotation we shall apply conservation of angular momentum law

I₁ ω₁  = I₂ ω₂  ,  ω₁ and   ω₂ are angular velocities initially and finally .

I₁ / I₂     =  ω₂ / ω₁

I₁ / I₂     =  T₁ / T₂  , T₁ , T₂ are time period initially and finally .

T₂ / T₁ = I₂ / I₁

(2/5 M R² + 2/3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²) / 2/5 MR²

1 + 5 / 3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / M

= 1 + 5 / 3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / 5.97 x 10²⁴

= 1 + .0000064

T₂ = 24 (1 + .0000064)

= 24 hours + .55 s

change in length of the day = .55 s .

Cliff divers at Acapulco jump into the sea macias (fjm793) – Homework 3, 2d motion 19-20 – dowd – (WoffordWPHY11920 2) 4 from a
Stells [14]

Answer:

v = 7.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

horizontal distance 11.98 m

Acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/s^2

Assuming initial velocity is zero

we know that

h = \frac{gt^2}{2}

solving for t

we have

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

substituing all value for time t

t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 11.98}{9.8}}

t = 1.56 s

we know that speed is given as

v = \frac{d}{t}

v =\frac{11.98}{1.56}

v = 7.67 m/s

Metals are good conductors of electric current for which of the following reasons?They possess high concentrations of protonsThe
KatRina [158]

The correct answer is: They possess high concentrations of free electrons

The main characteristic of good conductors such as metals is the presence of movable electrically charged particles, or electrons. So, when an electric current is applied to a metal, the electrons will move and allow electricity to pass through them. Materials opposite of metals, with low electron mobility are not good conductors, instead they are called insulators.
