Answer:

Most polymers, including poly(ethene) and poly(propene) are not biodegradable . This means that microorganisms cannot break them down, so they: cause a litter problem if disposed of carelessly. last for many years in landfill sites.

Red Riding Hood sat down to rest and placed her 1.20-kg basket of goodies beside her. A wolf came along, spotted the basket, and
anygoal [31]

Answer:

  117.6°

Explanation:

The vertical component of a force directed at some angle α from the vertical is ...

  F·cos(α)

We want the vertical components of the wolf's force (Fw) and Red's force (Fr) to total zero. So for some angle from vertical α, Red's force will satisfy ...

  Fw·cos(25°) + Fr·cos(α) = 0

  cos(α) = -Fw/Fr·cos(25°) ≈ -(6.4 N)/(12.5 N)·0.906308 ≈ -0.464030

  α ≈ arccos(-0.464030) ≈ 117.6°

Red was pulling at an angle of about 117.6° from the vertical.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

That's about 27.6° below the horizontal.

The 20-g bullet is travelling at 400 m/s when it becomes embedded in the 2-kg stationary block. The coefficient of kinetic frict
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The distance the block will slide before it stops is 3.3343 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of bullet, m₁ = 20-g = 0.02 kg

speed of the bullet, u₁ =  400 m/s

mass of block, m₂ = 2-kg

coefficient of kinetic friction,  μk = 0.24

Step 1:

Determine the speed of the bullet-block system:

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is the speed of the bullet-block system after collision

(0.02 x 400) + (2 x 0) = v (0.02 + 2)

8 = v (2.02)

v = 8/2.02

v = 3.9604 m/s

Step 2:

Determine the time required for the bullet-block system to stop

Apply the principle of conservation momentum of the system

v(m_1+m_2) -F_kt = v_f(m_1 +m_2)\\\\v(m_1+m_2) -N \mu_kt = v_f(m_1 +m_2)\\\\v(m_1+m_2) -g(m_1 +m_2) \mu_kt = v_f(m_1 +m_2)\\\\3.9604(2.02)-9.8(2.02)0.24t = v_f(2.02)\\\\8 - 4.751t = 2.02v_f\\\\3.9604 - 2.352t = v_f

when the system stops, vf = 0

3.9604 -2.352t = 0

2.352t = 3.9604

t = 3.9604/2.352

t = 1.684 s

Thus, time required for the system to stop is 1.684 s

Finally, determine the distance the block will slide before it stops

From kinematic, distance is the product of speed and time

S = \int\limits {v} \, dt \\\\S = \int\limits^t_0 {(3.9604-2.352t)} \, dt\\\\ S = 3.9604t - 1.176t^2

Now, recall that t = 1.684 s

S = 3.9604(1.684) - 1.176(1.684)²

S = 6.6693 - 3.3350

S = 3.3343 m

Thus, the distance the block will slide before it stops is 3.3343 m

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) I = ½mR² = ½(19)(0.15²) = 0.21375 kg•m²

b) τ = Fnet(r) = (25 - 12)(0.15) = 1.95 N•m

c) CCW

d) a = τ/I = 1.95 / 0.21375 = 9.12280701... = 9.1 rad/s²

e) CCW
