Why do natural polymers not pose as much of an issue in landfills as synthetic polymers?

Physics

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.

At some airports there are speed ramps to help passengers get from one place to another. A speed ramp is a moving conveyor belt
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The time taken is t_s = 31.16 s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The length of the speed ramp is L = 104m

     The speed of the speed ramp is v_r  = 2.1 m/s

      The time taken to cover the distance is t = 84 s

     

The walking speed( when not on the speed ramp)  required to  cover the 104m is mathematically represented as

                     v_w = \frac{L}{t}

Substituting values

                      v_w = \frac{104}{84}

                            = 1.238 m/s

The speed required to cover the 104m distance when on a speed speed ramp  is mathematically represented as

     v = The\ walking\ speed  +  speed \ of \ the \ speed \ ramp

 substituting values

               v = 2.1 + 1.238

               v = 3.338 m/s

Now the time taken to travel the 104m distance when walking on the speed ramp is mathematically evaluated as

                t_s = \frac{L}{v}

                     = \frac{104}{3.338}

                     t_s = 31.16 s

This problem has been solved!
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this problem we can use Bohr's atomic model, to deal with the electronic transition, so we can have transitions between two given states.

           ΔE = E_{f} -E₀

Lower state     final state                     energy

Fundamental      first excited state          ΔE₁ = -2.4 - (-4.7)  = 2.3 eV

Fundamental      second excited state   ΔE₂ = -1.0 - (-4.7) = 3.7 eV

Fundamental      third excited state        ΔE₃ = -0.3 - (-4.7) = 4.4 eV

As they indicate that there are no electrons in the excited states these are the only possible transitions.

When a wide range of light strikes, the frequencies of these energies are absorbed and observed as black bands (absence of radiation) in the spectrum.
