Answer:

item 3

Explanation:

Filling the gas of car when is more than half empty does not help the environment. Having a full tank does make the car more efficient, though

Carpool and riding bikes limit our Carbon footprint

Recycling batteries and old phones prevent them from poisoning natural environments.

Using grocery bags that are reusable makes us use less plastic.

Answer:

The correct answer is 3.

Explanation:

To help the environment carpooling or cycling more often is essential to reduce the emission of pollutant gases from the internal combustion of the engine, eliminated by the exhaust.

Recycling old batteries and phones is a good way to reduce the accumulation of electronic and hazardous waste such as batteries.

Using reusable grocery bags when shopping would help the plastic problem as an environmental pollutant.

Filling the tank with gasoline only when the tank is half empty would not cause a positive impact on the environment, as it would not reduce the emission of polluting gases.

Have a nice day!

Which sentence describes Newton's first law?

Marrrta [24]

$\Large{\red{\bf{\blue{\dag} Answer:-}}}$

Newton's First Law of Motion :

An object stays in rest or in uniform motion unless and until compelled by an external unbalanced force . This is also known as " Law of Inertia " .

Here this statement is best represented by the statement : Unbalanced forces cause an object to move. [ option c ]

More to know :-

Newton's 3 laws of motion :-

Newton's First Law of Motion :-

It states that an object stays in rest or in uniform motion unless and until compelled by an external unbalanced force . This is also known as " Law of Inertia " .

Ex - (i) We tend to fall backwards while standing in the bus , when it starts suddenly.

(ii) We tend to fall forward while standing in the bus , when it stops suddenly.

Newton's Second Law of Motion :-

It states that the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force in the direction of the force . That is ∆p $\propto$ Force .

Ex - (i) When we push car & a truck with same force the car will have Greater acceleration due to less mass . (Imaginary case ).

(ii) We feel easy to push a empty cart than a full cart .

Newton's Third Law of Motion :-

It states that every action has equal and opposite reaction .

Ex - (i) We are able to walk on ground due to Newton's third law of motion .

(ii) When we push wall it also applies equal and opposite force .

Convert 3402kgm/s to 20000Newtons

oee [108]

The 3,402 has units of kg-m/s. That's momentum. The 20,000 has units of Newtons. That's force. Momentum and force are different physical things, and you can't convert them from one to the other.

The best I can do for you is something like this:

Let's say you have a moving object with 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum, and you want to STOP it completely. You want to stand in front of it and push back on it, hard enough and for long enough to CHANGE its momentum from 3,402 kg-m/s to zero.

Also ... there's a limit to how hard you can push. The most force you can exert is 20,000 Newtons.

The amount you'll change its momentum is called the impulse you give it. The quantity of impulse is (force) x (length of time you push on it).

So you need to keep pushing it back for (T seconds) long enough so that

(20,000 Newtons of force) x (T seconds) = 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum .

Divide each side of that equation by (20,000 Newtons). Then it says:

(T seconds) = (3,402 kg-m/s) / (20,000 Newtons)

T = 0.1701 second

And that's how you provide just enough impulse to stop the flying object ... push on it with 20,000 Newtons of force for exactly 0.1701 second, and it loses all its momentum and falls out of the air onto the ground at your feet.

This story is the closest I can come to anything that looks like "convert"ing momentum into force.

If no friction acts on a diver during a dive, then which of the following statements is true? A) The total mechanical energy of

EleoNora [17]

If no frictional work is considered, then the energy of the system (the driver at all positions is conserved.

Let
position 1 = initial height of the diver (h₁), together with the initial velocity (v₁).
position 2 = final height of the diver (h₂) and the final velocity (v₂).

The initial PE = mgh₁ and the initial KE = (1/2)mv₁²
where g = acceleration due to gravity,
m = mass of the diver.
Similarly, the final PE and KE are respectively mgh₂ and (1/2)mv₂².
PE in position 1 is converted into KE due to the loss in height from position 1 to position 2.

Therefore
(KE + PE) ₁ = (KE + PE)₂

Evaluate the given answers.
A) The total mechanical energy of the system increases.
FALSE

B) Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy but not vice versa.
TRUE

C) (KE + PE)beginning = (KE + PE) end.
TRUE

D) All of the above.
FALSE

Do balanced forces change an objects motion

meriva

If the group of all forces acting on an object is balanced,
then the effect of all of them is the same as if there were
no forces at all on the object. In that case, the object
continues moving in a straight line at a constant speed.
