2. A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 22m/s.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy E is conserved:

$E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh$

If v₀ = 22m/s, h₀=0m and h₁=25m:

$E=\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2+mgh_1$

Solving for v₁:

$v_1=\sqrt{v_0^2-2gh_1}$

There is no real solution, because the stone never reaches 25m.

A 2.0 m tall person is standing in front of a flat vertical mirror. What minimum height must the mirror have if the person is to

dangina [55]

Answer:

100cm

Explanation:

Since the eyes are 6 cm below the top of her head, the point of incidence of the ray must be

200cm-3cm=197cm

Since the eyes are 194 cm from her feet, the point of incidence of this ray must be

194cm/2=97cm

So the lower edge of the mirror must be 97 cm from the ground and the vertical dimension of the mirror must be 197 cm - 97 cm = 100 cm, which is half the height of the person.

Answer:

ΔK = -6 10⁴ J

Explanation:

This is a crash problem, let's start by defining a system formed by the two trucks, so that the forces during the crash have been internal and the moment is preserved

initial instant. Before the crash

p₀ = m v₁ + M 0

final instant. Right after the crash

p_f = (m + M) v

p₀ = p_f

mv₁ = (m + M) v

v = $\frac{m}{m+M} \ v_1$

we substitute

v = $\frac{20}{20+40}$ 3

v = 1.0 m / s

having the initial and final velocities, let's find the kinetic energy

K₀ = ½ m v₁² + 0

K₀ = ½ 20 10³ 3²

K₀ = 9 10⁴ J

K_f = ½ (m + M) v²

K_f = ½ (20 +40) 10³ 1²

K_f = 3 10⁴ J

the change in energy is

ΔK = K_f - K₀

ΔK = (3 - 9) 10⁴

ΔK = -6 10⁴ J

The negative sign indicates that the energy is ranked in another type of energy

As part of the Antarctic Treaty System, all facilities on Antarctica are inspected. What is one reason there's a need for these

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

D. To ensure common resources are not overused

Explanation:

The article of the antarctic treaty VII provides that all the consultative parties have a right to designate the observers and to undertake the inspection as of the protocol 14 of that provides the protection of the environment and to safeguard the ecological system.

Since 1963, about 9 inspections have been conducted by the teams by visiting the stations, facilities, the vessels, and the protected areas across a wide area of East Antarctica, The most recent Antarctica expedition treaty inspection was done in Dec 2016.
