There are both advantages and disadvantages in using plastics:
The advantages are:
Plastic is cheap to manufacture because it is easy to mold. It is light but durable and unbreakable. Plastic does not rust and it is water resistant.
Plastic is reusable over and over again and when it is worn, the cost of replacement is cheaper than glass or rubber. It is odorless and chemical resistant.
The disadvantages of plastic are:
Plastic can cause cancer. Recycling plastic can cause toxic chemicals to be released during the process. It has low heat resistance and melts when placed near fires. Plastic containers for food absorb the smell of the food even when washed thoroughly. Small parts in plastic toys can cause choking in small children, the same with plastic bags when accidentally wrapped around children's heads. Plastics can clog up sewer systems when people through them away indiscriminately.

Amotor supplied by 240V requires 12A to lift a 2000 lb at a rate of 25 ft/min, me power input to the motor is-

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Power input, P = 2880 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of the motor, V = 240 V

Current required, I = 12 A

Weight lifted, W = 2000 lb

It is lifting at a speed of 25 ft/min. We need to find the power input to the motor. The product of current and voltage is called power input of the motor.

$P=I\times V$

$P=12\ A\times 240\ V$

P = 2880 watts

So, the power input of the motor is 2880 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

Any two application of gravity

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Well the definition of an application is the act of putting to a special use or purpose so lam assuming that you want specific uses that scientists make of gravity in their work.

Well our first application has helped us to send satellites around the solar system with what Nasa calls gravity assist. Using a particular planets gravity to slingshot a satellite to another destination. Look it up.

The next application much simpler but here on Earth. There are many hydro-electric power stations in use all over the world. Water is stored at a high level and released falling 100s of metres to a turbine where it generates electricity.

Hope that helps.

100 POINTS! I will mark brainliest! Record your hypothesis as an “if, then” statement for the rate of dissolving the compounds:

love history [14]

Answer:

Rate of dissolving compounds:

If we increase the temperature of the solution, then the dissolving compound would dissolve more easily.

Boiling Point of Compounds:

If the inter-molecular forces of any compound is really strong, then the boiling point of the compound would be really high.

A train starts at rest in a station and accelerates at a constant 0.987 m/s2 for 182 seconds. Then the train decelerates at a co

algol [13]

Answer:

$\displaystyle X_T=66.6\ km$

Explanation:

Accelerated Motion

When a body changes its speed at a constant rate, i.e. same changes take same times, then it has a constant acceleration. The acceleration can be positive or negative. In the first case, the speed increases, and in the second time, the speed lowers until it eventually stops. The equation for the speed vf at any time t is given by

$\displaystyle V_f=V_o+a\ t$

where a is the acceleration, and vo is the initial speed .

The train has two different types of motion. It first starts from rest and has a constant acceleration of $0.987 m/s^2$ for 182 seconds. Then it brakes with a constant acceleration of $-0.321 m/s^2$ until it comes to a stop. We need to find the total distance traveled.

The equation for the distance is

$\displaystyle X=V_o\ t+\frac{a\ t^2}{2}$

Our data is

$\displaystyle V_o=0,a=0.987m/s^2,\ t=182\ sec$

Let's compute the first distance X1

$\displaystyle X_1=0+\frac{0.987\times 182^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle X_1=16,346.7\ m$

Now, we find the speed at the end of the first period of time

$\displaystyle V_{f1}=0+0.987\times 182$

$\displaystyle V_{f1}=179.6\ m/s$

That is the speed the train is at the moment it starts to brake. We need to compute the time needed to stop the train, that is, to make vf=0

$\displaystyle V_o=179.6,a=-0.321\ m/s^2\ ,V_f=0$

$\displaystyle t=\frac{v_f-v_o}{a}=\frac{0-179.6}{-0.321}$

$\displaystyle t=559.5\ sec$

Computing the second distance

$\displaystyle X_2=179.6\times559.5\ \frac{-0.321\times 559.5^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle X_2=50,243.2\ m$

The total distance is

$\displaystyle X_t=x_1+x_2=16,346.7+50,243.2$

$\displaystyle X_t=66,589.9\ m$

$\displaystyle \boxed{X_T=66.6\ km}$

What is demonstrated by water moving up a straw?

Alja [10]

The answer is C: water is drawn up a straw by cohesion and adhesion. Water molecules stick to one another and the walls of the straw, just like in a capillary.
Cohesion is the attractive force between like materials (between water
molecules).
Adhesion is the attractive force between twounlike materials (such as between
water and a solid container).
Capillary action is the tendency of a liquid to rise innarrow tubes or small openings as a result of adhesion and cohesion.
The liquid water molecules bind to the straw—a process known as adhesion. In the narrow space of the straw, the interaction of cohesion and adhesion causes theliquid to be drawn upward in the straw.
