The amount of sea ice and permafrost have steadily decreased near Shishmaref, Alaska, over the last century. The loss of ice has allowed ocean waves to erode the land and destroy property. What might be causing this melting?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Climate change, where there is an increase in the average temperature, due to continuous human activities. These activities increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Alaska is the largest state in the United States, and it has a cold climate. The climate changed over time as human activities such as coal mining contributed to greenhouse gas emissions leading to global warming. Over the years. the variations in weather leading to climate change melt the permafrost (frozen ground below the soil surface) causing ocean waves to erode the land and destroy property.

Ella had a beaker of warm water Its temperature was 70 degrees celsius She poured in some water and stirred the mixture. When she measured the temperature of the water, it had fallen to 40 degree celsius
Explain why the temperature of the water decreased when the cold water was added to it

Answers

[tex] \mathfrak{\huge{ \mathfrak{  \underline{ Answer }}}\:  ✓ }[/tex]

We know, hot water has more energy than the cold water , so when cold water is added in the beaker then heat transfer occurs from hot water to cold water to balance the Energy, causing the drop of temperature from 70° C to 40° C.

Note : Heat transfers occurs from hotter object to cooler one.

A couple is sitting side-by-side. By what factor should the distance between them be changed by if the attractive force is to be halved?

Answers

Answer:

the distance should be changed by a factor of √2

Explanation:

The attractive force between the couples can be given by Newton's Law of Gravitation:

[tex]F =\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}[/tex]

where,

F = Attractive Force

G = Universal Gravitational Constant

m₁ = mass of the first person

m₂ = mass of the second person

r = distance between them

Now, if we want to halve the force without changing masses, hen:

[tex]F' = \frac{1}{2} F = \frac{1}{2} \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F' = \frac{1}{2} F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{(\sqrt{2}r)^2}[/tex]

Hence, it is clear that the distance should be changed by a factor of √2

When a traffic light turns from red to green, it takes much more force and time for a large truck to get going than it does a small, compact car. This is an example of which law of motion?

Answers

Answer:

First Law of Motion.

Explanation:

Inertia can be defined as the tendency of an object or a body to continue in its state of motion or remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

In physics, Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion is known as Law of Inertia and it states that, an object or a physical body in motion will continue in its state of motion at continuous velocity (the same speed and direction) or, if at rest, will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

The inertia of a physical object such as a truck is greatly dependent or influenced by its mass; the higher the quantity of matter in a truck, the greater will be its tendency to continuously remain at rest.

Hence, it would take much more force and time for a large truck to get going when the traffic light turns green than it does for a small, compact car. This is an example of the first law of motion.

What will be the change in "velocity" of a 991 kg car if a force of 31,770 N is applied to it for 0.4 seconds?

Answers

Answer: [tex]12.82\ m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

Mass of car [tex]m=991\ kg[/tex]

Force applied [tex]F=31,770\ N[/tex]

time period [tex]t=0.4\ s[/tex]

Acceleration associated with car

[tex]\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{31770}{991}\\\\\Rightarrow a=32.05\ m/s^2[/tex]

Acceleration is the change in velocity w.r.t time

[tex]\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\\\\Rightarrow 32.05=\dfrac{\Delta v}{0.4}\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta v=12.82\ m/s[/tex]

thus, the change in velocity is [tex]12.82\ m/s[/tex]

A un cuerpo de 4kg que está en reposo sobre la superficie de la tierra, se aplica durante 8seg una fuerza de 60N dirigida verticalmente hacia arriba. Calcule la altura máxima que alcanza el cuerpo.

Answers

Answer:

[tex] y_{t} = 253.94 m [/tex]

Explanation:

Para resolver este problema debemos contemplar dos tramos.

En el primer tramo, la fuerza aplicada impulsa al cuerpo a subir una altura dada debido a la aceleración que genera esa fuerza.

[tex] \Sigma F = ma [/tex]

[tex] F - P = ma [/tex]

[tex] F - mg = ma [/tex]

En donde:

F: es la fuerza aplicada = 60 N

P: es el peso del cuerpo = mg

m: es la masa del cuerpo = 4 kg

g: es la aceleración debido a la gravedad = 9.81 m/s²

a: es la aceleración

Entonces, la aceleración generada por la fuerza aplicada es:

[tex] a = \frac{F - mg}{m} = \frac{60 N - 4kg*9.81 m/s^{2}}{4 kg} = 5.19 m/s^{2} [/tex]

Ahora, debemos calcular la altura recorrida mientras el cuerpo está acelerado hacia arriba:

[tex] y_{{1}} = y_{0} + v_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2} [/tex]  

En donde:

[tex] y_{1}[/tex]: es la altura final del tramo 1 =?                                                                          [tex] y_{0}[/tex]: es la altura inicial = 0  

[tex] v_{0}[/tex]: es la velocidad inicial = 0 (parte del reposo)  

t: es el tiempo = 8 s

[tex] y_{1} = 0 + 0 + \frac{1}{2}5.19 m/s^{2}*(8 s)^{2} = 166.08 m [/tex]  

Por lo tanto, mientras el cuerpo está acelerado (durante los 8 s) recorre 166.08 metros.  

Ahora, en el segundo tramo el cuerpo sigue subiendo hasta alcanzar una altura máxima para luego comenzar a descender. Podemos usar la siguiente ecuación para calcular la altura recorrida.  

[tex] v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} - 2gy_{2} [/tex]  

En donde:    

[tex] v_{f}[/tex]: es la velocidad final = 0 (en la altura máxima)

[tex] v_{0}[/tex]: es la velocidad inicial

Primero debemos encontrar la velocidad inicial en el segundo tramo, que es igual a la velocidad final del primer tramo:

[tex] v_{f} = \sqrt{v_{0} + 2ay_{1}} = \sqrt{0 + 2*5.19 m/s^{2}*166.08 m} = 41.52 m/s [/tex]    

Entonces, la altura recorrida en el segundo tramo es:

[tex] y_{2} = \frac{v_{0}^{2} - v_{f}^{2}}{2g} = \frac{(41.52 m/s)^{2} - 0}{2*9.81 m/s^{2}} = 87.86 m [/tex]

Finalmente, la altura máxima es:

[tex]y_{t} = y_{1} + y_{2} = 166.08 m + 87.86 m = 253.94 m[/tex]

I am so sorry to ask again but I suck at science and I rlly need help so could any one help me plzz and btw ty to jasminegomez18 for helping me with the other question I really appreciate thank you ! :) Ever since e-commerce started rising in prominence, the value of the retail showroom has diminished significantly. After all, consumers no longer need to visit a store to see what types of products are available for purchase. Not only does a quick search on Amazon accomplish this goal within seconds, but the site also provides helpful resources such as customer reviews and recommendations. Nevertheless, the online retail model doesn't work the same way for all products. Consumers on the whole still visit showrooms when they're looking to buy big expensive items like cars or mattresses.Thanks to a new wave of startups, however, online retailers are beginning to break through these barriers of size and expense. While many consumers remain reluctant to purchase a car without driving it, online mattress sellers like Casper and Leesa Sleep are winning over thousands with a streamlined approach. Customers simply select the size they want, pay for it, and then wait for the mattress to arrive at their doorstep compressed into a single box. Most showrooms contain a variety of mattresses that can greatly fluctuate in price depending on what sales are happening at the moment. Customers then learn all these intricate details from assertive salespeople on the hunt for a commission.Today's online mattress sellers cut out this rigmarole by using simplified inventory and fixed prices. But that doesn't necessarily mean these brands provide customers with the best deal possible. For instance, a king from Casper costs $950, not exactly a bargain for a foam mattress. In fact, customers could likely get a better deal if they were simply willing to do some haggling at a showroom. For Casper's customers, though, the company's appeal lies in its convenience rather than its value. There's also little risk in trying out a compressed mattress: Casper offers free shipping, 100-day guarantees and free returns on all of their products. While it remains to be seen if these upstarts can take on the $14 billion U.S. mattress industry, Casper's $100 million in sales during its first year of operation suggests that they're certainly on the right track.Requried:a.
