In 1630 at the beginning of European settlement, about 425,000,000 hectares of the United States were covered with trees. By 2017, the area covered by trees was reduced to 300,000,000 hectares. What is the percentage decrease in the area covered by trees between 1630 and 2017?
Answer:
29.41%
Explanation:
Given that,
In 1630 at the beginning of European settlement, about 425,000,000 hectares of the United States were covered with trees.
By 2017, the area covered by trees was reduced to 300,000,000 hectares.
We need to find the percentage decrease in the area covered by trees between 1630 and 2017.
The percentage decrease in any value is given by :
[tex]\%=\dfrac{300,000,000 -425,000,000 }{425,000,000 }\times 100\\\\=29.41\%[/tex]
So, the percentage decrease in the area covered by the trees is 29.41%.
What conclusion can you draw from the information shown in the graph?
O A. Global temperatures are increasing due to human activity.
B. Earth is currently experiencing a period of global warming.
O C. Temperature is the only aspect of climate that is changing.
O D. Global temperatures are increasing due to natural causes.
Answer:
The correct option is;
B. Earth is currently experiencing a period of global warming
Explanation:
From the graph, we have;
1) From 1880 to 1900 the temperature anomaly (°C) averages a few degrees below the average surface temperature
2) The decrease below the average surface temperature is larger from 1900 to 1920
3) The surface temperature rises more steadily from below average to a little above average from 1920 to 1940
4) Between 1940 to 1980, the temperature hovers around the average surface temperature
5) The Earth's surface temperature is more or less steadily increasing from 1960 to present
Therefore, the Earth is experiencing a period of global warming

A distance of 0.002 m separates two objects of equal mass. If the gravitational force between them is
0.0104 N, find the mass of each object.
Answer: 24.97 kg
Explanation:
The gravitational force between two objects of masses M1, and M2 respectively, and separated by a distance R, is:
F = G*(M1*M2)/R^2
Where G is the gravitational constant:
G = 6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s^2)
In this case, we know that
R = 0.002m
F = 0.0104 N
and that M1 = M2 = M
And we want to find the value of M, then we can replace those values in the equation to get
0.0104 N = (6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s^2))*(M*M)/(0.002m)^2
(0.0104 N)*(0.002m)^2/(6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s^2)) = M^2
623.69 kg^2 = M^2
√(623.69 kg^2) = M = 24.97 kg
This means that the mass of each object is 24.97 kg

How are the energy conversions of machines similar to the energy conversions in your body
Answer:
Explained below
Explanation:
When we eat food, our body gets chemical energy from it. Now, this chemical energy from the food is changed into some different energy forms that is useful to it. They include:
-Chemical to mechanical energy to aid in movement of muscles
- chemical to thermal energy to aid in regulating the body temperature.
- chemical to electrical energy to aid the brain in thinking.
Thus is similar to how a machine converts energy because machines also generate energy after being powered and convert to other forms of energy. For example, an alarm clock converts electrical energy to sound energy, hair dryer converts electrical energy to thermal/heat energy.

How can shorter string produce more fundamental frequency in two string of different length?
Answer:
Shorter string produces more frequency in two different strings because the equation for frequency is velocity/wavelength , this means that a shorter string creates a shorter wavelength which essentially increases the total frequency produced
A sled is slowing down at the bottom of a snowy hill.
Which statement describes the sled's motion?
The sled has a constant velocity.
The sled is accelerating.
Is a sled slowing down at the bottom of a snowy hill accelerating or constant velocity
Answer:
A sled and its rider are moving at a speed of along a horizontal stretch of snow, as Figure 4.24a illustrates. The snow exerts a kinetic frictional force on the runners of the sled, so the sled slows down and eventually comes to a stop. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.050. What is the displacement x of the sled?

A dart is thrown from 1.50 m high at 10.0 m/s toward a target 1.73 m from the ground. At what angle was the dart thrown?
Answer:
The angle of projection is 12.26⁰.
Explanation:
Given;
initial position of the dart, h₀ = 1.50 m
height above the ground reached by the dart, h₁ = 1.73 m
maximum height reached by the dart, Hm = h₁ - h₀ = 1.73 m - 1.50 m= 0.23 m
velocity of the dart, u = 10 m/s
The maximum height reached by the projectile is calculated as;
[tex]H_m = \frac{u^2sin^2 \theta}{2g}[/tex]
where;
θ is angle of projection
g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
[tex]H_m = \frac{u^2sin^2 \theta}{2g}\\\\sin^2 \theta = \frac{H_m \ \times \ 2g}{u^2} \\\\sin^2 \theta = \frac{0.23 \ \times \ 2(9.8)}{10^2} \\\\sin ^2\theta =0.04508\\\\sin \theta = \sqrt{0.04508} \\\\sin \theta = 0.2123\\\\\theta = sin^{-1}(0.2123)\\\\\theta = 12.26^0[/tex]
Therefore, the angle of projection is 12.26⁰.
Sam is moving house and is carrying a 300N box of books up a flight of steps 5m high, it takes her 30 seconds. Gary follows her carrying a bag of clothes doing 1000 J of work; it only takes him 25 seconds. Who provides the biggest power? Show your working.
Answer: Sam provides the biggest power
Explanation: Power is defined, in Physics, as the rate of work done. Work is energy transferred to an object due to the force causing the displacement of the object.
So, to determine Power:
For Sam:
P = [tex]\frac{work}{time}[/tex]
[tex]P=\frac{F.d}{t}[/tex]
[tex]P=\frac{300.5}{30}[/tex]
P = 50 Watts
The unit for Power is [P] = J/s = Watt
For Gary:
P = [tex]\frac{work}{time}[/tex]
[tex]P=\frac{1000}{25}[/tex]
P = 40 Watts
Comparing power of Sam and Gary, we can conclude that Sam provides the biggest power of 50 Watts.

Explanation:
Sam is moving house and is carrying a 300N box of books up a flight of steps 5m high, it takes her 30 seconds. Gary follows her carrying a bag of clothes doing 1000 J of work; it only takes him 25 seconds. Who provides the biggest power? Show your working.
Answer:
Sam is providing the biggest power i.e. 50 W
Explanation:
Sam is moving house and is carrying a 300N box of books up a flight of steps 5m high, it takes her 30 seconds.
Sam's power :
[tex]P_1=\dfrac{W_1}{t_1}\\\\P_1=\dfrac{F_1d}{t_1}\\\\P_1=\dfrac{300\times 5}{30}\\\\P_1=50\ W[/tex]
Gary follows her carrying a bag of clothes doing 1000 J of work; it only takes him 25 seconds.
Gary's power :
[tex]P_2=\dfrac{W_2}{t_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{1000}{25}\\\\P_2=40\ W[/tex]
So, it is clear that Sam is providing the biggest power.

What causes wind to follow patterns
Answer: Wind follows a pattern because the Earth is spinning in one motion. If we were spinning in one way then another we would have one day go by then the spinning cycle would change and we would have to go through that day all over again, it would not be logical because then we would be in the same season as well, we would be in one season for the rest of our lives until we died.

A ball is pushed into a spring-loaded launcher with a force of 20 N, which compresses the spring 0.08 m.
A) What is the spring constant of the spring
B) Find the elastic potential energy (PEs) stored in the spring (or the work done on the spring)
Answer:
0.8J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Force = 20N
Compression = 0.08m
Unknown:
Spring constant = ?
Elastic potential energy = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we use the expression below:
F = k e
F is the force
k is the spring constant
e is the compression
20 = k x 0.08
k = 250N/m
Elastic potential energy;
EPE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] k e² = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 250 x 0.08²
Elastic potential energy = 0.8J
