The pesticide DDT was first made by a chemical company in 1939 and became widely used worldwide. Evidence that DDT builds up in

animal tissues and may cause health problems such as cancer and damage to organs, as detailed in Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring, resulted in DDT being banned in the US in 1972. How do you suppose science and society were affected by the ban of DDT?

DDT or Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane is a kind of pesticide that's colorless and tasteless in form. It has been a known pesticide used for agricultural purposes in the US.It was banned because of its known effects and impact to both humans and other living organisms. A book published by Rachel Carson entitled "Silent Spring" exposed the truth that DDT can cause cancer to humans and is an agricultural threat to wildlife, particularly birds like the bald eagle and the peregrine falcon who were almost near-extinction before the said pesticide was banned.

A child of mass 27 kg swings at the end of an elastic cord. At the bottom of the swing, the child's velocity is horizontal, and
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum is 794.11 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of child = 27 kg

Speed of child in horizontal = 10 m/s

Length = 3.40 m

There is a rate of change of the perpendicular component of momentum.

Centripetal force acts always towards the center.

We need to calculate the magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum

Using formula of momentum

\dfrac{dp}{dt}=F

\dfrac{dP}{dt}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{dP}{dt}=\dfrac{27\times10^2}{3.40}

\dfrac{dP}{dt}=794.11\ N

Hence, The magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum is 794.11 N.

gaseous h2 and br2 are added to an evacuated 1.15L container kept at 298K. The intial partial pressurre of H2(g) is 0.782 atm an
Nastasia [14]

The partial pressures of HBr when the system reaches equilibrium is 2.4 X 10⁻¹¹ atm

<u>Explanation:</u>

H₂ + Br₂ ⇒ 2HBr

PH₂ = 0.782atm

PBr₂ = 0.493atm

Kp = (PHBr)²/ (PH₂) (PBr₂) = 1.4 X 10⁻²¹

At equilibrium:

Let 2x = pressure of HBr

PH₂ = 0.782 -x

PBr₂ = 0.493 - x

Kp = (2x)^2 / (0.782-x)(0.493-x)

Now, because Kp is very small, x will be very small compared to 0.782 and 0.493.

Then,

Kp = 1.4X10⁻²¹ = (4x²) / (0.782)(0.493)

x = 1.2X10⁻¹¹

PHBr = 2x = 2.4 X 10⁻¹¹ atm

Therefore, the partial pressures of HBr when the system reaches equilibrium is 2.4 X 10⁻¹¹ atm

A meter stick balances at the 50.0-cm mark. If a mass of 50.0 g is placed at the 90.0-cm mark, the stick balances at the 61.3-cm
Airida [17]

Answer:

126.99115 g

Explanation:

50 g at 90 cm

Stick balances at 61.3 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

mgl_1=Mgl_2\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{ml_1}{l_2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{50\times (61.3-90)}{50-61.3}\\\Rightarrow M=126.99115\ g

The mass of the meter stick is 126.99115 g

Question 1
Vesna [10]

Answer:

1)  g = 4π² / m, 3) xaxis the  length of the pendulums and the y axis the period squared

Explanation:

a) students can approximate this system to a simple pendulum, in this case the angular velocity is

         w = √ g / l

angular velocity, frequency and period are related

         w = 2π f = 2π / T

we substitute

         T = 2π√ l / g

with this equation they can determine the value of the acceleration of gravity, for this they measure the period for various lengths of the pendulum and graph

        T² = 4π²  l / g

We graph T² vs l

where this is the equation of a line if the independent variable is y = T² and x = l

        y = (4π² / g)  l

so the slope is

         m = 4π² / g

clearing

         g = 4π² / m

where the slope can be found with the values ​​of the line not the experimental values.

2) to carry out the experiment, or the thread is attached to the sphere, the length of the pendulum that goes from the pivot point to the center of the sphere is measured with a tape measure and a small finished angle is turned or less than 10th is released, it is good to wait for the first oscillation to walk, the time of a determined number of oscillations is generally measured 10 or 20, the period is calculated

    T = t / n

a table of T² against the length is made and it is plotted with the length in the ax ax, we look for the slope and hence the acceleration of gravity

3) on the independent x-axis, the controlled variable must be plotted, which is the length of the pendulums, and on the y-axis, the dependent variable is the period squared

4) of the equation of the line

            m = 4pi2 / g

                 where it ends up reaching the floor

            g = 4pi2 / m

5) when the spring is cut, the sphere remains under the effect of gravity acceleration, the harmonic movement disappears and the sphere is in a vertical movement
