Answer:
Strategies to ensure that - forests are continued source of resources.
Explanation:
Forests continued sustainable use, ie today's use without compromising with tomorrow's needs - can be done using following strategies
By protection against Environment Degradation phenomenas - Soil Erosion (Erosion of top most fertile layer of soil), Land Degradation (Land losing its essential valuable nutrients) By ensuring that rate of extraction of forest resources is less than their replenishment rate, & our waste generation into forests is less than their absorptive capacity.Uranium-235 decays to thorium-231 with a half-life of 700 million years. When a rock was formed, it contained 6400 million uranium-235 nuclei and no thorium-231 nuclei. Show that after 2100 million years there are seven times more thorium nuclei than uranium nuclei in the rock.
Answer:
proof in explanation
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the number of half-lives:
[tex]n = \frac{t}{t_{1/2}}[/tex]
where,
n = no. of half-lives = ?
t = total time passed = 2100 million years
[tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] = half-life = 700 million years
Therefore,
[tex]n = \frac{2100\ million\ years}{700\ million\ years}\\\\n = 3[/tex]
Now, we will calculate the number of uranium nuclei left ([tex]n_u[/tex]):
[tex]n_u = \frac{1}{2^{n} }(total\ nuclei)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{2^{3} }(6400\ million)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{8}(6400\ million)\\\\n_u = 800\ million[/tex]
and the rest of the uranium nuclei will become thorium nuclei ([tex]u_{th}[/tex])
[tex]n_{th} = total\ nuclei - n_u\\n_{th} = 6400\ million-800\ million\\n_{th} = 5600\ million[/tex]
dividing both:
[tex]\frac{n_{th}}{n_u}=\frac{5600\ million}{800\ million} \\\\n_{th} = 7n_u[/tex]
Hence, it is proven that after 2100 million years there are seven times more thorium nuclei than uranium nuclei in the rock.

A 90-meter train travels at a constant speed of 10 meters per second. How long will it take to cross a 0.06 bridge?
Answer:
The time taken for the train to cross the bridge is 9.01 s
Explanation:
Given;
length of the train, L₁ = 90 m
length of the bridge, L₂ = 0.06 m
speed of the train, v = 10 m/s
Total distance to be traveled, = L₁ + L₂
= 90 m + 0.06 m
= 90.06 m
Time of motion = Distance / speed
Time of motion = 90.06 / 10
Time of motion = 9.006 s ≅ 9.01 s
Therefore, the time taken for the train to cross the bridge is 9.01 s

Explanation:
When we sit on a chair and study for 2-3 hours, we are not doing work from a physicists point of view. Why?
In the context of physics, work is defined to be the movement of an object when you apply a (pushing or pulling) force.
If you lifted a box to move it upward, then you are doing work. If you slide that box along the floor, then you are also doing work. However, if you try to lift something very heavy, but cannot move it at all, then 0 work is being applied. This is because the object hasn't moved. You need displacement to have work happen.
So that's why a physicist would not consider studying doing "work" (in the context of physics), though I'm sure they would be able to agree that studying does exercise the mind.
A vehicle is travelling with uniform velocity along a straight, level stretch of highway. The combined force due to the rolling friction and air resistance is - 5000 N. What is the applied force on the vehicle as it moves?
Answer:
The applied force on the vehicle is 5,000 N
Explanation:
From the question, we have the following parameters of the motion of the vehicle;
The form of the velocity with which the vehicle is travelling = Uniform velocity
The direction of motion of the vehicle = Along a straight and level stretch of the highway
The combined force which acts as resistance to the vehicle's motion = 5,000 N from rolling friction and resistance of the air opposite to the direction of motion
A vehicle travelling with uniform velocity has zero acceleration, therefore;
The acceleration of the vehicle, a = 0 m/s²
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, we have;
Force, F = Mass, m × Acceleration, a
∴ The net force of acting on the vehicle, F = m × a
Where;
m = The mass of the vehicle
a = The acceleration of the vehicle = 0 m/s²
∴ F = m × 0 = 0
The net force on the vehicle = 0, therefore;
The applied force + The force of rolling friction and air resistance = 0
We therefore have;
The applied force + 5,000 N = 0
∴ The applied force = 0 - 5,000 N = -5,000 N
The applied force, F = 5,000 N in the direction of motion.

Why does it take more force to move a heavy box up a ramp than to move the same box down the ramp?
A.There is more friction on the bottom of the box when going up a ramp.
B.Gravity is pushing the box up the ramp at the same time you are pushing the box up the ramp.
C.When you push an object up a ramp, you are working against atmospheric pressure, which is pushing down.
D.When you push an object up a ramp, you are working against gravity, which pulls the box downward.
Iqbal has push a lighter box and seema has to push a similar heavier box on the same floor . Who will have to apply a larger force and why ?
Answer: Seema
Explanation:
When an object is on the floor, there is a force of friction acting on it. This force is higher if the object is heavier because the object would be pushing against the floor with more force.
To push such an object, one would have to apply enough force to break the friction holding the object to the floor and so with heavier objects, more force is needed to push the object because there is more friction acting on it.

An object is dropped without initial speed
from a height of 20 m above ground and falls
with a constant acceleration of 10 m.s-2.
a. How long does it take the object to
reach the ground?
b. What is its speed upon reaching
ground?
Answer:
a. t = 2 s
b. vf = 20 m/s
Explanation:
a.
We can the second equation of motion to find out the time to reach the ground:
[tex]h = v_it + \frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
where,
h = height = 20 m
vi = initial velocity = 0 m/s
t = time taken to reach the ground = ?
a = acceleration = 10 m/s²
Therefore,
[tex]20\ m = (0\ m/s)t+\frac{1}{2} (10\ m/s^2)t^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{20\ m}{5\ m/s^2}\\\\t = \sqrt{4\ s^2}[/tex]
t = 2 s
b.
Here, we will use the first equation of motion to find the final speed:
[tex]v_f = v_i + at\\v_f = 0\ m/s + (10\ m/s^2)(2\ s)[/tex]
vf = 20 m/s
Two point charges of +20.0 μC and -8.00 μC are separated by a distance of 20.0 cm. What is the intensity of electric field E midway between these two charges?
Answer:
The intensity of the net electric field will:
[tex]E_{net}=E_{1}+E_{2}=2.52*10^{7}\: N/C[/tex]
Explanation:
Here we need first find the electric field due to the first charge at the midway point.
The electric field equation is given by:
[tex]|E_{1}|=k\frac{q_{1}}{d^{2}}[/tex]
Where:
k is Coulomb's constantq(1) is 20.00 μC or 20*10⁻⁶ Cd is the distance from q1 to the midpoint (d=10.0 cm)So, we will have:
[tex]|E_{1}|=(9*10^{9})\frac{20*10^{-6}}{0.1^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]|E_{1}|=1.8*10^{7}\: N/C[/tex]
The direction of E1 is to the right of the midpoint.
Now, the second electric field is:
[tex]|E_{2}|=k\frac{q_{2}}{d^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]|E_{2}|=(9*10^{9})\frac{8*10^{-6}}{0.1^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]|E_{2}|=7.2*10^{6}\: N/C[/tex]
The direction of E2 is to the right of the midpoint because the second charge is negative.
Finally, the intensity of the net electric field will:
[tex]E_{net}=E_{1}+E_{2}=2.52*10^{7}\: N/C[/tex]
I hope it helps you!
The net electric field midway between these two charges is 2.52 x 10⁷ N/C.
Electric field strengthThe electric field strength between two point charges is the force per unit charge.
Electric field strength due to +20.0 μC charge
[tex]E _1 = \frac{kq_1}{r^2} \\\\E_ 1 = \frac{9 \times 10^9 \times 20 \times 10^{-6}}{(0.1)^2} \\\\E _1 = 18 \times 10^6 \ N/C[/tex]
Electric field strength due to -8μC charge
[tex]E _2 = \frac{kq_2}{r^2} \\\\E_ 2 = \frac{9 \times 10^9 \times 8 \times 10^{-6}}{(0.1)^2} \\\\E _2 = 7.2 \times 10^6 \ N/C[/tex]
The net electric field midway between these two charges is calculated as follows;
[tex]E_{net} = 18 \times 10^6 \ + \ 7.2 \times 10^6\\\\E_{net} = 25.2 \times 10^6 \ N/C\\\\E_{net} = 2.52 \times 10^7 \ N/C[/tex]

Provides an estimate of how many planets there are in our galaxy that may harbor technically communicative life-forms. Provides an estimate of how many planets there are in our galaxy that may harbor life-forms of any kind, no matter how primitive they may be. Provides an estimate of how many planets there are in the Universe that may harbor technically communicative life-forms.
Answer:
Provides an estimate of how many planets there are in our galaxy that may harbor technically communicative life-forms.
Explanation:
A planet can be defined as a large celestial body having sufficient mass to allow for self-gravity and make it assume a nearly circular shape (hydrostatic equilibrium), revolves in an orbit around the Sun in the solar system and has a cleared neighborhood.
Basically, the planets are divided into two (2) main categories and these includes;
I. Outer planets: these planets are beyond the asteroid belt and comprises of jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune, from left to right of the solar system.
II. Inner planets: these planets are the closest to the sun and comprises of mercury, venus, earth and mars.
These outer planets are made mostly of gases (hydrogen and helium) causing them to be less dense than the solid inner planets. These gases are generally known to be less dense in terms of physical properties.
Some examples of the planet are Mars, Venus, Earth, Mercury, Neptune, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, etc.
The Drake equation provides an estimate of how many planets there are in our galaxy that may harbor technically communicative life-forms. It is a probabilistic mathematical expression.

An 16 m tall vase is located 50 m in front of a lens. An image is produced
20 m away from the lens. What is the focal length?
Answer:
f = 14.28 m
Explanation:
Given that,
Object distance, u = -50 m
The image distance from the lens, v = +20 m
We need to find the focal length of the lens. Let the focal length is f. Using the lens formula,
[tex]\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}[/tex]
Put all the values,
[tex]\dfrac{1}{20}-\dfrac{1}{(-50)}=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\f=14.28\ m[/tex]
So, the focal length of the lens is equal to 14.28 m.
