railroad handcar is moving along straight, frictionless tracks with negligible air resistance. In the following cases, the car initially has a total mass (car and contents) of 160 kg and is traveling east with a velocity of magnitude 5.50 m/s . Find the final velocity of the car in each case, assuming that the handcar does not leave the tracks.

Researchers determine that the biodiversity in a woodland region is declining. they identify two major threats to the region's biodiversity, a method to address each threat, and the expected outcome of each method. this information is shown in the table. a) reforestation would not benefit many species because most forest species live on the ground. b) reforestation would take the longest time to be effective because trees take several years to grow. c) biological augmentation would benefit only a few species because is is typically not very effective. d) biological augmentation would take less time to ve effective because it targets the majority of prey species.

The average atmospheric pressure on earth is approximated as a function of altitude by the relation patm = 101.325 (1 − 0.02256z)5.256, where patm is the atmospheric pressure in kpa, and z is the altitude in km with z = 0 at sea level. determine the approximate atmospheric pressures at atlanta (z = 306 m), denver (z = 1610 m), mexico city (z = 2309 m), and the top of mount everest (z = 8848 m).
