Why do natural polymers not pose as much of an issue in landfills as synthetic polymers?

Aball bearing at 220.0 °c is dropped into a cup containing 250.0 g of water at 20.0 °c. the water and ball bearing come to a temperature of 30.0 °c. what is the heat capacity of the ball bearing in j/°c? (hint: how are the algebraic signs of q related for the ball bearing and the water? )

An object is dropped from a tower, 400 ft above the ground. the object's height above ground t seconds after the fall is s(t)equals400 minus 16 t squared. determine the velocity and acceleration of the object the moment it reaches the ground. the velocity of the object the moment it reaches the ground is nothing ft/s.

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.
