Answer: B. All use generators to produce electrical current.

Explanation:

The wind, water and ethanol all are the examples of renewable sources of energy. These can be used to generate electricity. The kinetic energy of the blowing wind, free flowing water and liquid like ethanol can be used to generate mechanical energy in the turbine which can help in generating the electricity in the generator.

If Pete ( mass=90.0kg) weights himself and finds that he weighs 30.0 pounds, how far away from the surface of the earth is he

shutvik [7]

Answer: 9938.8 km

Explanation:

1 pound-force = 4.48 N

30.0 pounds-force = 134.4 N

The force of gravitation between Earth and object on the surface of is given by:

$F = \frac{GMm}{R^2} = mg$

Where M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the object, R (6371 km) is the radius of the Earth.

At height, h above the surface of the Earth, the weight of the object:

$(mg)'= \frac{GMm}{(R+h)^2}$

we need to find "h"

taking the ratio of two:

$\frac{mg}{(mg)'}=\frac{(R+h)^2}{R^2}\\ \Rightarrow \frac{90kg \times 9.8 m/s^2}{134.4 N}=\frac{(R+h)^2}{R^2}\\ \Rightarrow 6.56 R^2= (R+h)^2 \Rightarrow h= (2.56-1)R\\ \Rightarrow h = 1.56 R = 1.56 \times 6371 km = 9938. 8 km$

Hence, Pete would weigh 30 pounds at 9938.8 km above the surface of the Earth.

Vlada [557]

1) 15 / 12 = 1.25 ratio
2) to increase acceleration 1.25 times (with same F, or same engine) you have to lower mass 1.25 times
3) 1515/1.25 = 1212 kg
