Answer:

"Energy deficiency, no coal-burning, no-cost mining pollution" is the correct answer.

Explanation:

“The greenest kilowatt-hour seems to be the one this really doesn't should use,” explained Joe Stepenovitch, co-owner as well as COO of something like the electricity IQ Group. Whether a kilowatt becomes generated is far less essential instead of not needing to do something with it.
It, therefore, reduces operational costs, appeals to progressives and green-conscious consumers, prepares the business for impending emissions reductions policy caps, as well as coincides with you including an imminent future focused on renewable energy sources.

A rock is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 19.6 m/s. What time interval elapses between the rock’s being thrown an

inna [77]

Answer:

It will take 4 sec rock to comes its original point

Explanation:

It is given that the rock comes to its original point

So displacement S = 0 m

Initial velocity u = 19.6 m/sec

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

According to second equation of motion $h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$0=19.6\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8t^2$

$19.6=4.9t$

t = 4 sec

For a given initial projectile speed Vo, calculate what launch angle A gives the longest range R. Show your work, don't just quo

pickupchik [31]

The optimal angle of 45° for maximum horizontal range is only valid when initial height is the same as final height.

In that particular situation, you can prove it like this: 

initial velocity is Vo 
launch angle is α 

initial vertical velocity is 
Vv = Vo×sin(α) 

horizontal velocity is 
Vh = Vo×cos(α) 

total time in the air is the the time it needs to fall back to a height of 0 m, so 
d = v×t + a×t²/2 
where 
d = distance = 0 m 
v = initial vertical velocity = Vv = Vo×sin(α) 
t = time = ? 
a = acceleration by gravity = g (= -9.8 m/s²) 
so 
0 = Vo×sin(α)×t + g×t²/2 
0 = (Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2)×t 
t = 0 (obviously, the projectile is at height 0 m at time = 0s) 
or 
Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2 = 0 
t = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g 

Now look at the horizontal range. 
r = v × t 
where 
r = horizontal range = ? 
v = horizontal velocity = Vh = Vo×cos(α) 
t = time = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g 
so 
r = (Vo×cos(α)) × (-2×Vo×sin(α)/g) 
r = -(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g 

To find the extreme values of r (minimum or maximum) with variable α, you must find the first derivative of r with respect to α, and set it equal to 0. 

dr/dα = d[-(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g] / dα 
dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × d[sin(2α)] / dα 
dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × cos(2α) × d(2α) / dα 
dr/dα = -2 × (Vo)² × cos(2α) / g 

Vo and g are constants ≠ 0, so the only way for dr/dα to become 0 is when 
cos(2α) = 0 
2α = 90° 
α = 45°

A 0.300kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air track with a speed of 0.800m/s when it makes a head-o

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The final velocity of the first glider is 0.27 m/s in the same direction as the first glider

The final velocity of the second glider is 1.07 m/s in the same direction as the first glider.

0.010935 J

0.0858675 J

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of first glider = 0.3 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of second glider = 0.15 kg

$u_1$ = Initial Velocity of first glider = 0.8 m/s

$u_2$ = Initial Velocity of second glider = 0 m/s

$v_1$ = Final Velocity of first glider

$v_2$ = Final Velocity of second glider

As momentum and Energy is conserved

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

${\tfrac {1}{2}}m_{1}u_{1}^{2}+{\tfrac {1}{2}}m_{2}u_{2}^{2}={\tfrac {1}{2}}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+{\tfrac {1}{2}}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}$

From the two equations we get

$v_{1}=\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_{1}+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{0.3-0.15}{0.3+0.15}\times 0.8+\frac{2\times 0.15}{0.3+0.15}\times 0\\\Rightarrow v_1=0.27\ m/s$

The final velocity of the first glider is 0.27 m/s in the same direction as the first glider

$v_{2}=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_{1}+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{2\times 0.3}{0.3+0.15}\times 0.8+\frac{0.3-0.15}{0.3+0.15}\times 0\\\Rightarrow v_2=1.067\ m/s$

The final velocity of the second glider is 1.07 m/s in the same direction as the first glider.

Kinetic energy is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}0.3\times 0.27^2\\\Rightarrow K=0.010935\ J$

Final kinetic energy of first glider is 0.010935 J

$K=\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}0.15\times 1.07^2\\\Rightarrow K=0.0858675\ J$

Final kinetic energy of second glider is 0.0858675 J

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

$a = \frac{2}{3}g$

$T = \frac{mg}{3}$

Explanation:

As the disc is unrolling from the thread then at any moment of the time

We have force equation as

$mg - T = ma$

also by torque equation we can say

$TR = I\alpha$

$TR = \frac{1}{2}mR^2(\frac{a}{R})$

$T = \frac{1}{2}ma$

Now we have

$mg - \frac{1}{2}ma = ma$

$mg = \frac{3}{2}ma$

$a = \frac{2}{3}g$

Also from above equation the tension force in the string is

$T = \frac{1}{2}ma$

$T = \frac{mg}{3}$

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

C. the blue colour of the Earth's sky

Explanation:

The Pleiades is a cluster of sister stars that are among the closest star cluster to earth.

The reflection nebula of the Pleiades is due to the scattering of the blue light from the hot blue luminous stars that dominate the star cluster. Th blue light is scattered from dust molecules, thought to be predominantly carbon compound like diamond dusts, and other compounds like iron.

The blue colour of the Earth's sky is the closest terrestrial phenomenon to the reflection nebula. On a clear cloudless day, molecules in the air scatter the blue component of light more than the other component colours of white light, giving the sky its characteristic blue coluor.

The common characteristics of the luminous nebula and the Earth's blue sky is that they both have their light scattered by the presence of small particles.
