Answer:

B. Solar energy

Explanation:

The water cycle is driven primarily by the energy from the sun. This solar energy drives the cycle by evaporating water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the soil. Other water moves from plants to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration.

The number of gallons of water in a storage tank at time t, in minutes, is modeled by w(t) = 25 − t2 for 0≤t≤5. At what rate, in

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Rate of change of water will be -6 gallon/minute

Explanation:

We have given water in the tank as the function of time as

$w(t)=25-t^2$

We have to find the rate of change of water in the tank at t = 3 minute

For rate of change we have to differentiate both side

So $\frac{dw}{dt}=0-2t$

At t = 3 minute

$\frac{dw}{dt}=0-2\times 3=-6gallon/minute$

An experiment is designed to test what color of light will activate a photoelectric cell the best. The photocell is set in a cir

Natalija [7]

A photoelectric cell is an electronic device which is used to convert light energy into electric energy.The operation of this device is based on photoelectric effect.

Light of suitable frequency i.e greater or equal to threshold frequency will fall on the cathode maintained at negative potential.The electron emission will take place and these electrons are drifted towards the anode which is at positive potential.

Here,only those radiations will be capable of emitting electrons irrespective of surface barrier of metals whose energy is greater than the work function.

We know that the radiation having long wavelength has least energy as energy and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.

$Mathematically\ energy\ E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

Here h is the Planck's constant,c is the velocity of light.

Here we have been given red light and blue light.

In the visible spectrum of radiation, the red light has longer wavelength than all other colors of light.Hence blue light has more energy as it's wavelength is less as compared to red light.

Hence, the blue light will activate the most and red the least.

A rocket moves upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of +29.4 for 3.98 s. it runs out of fuel at the end of the 3.98 s

topjm [15]

U = 0, initial upward speed
a = 29.4 m/s², acceleration up to 3.98 s
a = -9.8 m/s², acceleration after 3.98s

Let h₁ = the height at time t, for t ≤ 3.98 s
Let h₂ = the height at time t > 3.98 s

Motion for t ≤ 3.98 s:
h₁ = (1/2)*(29.4 m/s²)*(3.98 s)² = 232.854 m
Calculate the upward velocity at t = 3.98 s
v₁ = (29.4 m/s²)*(3.98 s) = 117.012 m/s

Motion for t > 3.98 s
At maximum height, the upward velocity is zero.
Calculate the extra distance traveled before the velocity is zero.
(117.012 m/s)² + 2*(-9.8 m/s²)*(h₂ m) = 0
h₂ = 698.562 m

The total height is
h₁ + h₂ = 232.854 + 698.562 = 931.416 m

Answer: 931.4 m (nearest tenth)

Variations in the resistivity of blood can give valuable clues about changes in various properties of the blood. Suppose a medic

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

1.1 x 10^9 ohm metre

Explanation:

diameter = 1.5 mm

length, l = 5 cm

Potential difference, V = 9 V

current, i = 230 micro Ampere = 230 x 10^-6 A

radius, r = diameter / 2 = 1.5 / 2 = 0.75 x 10^-3 m

Let the resistivity is ρ.

Area of crossection

A = πr² = 3.14 x 0.75 x 0.75 x 10^-6 = 1.766 x 10^-6 m^2

Use Ohm's law to find the value of resistance

V = i x R

9 = 230 x 10^-6 x R

R = 39130.4 ohm

Use the formula for the resistance

$R=\rho \frac{l}{A}$

$\rho =\frac{RA}{l}$

$\rho =\frac{39130.4\times 0.05}{1.766\times 10^{-6}}$

ρ = 1.1 x 10^9 ohm metre
