One gallon of gasoline in an automobiles engine produces on average 9.50 kg of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas; that i

s, it promotes the warming of earth's atmosphere. calculate the annual production of carbon dioxide in kilograms if there are exactly 40.0 million cars in the united states and each car covers a distance of 6990 mi at a consumption rate of 21.4 miles per gallon. enter your answer in scientific notation.

The annual production of carbon dioxide is 124121.49×10^{6}[/tex] kg.

First we calculate the fuel consumed by each car in a year

Fuel consumed=6990/21.4=326.63 gallon

Now we calculate the amount of fuel consumed by 40 million cars in a year

Fuel consumed=326.63*40*10^6=13065.42 million gallon,

Now we can calculate the annual production of carbon dioxide in the USA

CO2 production rate=9.50*13065.42=124121.49*10^6 kg

Therefore the annual production of carbon dioxide in USA is 124121.49×10^{6}[/tex] kg

A capacitor is to be constructed to have a capacitance of 100uF.The area of the plates is 6.om by 0.030m and the relative permit
lara [203]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

The area of the plates is 6 m by 0.030 m, Therefore the area = 6 m × 0.03 m =  0.18 m²

the relative permittivity of dielectric (εr) is 7.0

Permittivity of free space (εo) = 8.854 × 10^(-12)

capacitance of 100uF

potential difference (V) of 12V

d = separation between plate

The capacitance (C) of a capacitor is given by:

C=\frac{\epsilon_o \epsilon_r A }{d}\\ 100*10^{-6}=\frac{8.854*10^{-12}*7*0.18}{d}\\ d=\frac{8.854*10^{-12}*7*0.18}{100*10^{-6}}=1.11*10^{-7}\ m

The electric field between plates is given as:

E = V /d

E = 12 / 1.11*10^{-7}=10.75*10^7\ V/m

Why is the motion of an athlete moving along the circular path with Constant speed considered to be an accelerated motion?
Strike441 [17]

The speed is changing its direction all the time. There is an acceleration which changes the direction of the speed – that is called centripetal acceleration. Only uniform linear motions are considered to have no acceleration.

This is the general formula for acceleration

a = dv/dt

When calculating dv, you should keep in mind the change in the velocity vector’s direction. You can easily see in a graph that with dt tending to 0 (so the length of the arc covered is also tending to 0), the difference between vectors Vf and V0 has a direction which is perpendicular to velocity (the shorter the arc, the closest the angle is to 90 degrees).

There is a formula (which can be deducted from the previous formula) which allows you to calculate the acceleration:

a = v^2/r

Let’s talk about the units:

v is in m/s

r is in m

so v^2/r

is in (m/s)^2/m = (m^2/s^2)/m = m/s^2

which is the same unit as dv/dt:

dv/dt = (m/s)/s= m/s^2

Two planets have masses 2 x 10^23 kg and 5 x 10^22 kg, and the distance between them is 3 x 10^16 m. Calculate the gravitational
xxTIMURxx [149]

Explanation:

given,

mass of one planet (m1)=2*10^23 kg

mass of another planet (m2)=5*10^22kg

distance between them(d)=3*10^16m

gravitational constant(G)=6.67*10^-11Nm^2kg^-2

gravitational force between them(F)=?

we know,

F=Gm1m2/d^2

or, F=6.67*10^-11*2*10^23*5*10^22/(3*10^16)^2

or, F=6.67*2*5*10^-11+23+22/3*3*10^32

or, F=66.7*10^34/9*10^32

or, F=7.41*10^34-32

•°• F=7.41*10^2

thus, the gravitational force between them is 7.14*10^2
