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

What is the minimum number of vectors lying in the same plane required to givs zero resulant
alexgriva [62]
Well the trivial answer is zero, since there is indeed a "zero vector". Assuming you aren't allowed to use the zero vector you would need at least two. They would be antiparallel and of equal magnitude. (That is be pointing in opposite directions and have the same length)

If the atoms that share electrons have an unequal attraction for the electrons is called
Karolina [17]

If the atoms that share electrons have an unequal attraction for electrons, the bond is called a Polar covalent bond.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A covalent chemical bond is formed in case of two different non-metals when one or more electron pairs are shared between bonding atoms. A difference in electronegativity of subsequent atoms of a covalent bond leads to formation of a small net charge around nucleus of each atom, pulling the shared electrons to one side of the bond, to the nucleus which has higher electronegativity.

HCl is an example of polar covalent bond and the HCl bond has Chlorine more electronegative. The bonding electrons are more close to Cl than H and hence Cl is partially negatively charged than H which has partial positive charge (HCl bond : H^{+} - Cl^{-}). When electrons shared in a covalent bond have equal attraction, the bond is a Non-Polar covalent bond.

A 500 g model rocket is on a cart that is rolling to the right at a speed of 3.0 m/s . The rocket engine, when it is fired, exer
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The rocket has to be launched 8 m from the hoop

Explanation:

Let's analyze this problem, the rocket is on a car that moves horizontally, so the rocket also has the same speed as the car; The initial horizontal rocket speed is (v₀ₓ = 3.0 m/s).

On the other hand, when starting the engines we have a vertical force, which creates an acceleration in the vertical axis, let's use Newton's second law to find this vertical acceleration

    F -W = m a

    a = (F-mg) / m

    a = F/m  -g

    a = 7.0/0.500  - 9.8

    a = 4.2 m/s²

We see that we have a positive acceleration and that is what we are going to use in the parabolic motion equations

Let's look for the time it takes for the rocket to reach the height (y = 15m) of the hoop, when the rocket fires its initial vertical velocity is zero (I'm going = 0)

    y = v_{oy} t + ½ a t²

    y = 0 + ½ a t²

    t = √ 2y/a

    t = √( 2 15 / 4.2)

    t = 2.67 s

This time is also the one that takes in the horizontal movement, let's calculate how far it travels

    x = v₀ₓ t

    x = 3 2.67

    x = 8 m

The rocket has to be launched 8 m from the hoop
