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

Haley is trying to pull an object upward. The below forces are acting on the object.
ra1l [238]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a reference system.

Suppose that the positive direction of the reference system is upward.

We have that the sum of forces in the vertical axis is given by:

Fy = Fp - Fg

Substituting values:

Fy = 5500 - 6000

Fy = - 500

The negative sign means that the direction of the force with respect to the defined coordinate system is downward.

Answer:

The net force is:

↓ 500N

A stone is thrown vertically upwards with a speed of 30.0 m/s.
matrenka [14]

a)

Y₀ = initial position of the stone at the time of launch = 0 m

Y = final position of stone = 20.0 meters

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

v₀ = initial speed of stone at the time of launch = 30.0 m/s

v = final speed = ?

Using the equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a (Y - Y₀)

inserting the values

v² = 30² + 2 (- 9.8) (20 - 0)

v = 22.5 m/s


b)

Y₀ = initial position of the stone at the time of launch = 0 m

Y = maximum height gained

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

v₀ = initial speed of stone at the time of launch = 30.0 m/s

v = final speed = 0 m/s

Using the equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a (Y - Y₀)

inserting the values

0² = 30² + 2 (- 9.8) (Y - 0)

Y = 46 m

The graph below is called a heating curve. It shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature a
Neporo4naja [7]

Explanation :

The heating curve shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature and the addition or removal of heat over time.

Initially, ice is heated until its temperature reaches 0^0\ C and changes to liquid state.

From the attached graph it is clear that until 100^0\ C the temperature will rise steadily. Here, the liquid begins to vaporize. Vaporization is the state of matter at which liquid state changes to the gaseous state.

So, E is the point which shows the gaseous state.
