Answer:

As most economies witness rapid expansion, demand for power is projected to increase significantly. Though most economies have invested in fossil fuels, renewable and sustainable sources present great possibilities for cheap and reliable electricity. One energy resource that ranks among the top renewable and sustainable sources is tidal energy.

Tidal energy or tidal power is a form of renewable energy obtained due to alternating sea levels. The kinetic energy from the natural rise and fall of tides is harnessed and converted into electricity. Tides are caused by the combined gravitational forces of the moon, sun, and earth. However, tides are influenced most by the moon. The moon’s gravitational force is so strong that it tugs the ocean into a bulge. The high and low tides create tidal currents, which are essential in the generation of this kind of energy, mostly prevalent in coastal areas.

The length of the track itself is 500m. The vehicles (each of mass 15kg) are dragged

gogolik [260]

Answer:

W = 100000 J = 100 KJ

Explanation:

Here we will use the most basic and general formula of work, which is as follows:

$W = Fd$

where,

W = Work Done = ?

F = Force Required = 200 N

d = Length of Track = 500 m

Therefore,

$W = (200\ N)(500\ m)\\$

W = 100000 J = 100 KJ

Greyhound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare, but

maw [93]

${\large{\bold{\rm{\underline{Given \; that}}}}}$

★ A grey hound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare, but 3 leaps of the hound are equal to 5 leaps of the hare.

${\large{\bold{\rm{\underline{To\; find}}}}}$

★ The speed of the hound and the hare

${\large{\bold{\rm{\underline{Solution}}}}}$

★ The speed of the hound and the hare = 25:18

${\large{\bold{\rm{\underline{Full \; Solution}}}}}$

$\dashrightarrow$ As it's given that a grey hound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare, but 3 leaps of the hound are equal to 5 leaps of the hare.

So firstly let us assume a metres as the distance covered by the hare in one leap.

Ok now let's talk about 5 leaps,.! As it's cleared that the hare cover the distance of 5a metres.

But 3 leaps of the hound are equal to 5 leaps of the hare.

Henceforth, (5/3)a meters is the distance that is covered by the hound.

Now according to the question,

Hound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare..! (Same interval)

Now the distance travelled by the hound in it's 5 leaps..!

(5/3)a × 5

25/3a metres

Now the distance travelled by the hare in it's 6 leaps..!

6a metres

Now let us compare the speed of the hound and the hare. Let us calculate them in the form of ratio..!

25/3a = 6a

25/3 = 6

25:18

A man pushes a 10kg box with a constant acceleration of 5m/s2. What force is applied to the box?

drek231 [11]

FORMULA

$\boxed {F = m \times a}$

F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration

Using the formula

$F = 10 \times 5$

Multiply

$\boxed {\textsf {F = 10 N}}$

At room temperature, sound travels at a speed of about 344 m/s in air. You see a distant flash of lightning and hear the thunder

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The lighten travels 0.853 miles.

Explanation:

Sound: Sound is a form of wave which is conveyed through an elastic medium from a vibrating body to a listener.

v = 2x/t .......................................... Equation 1

making x the subject of the equation

x = vt/2........................................ Equation 2

Where v = velocity of sound in air, x = distance traveled by the sound, t = time

Given: v = 344 m/s t = 8 s

Substituting into equation 2

x = 344(8)/2

x = 1376 m.

x = 1376×0.00062 miles = 0.853 miles

Thus the lighten travels 0.853 miles.

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. A. Ella said "a lot of energy in the hot water has disappeared." Explain why her stateme

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of energy states that; energy can neither be created nor destroyed but is converted from one form to another.

In view of this principle, Ella can not be correct when she says that a lot of energy has disappeared. The use of the term "disappeared" connotes the idea that the energy no longer exists which does not happen.

Hence, energy can not "disappear" from hot water rather the energy in the water may be transferred to the surroundings.
