Answer: Energy consumption and sustainability is important so that it remain available for future generation.
Explanation:
1. The home furnaces are likely to require fuel like coal, which will directly emit carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gases. These should be replaced with the electrical furnaces. The old or more power consuming air conditioners should be replaced with new ones.
2. The water heaters should be tankless so their capacity to heat more water could be possible. The water heaters should be electricity saving.
3. Washer and dryers should be water savy and electricity savy. A front-loading washing machine is useful energy saver.
4. The LED lights are more electricity saving than conventional bulbs. Halogen lights are also electricity saving.
Answer:
Train accaleration = 0.70 m/s^2
Explanation:
We have a pendulum (presumably simple in nature) in an accelerating train. As the train accelerates, the pendulum is going move in the opposite direction due to inertia. The force which causes this movement has the same accaleration as that of the train. This is the basis for the problem.
Start by setting up a free body diagram of all the forces in play: The gravitational force on the pendulum (mg), the force caused by the pendulum's inertial resistance to the train(F_i), and the resulting force of tension caused by the other two forces (F_r).
Next, set up your sum of forces equations/relationships. Note that the sum of vertical forces (y-direction) balance out and equal 0. While the horizontal forces add up to the total mass of the pendulum times it's accaleration; which, again, equals the train's accaleration.
After doing this, I would isolate the resulting force in the sum of vertical forces, substitute it into the horizontal force equation, and solve for the acceleration. The problem should reduce to show that the acceleration is proportional to the gravity times the tangent of the angle it makes.
I've attached my work, comment with any questions.
Side note: If you take this end result and solve for the angle, you'll see that no matter how fast the train accelerates, the pendulum will never reach a full 90°!
Answer:
The impression of the image on the retina lasts for about 1/16th of a second after the removal of the object. If a burning stick of incense is revolved at a rate of more than sixteen revolutions per second, we see a circle of red light due to persistence of vision.
Explanation:
I'll be happy to solve the problem using the information that
you gave in the question, but I have to tell you that this wave
is not infrared light.
If it was a wave of infrared, then its speed would be close
to 300,000,000 m/s, not 6 m/s, and its wavelength would be
less than 0.001 meter, not 12 meters.
For the wave you described . . .
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)
= (6 m/s) / (12 m)
= 0.5 / sec
= 0.5 Hz .
(If it were an infrared wave, then its frequency would be
greater than 300,000,000,000 Hz.)
