The US government wants to allocate billions of dollars in the next 10 years to help assure our future energy security. The fund

s will be spread among a variety of possible energy resources. Where do you think the government should put the greatest support: solar energy, wind energy, clean coal, oil exploration, gas exploration, or a combination of sources? Are there other efforts that should be explored? Support your position with cited information for both questions.

This question is a very good one indeed! I am very happy you asked it. I would first like to say that, although energy is important, our planet is more so. That is why I feel like we should always try to explore ideas that are both useful to the human race but also useful in protecting our environment because what is the use in having energy if we will not be able to use it. That is why I feel that we should try at types of energy like solar and wind. The problem is finding ways that are less expensive and more efficient. For example, creating a wind energy system that creates a sizeable about of energy and also is not too expensive and hard to make like the wind turbines of nowadays. Also what comes into question is the effect of these ideas and I feel that although some of these may have harmful effects, they must be used. One thing though is that I do not agree in expanding on our oil and gas exploration because it has so many bad effects to our environment that it is hardly worth it. If we can find alternatives in these other sources, like many states in the USA are trying to do, then we will be able to move much faster in technology and also help protect our lovely planet.

The highest freefall jump on record is from a height of almost 38,000 m. At this height, the acceleration of gravity is slightly
lina2011 [118]

Increasing his acceleration will impact his velocity and rate of displacement covered in that as the speed increases due to the increased rate of acceleration, the rate of air resistance also increases.  

<h3>What is air resistance?</h3>

Air resistance is a force created by air. When an item moves through the air, the force operates in the opposite direction.

When a diver descends, the force of air resistance acts to counteract the force of gravity. As the skydiver falls faster and faster, the quantity of air resistance grows until it equals the magnitude of gravity's force.

A balance of forces is achieved when the force of gravity equals the force of air resistance, and the skydiver no longer accelerates. The skydiver reaches what is known as terminal velocity.

The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/ml. A piece of aluminum foil has a mass of 44 g. What is the volume of this piece of aluminum
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

C) 16.3 ml

Explanation:

Density is equal to the ratio between the mass of an object and its volume:

d=\frac{m}{V}

where

m is the mass

V is the volume

In our problem, we know:

- density of aluminium: d=2.70 g/mL

- mass of the aluminium foil: m=44 g

So we can re-arrange the equation above and use these data to find the volume of the piece of aluminium foil:

V=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{44 g}{2.70 g/mL}=16.3 mL

If a car has a velocity of 85 km/hr, how long will it take to accelerate to 45 km/hr if the acceleration is -3 km/hr/sec?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Time, t = 13.34 seconds.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, u = 85km/hr to meters per seconds = 85*1000/3600 = 23.61 m/s

Final velocity, v = 45km/hr to meters per seconds = 45*1000/3600 = 12.5 m/s

Acceleration, a = -3 km/hr/sec to meters per seconds square = -3*1000/3600 = -0.833m/s²

To find the time;

Acceleration = (v - u)/t

-0.833 = (12.5 - 23.61)/t

-0.833t = -11.11

t = 11.11/0.833

Time, t = 13.34 seconds.

Help me please :(((((((
Dimas [21]

Answer: A.

Explanation: Roughly 180 - 200 million years ago, just before the first dinosaurs evolved. Mammals themselves evolved from a group or reptiles which exhibited mammal-like traits. One of them was specialized teeth. Reptiles tend to have teeth all the same shape. The mammal-like reptiles evolved tiny teeth in front of the jaw and two pairs of over sized fangs along the the sides. Like modern mammals, the head was large in proportion to the rest of the body. The jaws were also evolving another mammal trait, the ability to move sideways. Despite the lack of specialized teeth, acute hearing and the ability to chew, the dinosaurs evolved an adaptation which made them far more successful than mammals--modified leg bones. These limbs could be articulated directly under their bodies. This enabled the legs to support more weight, since the limbs were now under the body instead of at the sides. Then dinosaurs did something which secured their dominance for the next 120 million years - they began to stand on two legs. Although the back was still parallel to the ground, running on two legs greatly increased the dinosaur's speed. Mammals could simply not compete with swift, giant predators and were forced to remain small, and most became nocturnal to evade dinosaurs which were probably active during the day. Despite that they managed to survive which allowed the further evolution of mammals into us, humans.
