Explain how fossil fuel use in the US makes us vulnerable to the demands of foreign countries.

Physics

Well the US doesn't naturally have a lot of fossil fuels so we rely on other countries who do have fossil fuels. So if we aren't that friendly with Saudia Arabia (they have a bunch of oil) then they can hike up the prices or cut us off from their oil supply completely which would cripple the US severly. So with that being said, we NEED other countries, and the big question is when will they not NEED us. At any point in which they feel that they don't need us they can just cut us off, which would be bad.

Hope that helps :)

Answer:

The United States imports much of its petroleum from foreign countries who can set the price. This leaves the United States vulnerable to price spikes and artificial shortages as happened during the 1970's oil crisis.

When she starts out, he is (40x2.5)= 100 miles ahead of her.

She gains (65-40)= 25 miles on him every hour.

It takes her (100/25)= 4 hours to catch up to him.

The wheel having a mass of 100 kg and a radius of gyration about the z axis of kz=300mm, rests on the smooth horizontal plane.a.
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

a) 20 rad/s

b) 6 m/s

Explanation:

b) Force acting on the wheel is 200 N

mass of the wheel is 100 kg

From Newton's second law of motion, F = m × a

Where F is the net force acting on the body

m is mass of the body

a is the acceleration of the body

By substituting the values we get, a = 2 m/s²

As acceleration is constant, we can use the below formula for calculating the final velocity of the object

v = u + a × t

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

u = 0 (∵ it starts from rest)

By substituting the values we get

v = 0 + 2 × 3 = 6 m/s

∴ Speed of center of mass after 3 seconds = 6 m/s

a) As the wheel rotates about z-axis, radius of gyration will be the radius of wheel

∴ Radius of the wheel = 300 mm

Torque acting on the wheel about axis of rotation = 300 mm × 200 N =

60 N·m

Torque = (Moment of inertia) × (angular acceleration)

Assuming that the mass of spokes of the wheel to be negligible,

Moment of inertia of the wheel about axis of rotation = 100 × 300² × 10^{-6} = 9 kg·m²

Then,

60 = 9 × (angular acceleration)

∴ angular acceleration ≈ 6·67 rad/s²

As angular acceleration of the wheel is constant, we can use the below formula for calculation of final angular speed

w_{f} = w_{i} + α × t

Where

w_{f} is the final angular velocity

w_{i} is the initial angular velocity

α is the angular acceleration

t is the time taken

w_{i} is 0 (∵ initially it starts from rest)

By substituting the values we get

w_{f} = 6·67 × 3 = 20 rad/s

∴ Angular velocity of the wheel after three seconds = 20 rad/s
