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

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.

A blue line with 5 orange tick marks then one red tick mark then 4 orange tick marks. The number zero is above the red tick mark

Digiron [165]

Answer:

16 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The object begins from 0 and moves 3cm towards left side followed by 7 cm towards the right and then, 6 cm towards the left side.

Let the x-axis to be the +ve and on the right side and -ve on the left

Thus, displacement would be:

= 0 -3 + 7 -6

= -2 cm

This implies that the object displaces 2cm towards the left.

While the total distance covered by the object equal to,

= 0cm + 3cm + 7cm + 6cm

= 16 cm

Thus, <u>16 cm</u> is the total distance.

A spring whose spring constant is 260 lbf/in has an initial force of 100 lbf acting on it. Determine the work, in Btu, required

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

A spring whose spring constant is 200 lbf/in has an initial force of 100 lbf acting on it. Determine the work, in Btu, required to compress it another 1 inch.

Step 1 of 4

The force at any point during the deflection of the spring is given by,

where is the initial force

and x is the deflection as measured from the point where the initial force occurred.

The work required to compress the spring is

Therefore work required to compress the spring is

The work required to compress the spring in Btu is calculated by

Where 1Btu =778

The work required to compress the spring,

Suppose you have a 136-kg wooden crate resting on a wood floor. The coefficient of static friction is 0.4 and coefficient of kin

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The the maximum force acting on the crate is 533.12 newtons.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the wooden crate, m = 136 kg

The coefficient of static friction, $\mu_s=0.4$

The coefficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_k=0.2$

We need to find the maximum force exerted horizontally on the crate without moving it. As the crate is not moving than the coefficient of static friction will act and the force is given by :

$F=\mu_s mg$
