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

2 answers:

4 0

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.

The three branches of science earth and physicals

seropon [69]

<span>Science is always defined as the body of knowledge and linked to something related to the physical world, phenomena and lives of everything that exist on Earth. Science is categorized in various ways. Pure, practical or theoretical, is the largest distinction of science or whether science is applied. Generally, pure science is subdivided into Physical sciences, Earth sciences, and Life sciences. Physical sciences deal with energy and matter, Earth sciences explain Earth’s phenomena, to the solar system where it belongs and its atmosphere. And finally, life sciences describe internal processes of living organisms, its relationship to each other and to its environment.</span>

what are the three types of solenoids, which one is the most common, and which one is used in pinball machines?

amm1812

Answer:

The types of solenoids are: AC Laminated Solenoid , DC Solenoid , Linear Solenoid ,and Rotary Solenoid.

Explanation:

The main purpose of solenoid is to generate the controlled magnetic field that can be used in many forms.
The most common use of solenoid is done in the pinball game.
The Flipper solenoid that uses the two coil are used in the mechanism of pinball machines.
One coil of the solenoid is supplied with high electric current where as other one has the weak current flowing through it.

An irregular object of mass 3 kg rotates about an axis, about which it has a radius of gyration of 0.2 m, with an angular accele

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the applied torque is $6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m$

(e) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of object = 3 kg

Radius of gyration = 0.2 m

Angular acceleration = 0.5 rad/s²

We need to calculate the applied torque

Using formula of torque

$\tau=I\times\alpha$

Here, I = mk²

$\tau=mk^2\times\alpha$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau=3\times(0.2)^2\times0.5$

$\tau=0.06\ N-m$

$\tau=6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m$

Hence, The magnitude of the applied torque is $6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m$

Which is the result of mitosis and cytokinesis?

Leno4ka [110]

During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is divided in half, and the cell membrane grows to enclose each cell, forming two separate cells as a result. The end result of mitosis and cytokinesis is two genetically identical cells where only one cell existed before.
