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

Physics

daser333 [38]3 years ago

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.

g When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel 3.2 10-15 m before
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Time, t=1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s

Explanation:

Given that,

When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel 3.2\times 10^{-15}\ m before interacting.

Let t is the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur. It will move with the speed of light. So,

t=\dfrac{d}{c}\\\\t=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-15}}{3\times 10^8}\\\\t=1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s

So, the time interval is 1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s

How does the law of conservation of energy apply to a light bulb? the electrical energy put into the light bulb equals the light
andrew-mc [135]
<span>The law of conservation of energy applies to a light bulb because the energy is being transformed into light and the light bulb is acting as a catalyst. The light bulb itself is not a form of energy, however when in combination with the electrical outlet to the bulb the electricity heats up the metal interior forming it into light. according to the law of conservation energy cannot be created or destroyed, but instead is formed into different kinds of energy. In relation to a light bulb electrical currents are forming heat energy by heating up the metal interior, then the bulb or glass around it allows to radiate light.</span>

Frank does 2400J of work in climbing a set of stairs. If he does the work in 6 seconds, what is his power output?
timurjin [86]
Power = Work Done / Time taken

         Where Work Done is Joules, and Time is in Seconds, Power is in Watts

            = 2400 J / 6 seconds

            = 400 Watts

The power output is 400 Watts.
