If we are depending on nonrenewable resources only then we will run out first at that resource which we are using at large level

that resource which is used at all levels at very fast level but we can't get it at that rate from natural sources

So out of all given choices we know that at most fastest rate we are using the OIL which we extract from the earth crust.

The rate with which we are extracting oil is very fast and if we use it at same rate then we will definitely run out of it

so correct answer would be

B. oil

Answer:

B: Oil

Explanation:

If consumption of natural resources continues at the 1994 rate, then without importing resources from other countries, the U.S. has approximately enough oil to last for 23 years, enough natural gas to last for 68 years, enough uranium to last for 364 years, and enough coal to last for 7,007 years.

Calculate the period (T) of uniform circular motion if the velocity is 40.0 m/s and centripetal acceleration is 20.0 m/s2.
kirill [66]
T is the time for a whole round.

centripetal acceleration = V^2/R,

20 = 40^2 / R, find R = 40^2/20 = 40*40/20 = 80 m, right?

Now, one round is L = 2*pi*R = 2*pi*80 = 160*pi

And T = L/v (distance/speed) = 160*pi/40 = 4*pi seconds, or ~ 12.57 s

There is a limit to how long your neck can be. If your neck were too long, no blood would reach your brain! What is the maximum
spayn [35]

Answer:

The maximum height a person's brain could be above his heart is: 1.28 meter.

Explanation:

We need to know what is the normal blood pressure ours hearts so there is a rate: 120/80 (mmHg) and the average will be: 100 (mmHg) and using the Pascal law that relate pressure, density, gravity and height like:P_{2} = pgh_{1} - pgh_{2} + P_{1}, where P is pressure, p is density, g is the gravity acceleration and h is the height. Now we can find the height and delta of pressure will be: P2-P1 = 100 (mmHg), knowing that 1(mmHg) is equal to 133 Pa, we can do the convertion to 13332.2 (Pa), now because the units of Pascal are Newton/(meter^2). Then we solve the formula to get the height: \frac{P2-P1}{pg} =h so we get:\frac{13332.2}{(1060*9,81)}=Height=1.28(meters).

The tangential acceleration of a cart moving at a constant speed in a horizontal circle is:
qaws [65]

Answer:

a=0                                  ∵ \alpha=0\ rad.s^{-1}

Explanation:

The tangential acceleration of a cart moving at a constant speed in a circle is:

The angular velocity is constant when the circular speed is constant.

We know that the (instantaneous) tangential velocity of such object is given by:

v=r.\omega

Now for angular acceleration we have a constant angular speed:

\alpha=0\ rad.s^{-1}

And angular acceleration is related to tangential acceleration as:

a=r.\alpha

\Rightarrow a=0
