D.
Solar energy is converted to wind energy which then drive surface currents.
Answer:
84.4 %
Explanation:
Mechanical efficiency = output work/input work × 100 %
output work = 432 J of work for the bike to turn the gears
input work = 512 J of work to ride.
Mechanical efficiency = 432 J/512 J × 100 %
= 0.844 × 100%
= 84.4 %
Q: The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3.00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm2. What downward force of magnitude must be applied to the small piston for the lift to raise a load whose weight is Fg = 15.0 kN?
Answer:
225 N
Explanation:
From Pascal's principle,
F/A = f/a ...................... Equation 1
Where F = Force exerted on the larger piston, f = force applied to the smaller piston, A = cross sectional area of the larger piston, a = cross sectional area of the smaller piston.
Making f the subject of the equation,
f = F(a)/A ..................... Equation 2
Given: F = 15.0 kN = 15000 N, A = 200 cm², a = 3.00 cm².
Substituting into equation 2
f = 15000(3/200)
f = 225 N.
Hence the downward force that must be applied to small piston = 225 N
Answer:
Minimum thickness will be 100 nm
Explanation:
We have given refractive index is n = 1.5
Wavelength of the light incidence
= 600 nm
We have to find the smallest thickness of the film so that there will be minimum light reflect
For minimum thickness of non reflecting film
, here t is thickness,
is wavelength and n is refractive index
Putting all values 
So minimum thickness will be 100 nm
If the earth's mass were half its actual value but its radius stayed the same, the escape velocity of the earth would be
.
<h3>What is an escape velocity?</h3>
The ratio of the object's travel distance over a specific period of time is known as its velocity. As a vector quantity, the velocity requires both the magnitude and the direction. the slowest possible speed at which a body can break out of the gravitational pull of a certain planet or another object.
The formula to calculate the escape velocity of earth is given below:-

Given that earth's mass was half its actual value but its radius stayed the same. The escape velocity will be calculated as below:-

.
Therefore, If the earth's mass were half its actual value but its radius stayed the same, the escape velocity of the earth would be
.
