Coal and other fossil fuels are considered to be "nonrenewable" sources of energy. How does the use of nonrenewable fuels affect

the total energy of the universe?
A. Nonrenewable energy sources reduce the total energy by using up thermal or kinetic energy.
B. Nonrenewable sources of energy add to the total energy of the universe as they are used.
C. The burning of fossil fuels permanently reduces the total energy of the universe by using up chemical energy.
D. Although the total energy remains constant, nonrenewable fuels convert chemical energy into forms that are difficult or impossible to use again.

Answer: D Although the total energy remains constant, nonrenewable fuels convert chemical energy into forms that are difficult or impossible to use again.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.

A farmer lifts his hay bales into the top loft of his barn by walking his horse forward with a constant velocity of 1 ft/s. Dete
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The velocity of the hay bale is - 0.5 ft/s and the acceleration is 6.25\times 10^{- 3} ft/s^{2}

Solution:

As per the question:

Constant velocity of the horse in the horizontal, v_{x} = 1 ft/s

Distance of the horse on the horizontal axis, x = 10 ft

Vertical distance, y = 20 ft

Now,

Apply Pythagoras theorem to find the length:

20^{2} + 10^{2} = l^{2}

l^{2}= 500

Now,

x^{2} + y^{2} = 500                            (1)

Differentiating equation (1) w.r.t 't':

2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = 0

x\frac{dx}{dt} = - y\frac{dy}{dt}

where

\frac{dx}{dt} = Rate of change of displacement along the horizontal

\frac{dy}{dt} = Rate of change of displacement along the vertical

v_{x} = velocity along the x-axis.

v_{y} = velocity along the y-axis

xv_{x} = -yv_{y}

v_{y} = - 10\times \frac{1}{20} = - 0.5 ft/s

|v_{y}| = 0.5\ ft/s

Acceleration of the hay bale is given by the kinematic equation:

v_{y}^{2} = u_{y} + 2ay

(-0.5)^{2} =0 + 2ay

0.25 = 2ay

\frac{0.25}{2y} = a

a = \frac{0.25}{2\times 20} = 6.25\times 10^{- 3} ft/s^{2}

PilotLPTM [1.2K]
The answer is : B. The compass will spin exactly 360 Degrees

Compass will point out to the earth's magnetic field. If we change the direction of the current , we created an effect which make the compass detect the magnetic field in the exact opposite direction, that is why it will flip exactly 180 degrees

If the trend changed toward traditional (pre-World War II) families, how would that affect women’s rights?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

If the trend changed toward traditional (pre-World War II) families, the women’s rights are employment in manufacturing sector.

<h3>What is World war?</h3>

The war between two countries to take over each other's kingdom using weapons to kill each other.

Before the world war, the army needs armor, weapons, guns and tanks. Their manufacturing is only possible with many workers to work for long hours. If the men are not enough, then women are given opportunities to work with them.

Thus, the women’s rights are employment in manufacturing sector when trend changed traditional families.

Ashkon throws a basketball across the court to his teammate. The ball has 57 J of potential energy and 61 J of kinetic energy. W
Gwar [14]
The total mechanical energy of the ball is the sum of its potential energy U and its kinetic energy K, therefore:
E=U+K=57 J+61 J=118 J
so, the total mechanical energy of the basketball is 118 J.
