Electricity.
Solar Energy
Wind Energy
In a home, the best option as a source of energy is electricity. Though some choose to use solar energy to power their devices, electricity is more cost effective.
Answer:
less
Explanation:
Sliding friction is always less than static friction. This is because in sliding friction, the bodies slide with each other and thus the effect of friction is not more. However, it does not happen in the case of static friction.
Answer:
500 N
Explanation:
Since the work done on the spring W = Fx where F = force applied and x = compression length = 0.170 m (since the spring will be compressed its full length when the force is applied)
Since W = 85.0 J and we need to find F,
F = W/x
= 85.0 J/0.170 m
= 500 N
So, the magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform stationary at the final distance given above is 500 N.
Electricity is always going to take the path of least resistance to ground. The rubber in your shoes is not a conductor of electricity, therefore you are not completing the circuit and you don't get shocked. Your bare feet, on the other hand ARE conductors of electricity, so when you hold the wire, you complete the circuit and become the path of least resistance to ground... ZAP!
Answer:
1. 3 m
2. 27 s
Explanation:
1. "A car traveling at +33 m/s sees a red light and has to stop. If the driver can accelerate at -5.5 m/s², how far does it travel?"
Given:
v₀ = 33 m/s
v = 0 m/s
a = -5.5 m/s²
Unknown: Δx
To determine the equation you need, look for which variable you don't have and aren't solving for. In this case, we aren't given time and aren't solving for time. So look for an equation that doesn't have t in it.
Equation: v² = v₀² + 2aΔx
Substitute and solve:
(0 m/s)² = (33 m/s)² + 2(-5.5 m/s²) Δx
Δx = 3 m
2. "A plane starting from rest at one end of a runway accelerates at 4.8 m/s² for 1800 m. How long did it take to accelerate?"
Given:
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = 4.8 m/s²
Δx = 1800 m
Unknown: t
Equation: Δx = v₀ t + ½ a t²
Substitute and solve:
1800 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (4.8 m/s²) t²
t ≈ 27 s
