The energy expenditure value of traveling by car is 3.6 MJ/passenger-kilometer. For one person making a trip of 1000 km, if a ga

Answer:

30[gal] would be requiered.

Explanation:

The consumption ratio is given by the following expression:

\frac{3.6[MJ]}{[1pass-km]}

To find the amount of energy needed we must multiply the ratio by the number of passengers, in this way the unit passenger-kilometer is removed from the denominator.

\frac{3.6[MJ]}{[1 pass-km]}*1[pass-1000km]\\\\ = 3600[MJ]

1 gal = 120 [MJ]

  x    = 3600[MJ]

x = 30 [gal]

What is true about resistance? Check all that apply. A. It is the excess accumulation of electric charge B. It is measured in oh
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

B, C and E

Explanation:

The unit of resistance in the international system is the Ohm, the equation that describes the resistance is:

R=p\frac{l}{S} \\

Where (l) is for lenght of the wire, (S) is the area and (p) its the constant associated to the conductor.

It's related by the Ohm's Law:

R=\frac{V}{I}

If an astronaut throws an object in space, the object’s speed will _____
BigorU [14]
The object's speed will not change.

In fact, after the astronaut throws the object, no additional forces will act on it (since the object is in free space). According to Newton's second law:
\sum F=ma
where the first term is the resultant of the forces acting on the body, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration, we see that if no forces act on the object, then the acceleration is zero. Therefore, the acceleration of the object is zero, and its velocity remains constant.
