Per person, the energy consumption in the United States is about 3.3 × 10^8 Btu/yr. This is equivalent to a power of:________. A
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW

Explanation:

Btu of British thermal unit is a unit of heat. The relation between btu/year and watts is given by :

1\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\times 3.3\times 10^8\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11031.9\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW

So,  3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr is equal to 11 kW. Hence, the correct option is (d).

a 1210 kg roller coaster car is moving 6.33 m/s. as it approaches the station, brakes slow it down to 2.38 m/s over a distance o
Stels [109]

Answer:

4960 N

Explanation:

First, find the acceleration.

Given:

v₀ = 6.33 m/s

v = 2.38 m/s

Δx = 4.20 m

Find: a

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(2.38 m/s)² = (6.33 m/s)² + 2a (4.20 m)

a = -4.10 m/s²

Next, find the force.

F = ma

F = (1210 kg) (-4.10 m/s²)

F = -4960 N

The magnitude of the force is 4960 N.

What is an unbalanced force
Butoxors [25]
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".

If all of the forces acting on an object all add up to zero, then we say that
<span>the group </span>of forces is balanced.  When that happens, the group of forces
has the same effect on the object as if there were no forces on it at all. 

An example: 
Two people with exactly equal strength are having a tug-of-war.  They pull
with equal force in opposite directions.  Each person is sweating and straining,
grunting and groaning, and exerting tremendous force.  But their forces add up
to zero, and the rope goes nowhere.  The <u>group</u> of forces on the rope is balanced.

On the other hand, if one of the offensive linemen is pulling on one end of
the rope, and one of the cheerleaders is pulling on the other end, then their
forces don't add up to zero, because even though they're opposite, they're
not equal.  The <u>group</u> of forces is <u>unbalanced</u>, and the rope moves.

A group of forces is either balanced or unbalanced.  A single force isn't.

What is a characteristic of a gas?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Gases have three characteristic properties: 1. they are easy to compress, 2. they expand to fill their containers, and 3.they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form. Compressibility. An internal combustion engine provides a good example of the ease with which gases can be compressed.
