Answer: Gas pedal

Explanation: Gas pedal is also known as accelerator pedal.

It is a trigger in an automobile which accelerates the process of fuel combustion in the engine. Automobiles consist of an Internal Combustion engine i.e. the fuel burns inside a closed chamber to generate the energy.

When the gas pedal is triggered the supply of the fuel to the engine increases and the rate of fuel combustion also increases which in turn produces greater power. And we know that power is the rate of doing work or the rate of energy transfer which causes the acceleration in the vehicle.

All of the controls can cause acceleration. The gas pedal and brake cause the car to change speed and the steering wheel can cause a change in velocity by changing its direction which is also acceleration.

In what direction does centripetal force act on an object that is traveling in a circular path?
Setler [38]

According to Newton's first law of motion, it is the natural tendency of all moving objects to continue in motion in the same direction that they are moving ... unless some form of unbalanced force acts upon the object to deviate its motion from its straight-line path.

Hope this helped, have a great day!

A fixed system of charges exerts a force of magnitude 22 N on a 4.0 C charge. The 4.0 C charge is replaced with a 8.0 C charge.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

44 N

Explanation:

The electrostatic forces between two charges is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is their separation

We notice that the force is directly proportional to the charges.

In this problem, initially we have a force of

F = 22 N

on a q2 = 4.0 C, exerted by a charge q1.

If the charge is doubled,

q2 = 8.0 C

This means that the force will also double, so it will be

F=22 N \cdot 2 = 44 N

Consider a household that uses 14,000 kWh of electricity and 900 gal of fuel oil, per year, during a heating season. The average
MissTica

Answer:

reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions by that household per year is 9517.2 lbm per year

Explanation:

given data

electricity consume = 14000 kWh

fuel consume = 900 gal

CO₂ produced of fuel = 26.4 lbm/gal

CO₂ produced of electricity  = 1.54 lbm/kWh

oil and electricity usage = 21 percent

to find out

the reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions

solution

we calculate the amount of CO₂ produce here that is

amount of CO₂ produce = ( electricity consume×CO₂ produce electricity + fuel consume × CO₂ consume fuel )    ........................1

put here value

amount of CO₂ produce = ( 14000 × 1.54 + 900 × 26.4 )  

amount of CO₂ produce = 45320 lbm/yr

we know reduction is 21%

so

reduction in amount of CO₂ produced is

reduction in CO₂ produced = 45320 × 21%

reduction in CO₂ produced = 9517.2 lbm per year

so reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions by that household per year is 9517.2 lbm per year
