<u>Answer</u>

Fossils are remains from animals and plants. They are embedded in rock and preserved in petrified form.

In a fossil fuels power plant carbon fuels such as oil, coal and gas are burnt to generate steam that are used to turn large turbines that generate electricity.

These turbines turn magnetic fields inside conductor inducing a large current in them.

Fossils fuels are much reliable as they can be used for a long period of time.

Water is flowing in a pipe with a circular cross section but with varying cross-sectional area, and at all points the water comp
slamgirl [31]

(a) 5.66 m/s

The flow rate of the water in the pipe is given by

Q=Av

where

Q is the flow rate

A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe

v is the speed of the water

Here we have

Q=1.20 m^3/s

the radius of the pipe is

r = 0.260 m

So the cross-sectional area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.260 m)^2=0.212 m^2

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the speed of the water:

v=\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{1.20 m^3/s}{0.212 m^2}=5.66 m/s

(b) 0.326 m

The flow rate along the pipe is conserved, so we can write:

Q_1 = Q_2\\A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2

where we have

A_1 = 0.212 m^2\\v_1 = 5.66 m/s\\v_2 = 3.60 m/s

and where A_2 is the cross-sectional area of the pipe at the second point.

Solving for A2,

A_2 = \frac{A_1 v_1}{v_2}=\frac{(0.212 m^2)(5.66 m/s)}{3.60 m/s}=0.333 m^2

And finally we can find the radius of the pipe at that point:

A_2 = \pi r_2^2\\r_2 = \sqrt{\frac{A_2}{\pi}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.333 m^2}{\pi}}=0.326 m

talk, make conversation. text isnt always the answer, but sadly now it is. text them or better yet, call them. you can talk and then do not just blurt it out. say it calmly. they say yes, congrats, but if they say no, do not have a mental breakdown. it might ruin a friendship.

A kangaroo jumps straight up to a vertical height of 1.66 m. How long was it in the air before returning to Earth? Express your
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The kangaroo was 1.164s in the air before returning to Earth

Explanation:

For this we are going to use the equation of distance for an uniformly accelerated movement, that is:

x = x_{0} + V_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

Where:

x = Final distance

xo = Initial point

Vo = Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

t = time

We have the following values:

x = 1.66m      

xo = 0m (the kangaroo starts from the floor)

Vo = 0 m/s (each jump starts from the floor and from a resting position)

a = 9.8 m/s^2 (the acceleration is the one generated by the gravity of earth)

t =This is just the time it takes to the kangaoo reach the 1.66m, we don't know the value.

Now replace the values in the equation

x = x_{0} + V_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

1.66 = 0 + 0t + \frac{1}{2}9.8t^2

1.66 = 4.9t^2

\frac{1.66}{4.9}  = t^2

\sqrt{0.339} = t\\ t = 0.582s

It takes to the kangaroo 0.582s to go up and the same time to go down then the total time it is in the air before returning to earth is

t = 0.582s + 0.582s

t = 1.164s

The kangaroo was 1.164s in the air before returning to Earth
