What is one way you are using nonrenewable resources?
lutik1710 [3]

Putting gas in your car is one way you are using non-renewable resources.

You could Reduce, Recycle and Re-use items. You could manage what you do with you're water. Reducing and reusing products cuts down on manufacturing pollution, just as the use of recycled instead of virgin materials prevents pollution in industrial processes. You could add food coloring to your toilet tank. You could also do this: use sprinkler heads that sprinkle mist out instead of droplets of water.  to avoid losing water to evaporation.

A man lifts a 25.9 kg bucket from a well and does 5.92 kJ of work.The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 . How deep is the wel
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The well is 23.3 m

Explanation:

As the bucket is lifted out of the well, energy in the man is being transferred to the bucket as gravitational potential energy.

Work done against gravity =  mass * height * acceleration due to to gravity

W  =  mgh

5 920 J = 25.9 kg * h * 9.8 m/s²

h = 23.3 m

calculate the force required to take away a flat corcular plate of radius 0.01m from the surface of water. the surface tention o
leonid [27]

Answer:

Force = 0.0047175\ N

Explanation:

Given

T = 0.075N/m --- Surface Tension

r = 0.01m --- Radius

Required

Determine the required force

First, we calculate the circumference (C) of the circular plate

C= 2\pi r

C= 2 * \frac{22}{7} * 0.01m

C= \frac{2 * 22 * 0.01}{7}m

C= \frac{0.44}{7}m

C= 0.0629 m

The applied force is then calculated using;

Force = C * T

Force = 0.0629m * 0.075N/m

Force = 0.0047175\ N
