Answers and Explanation:

Forms of Kinetic energy

  • Translational kinetic energy
  • Rotational kinetic energy
  • Vibrational kinetic energy

Forms of Potential energy

  • Gravitational potential energy
  • Electrostatic potential energy
  • Elastic potential energy
  • chemical potential energy

Energy efficiency is a measure of the amount of energy conserved in a process. It is the ratio of the output energy to the input energy.

Differences between renewable and non renewable energy

  • Renewable energy can replenish themselves by recycling and replacement while non-renewable energy cannot
  • Renewable energy are continuously available while non renewable energy are exhausted
  • Renewable energy has low carbon emission and hence environment friendly while non renewable energy has high carbon emission and not environmental friendly

Sources of renewable energy

Solar energy.

Wind energy.

Hydro energy.

Tidal energy.

Geothermal energy.

Biomass energy.

Sources of non-renewable energy

Coal

Petroleum

Natural gas

Distribution of energy consumption in the US by energy sector

Petroleum = 36.2 %

Natural gas = 28%

Coal = 13.9%

Renewable energy = 11.0%

Nuclear electric power = 8.4%

Most of the energy consumed by the United States is non-renewable

Electricity is a secondary source of energy. It is derived from the conversion of primary sources

A secondary source of energy is a derivative from the transformation of primary sources of energy

wo kids are on a seesaw. The one on the left has a mass of 75 kg and is sitting 1.5 m from the pivot point. The one on the right
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

4.5 Nm (Anticlockwise)

Explanation:

Let the 75 kg kid is sitting at the left end and the 60 kg kid is sitting on the right end.

Anticlockwise Torque = 75 x 1.5 = 112.5 Nm

clockwise Torque = 60 x 1.8 = 108 Nm

Net torque = Anticlockwise torque - clockwise torque

Net Torque = 112.5 - 108 = 4.5 Nm (Anticlockwise)

Consider a wave along the length of a stretched slinky toy, where the distance between coils increases and decreases. What type
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

"Longitudinal wave" is the appropriate answer.

Explanation:

  • Generating waves whenever the form of communication being displaced in a similar direction as well as in the reverse way of the wave's designated points, could be determined as Longitudinal waves.
  • A wave running the length of something like a Slinky stuffed animal, which expands as well as reduces the spacing across spindles, produces a fine image or graphic.

Kay [80]
<span>Poet Kuangchi Chang did not remain in China long enough to be "re-educated." Following the Communist takeover he fled to the United States. His poem "Garden of My Childhood" describes China before the revolution as a peaceful, idyllic garden with a violent horde rapidly approaching. A vine, the wind, and the sea are each personified, and each beckons for him to run. It is not until "eons later," when he is "worlds away," that his "running is all done," and he finds himself at his destination: another garden, just like the one he had left behind.</span>
