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

Answer:

  1750 m

Explanation:

The distance traveled is the 750 meters to the Aunt's house plus the 1000 m from there to Chick-fil-A.

  750 +1000 = 1750 . . . meters traveled

The suspension cable of a 1,000 kg elevator snaps, sending the elevator moving downward through its shaft. The emergency brakes
tester [92]

Answer:

option (E) 1,000,000 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the suspension cable, m = 1,000 kg

Distance, h = 100 m

Now,

from the work energy theorem

Work done by the gravity = Work done by brake

or

mgh = Work done by brake

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity = 10 m/s²

or

Work done by brake  = 1000 × 10 × 100

or

Work done by brake = 1,000,000 J

this work done is the release of heat in the brakes

Hence, the correct answer is option (E) 1,000,000 J

Estimate the smallest possible period of a satellite in a circular orbit around earth. (mass and radius of earth is 5.98 x 1024
myrzilka [38]
Given: Mass of earth Me = 5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg

           Radius of earth r = 6.37 x 10⁶ m

            G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²

Required: Smallest possible period T = ?

Formula: F = ma;  F = GMeMsat/r²     Centripetal acceleration ac = V²/r

               but V = 2πr/T

equate T from all equation.

F = ma

GMeMsat/r² = Msat4π²/rT²    

GMe = 4π²r³/T²

T² = 4π²r³/GMe  

T² = 39.48(6.37 x 10⁶ m)³/6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²)(5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg)

T² = 1.02 x 10²² m³/3.99 x 10¹⁴ m³/s²

T² = 25,563,909.77 s²

T = 5,056.08 seconds    or around   1.4 Hour

Why you cannot use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance. What problem you may face if you use it
Stells [14]

The problem you would encounter is measuring the height of two different people, a tall one and a short one, and getting the same answer for both of them.

No matter WHAT we're hearing out of the White House these days, you CAN'T bend and stretch your standard measuring devices, or any other 'facts', to make them fit the thing that you're measuring.  This does not work.  You're always entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts.
