1. Millions of gallons of water are wasted by households in America on a yearly basis as a result of wastage of water in the laundry rooms. There are many ways by which water can be conserved in the laundry room, these include:
1. Using a high efficiency washing machine.
2. Choosing the right load sizes and cycles when using washing machines.
3. Wearing clothes more than once before washing them.
4. Collection of grey and rain water.
5. Treat difficult stains before washing them.
2. Using a high efficiency machine will ensure that water is used efficiently. A high efficiency washing machine uses much less water and save about 6,000 gallons of water for an average family on a yearly basis according to Environmental Protection Agency.
Grey water refers to water that have used once. Water that has been used for washing clothes or bathing can be collected again, recycle and use for some household needs such as gardening, flushing of toilet, etc. Water tanks can also be installed to collect rain water which can be used for washing clothes. This will have positive effect on household overall water consumption.
Answer:
(a) ε = 1373.8.
(b) The wingtip which is at higher potential.
Explanation:
(a) Finding the potential difference between the airplane wingtips.
Given the parameters
wingspan of the plane is = 18.0m
speed of the plane in north direction is = 70.0m/s
magnetic field of the earth is = 1.20μT
The potential difference is given as:
ε = Blv
where ε = potential difference of wingtips
B = magnetic field of earth
l = wingspan of airplane
v = speed of airplane
ε = 1.2 x 18.0 x 63.6
ε = 1373.8
(b) Which wingtip is at higher potential?
The wingtip which is at higher potential.
Answer:
t = 1.41 sec.
Explanation:
If we assume that the acceleration of the blocks is constant, we can apply any of the kinematic equations to get the time since the block 2 was released till it reached the floor.
First, we need to find the value of acceleration, which is the same for both blocks.
If we take as our system both blocks, and think about the pulley as redirecting the force simply (as tension in the strings behave like internal forces) , we can apply Newton's 2nd Law, as they were moving along the same axis, aiming at opposite directions, as follows:
F = m₂*g - m₁*g = (m₁+m₂)*a (we choose as positive the direction of the acceleration, will be the one defined by the larger mass, in this case m₂)
⇒ a = (
= g/5 m/s²
Once we got the value of a, we can use for instance this kinematic equation, and solve for t:
Δx = 1/2*a*t² ⇒ t² = (2* 1.96m *5)/g = 2 sec² ⇒ t = √2 = 1.41 sec.
Glass has a <u>grater </u>index of refraction than air. The glass's and air's indexes of refraction will be 1.5 and 1, respectively.
<h3>What is an index of refraction?</h3>
The refractive index of a substance is a dimensionless quantity that specifies how quickly light passes through it in optics.
The index of refraction of the glass and air will be 1.5 and 1 respectively.
Hence,glass has a <u>grater </u>index of refraction than air.
