Answer:

1. Installing solar panels on the roof. This is an example of renewable energy, and solar panels help provide electricity for a home.

2. Using LED lights instead of traditional lightbulbs. The modern LED lights use much less electricity and function up to 90% more efficiently than the traditional lightbulbs.

3. Using rain barrels to collect water from the roof. Installing rain barrels to collect rainwater to water your plants and garden is a great way to save water and cut down on your water bill.

Hope this helps! :)

15 Points , Physics HW, can someone please show me step by step how to calculate percent difference for this problem. My numbers

timofeeve [1]

The percent difference between two numbers $x$ and $y$ is given by

$\dfrac{|y-x|}x \times 100\%$

The absolute value is there because we only care about the absolute percent difference, and not taking into account whether we go from $x$ to $y$ or vice versa. If we remove them, we have two possible interpretations of percent difference.

For example, the (absolute) percent difference between 3 and 6 is

$\dfrac{|6-3|}3 \times 100\% = 100\%$

In other words, we add 100% of 3 to 3 to end up with 6. This is the same as the percent difference going from 3 to 6. On the other hand, the percent difference going from 6 to 3 is

$\dfrac{3-6}3\times100\%=-50\%$

which is to say, we take away 50% of 6 away from 6 to end up with 3.

"Make comparisons to object measurements" tells us that the differences should be computed relative to "measurements for object". In other words, take $x$ from the left column and $y$ from the right column.

$\dfrac{|7.1-7.3|}{7.1} \times 100\% \approx 2.82\%$

$\dfrac{|4.8-5.0|}{4.8} \times 100\% \approx 4.17\%$

$\dfrac{|7.2-7.5|}{7.2} \times 100\% \approx 4.17\%$

Two blocks, of mass m and 2m, are initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. A force F is exerted individually on e

Anon25 [30]

The block has the greatest average power provided is bock m.

<h3>What is instantaneous power?</h3>

This is the product of force and velocity exerted on an object.

Mathematically instantaneous power is calculated as;

P = Fv

where;

F is the applied force
v is the velocity

Both blocks (m and 2m) will experience the same force but different velocity.

The smaller block (m) will experience greater velocity.

Thus, the block has the greatest average power provided is bock m.

The freight cars a and b have a mass of 20 mg and 15 mg, respectively. if the cars collide and couple together, what is the velo

igomit [66]

Suppose car A is moving with a velocity Va, and car b with a velocity Vb,

According the principle of conservation of momentum:

Va x Ma + Vb x Mb = (Ma + Mb) V

V = (Va x Ma + Vb x Mb)/(Ma +Mb)

V = speed of cars after coupling

V = (Va x 20 mg + Vb x 15 mg)/(20 mg + 15 mg)

Put in the values of Va and Vb, and get the V
