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! :)

Why do you think it is a driving force of weather around the world?

Finger [1]

Answer:

The sun.

Explanation:

The sun provides energy for living organisms, and it drives our planet’s weather and climate patterns.

Remember, Earth is spherical and the energy from the sun does not reach all areas with equal intensity. Areas exposed to the sun are directly on the sun’s rays (i.e. those nearest to the equator) and hence, receive greater solar input. In contrast, those in higher latitudes receive sunlight that is spread over a larger area and that has taken a longer path through the atmosphere. As a result, these higher latitudes receive less solar energy.

Also, ocean circulation and precipitation are all factors of weather

Ben hit a 0.25kg nail into a wood with a 5.2kg hammer. If the hammer moves witht the speed of 52 m/s and two fifth of its kineti

Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of nails is 0.25kg

Mass of hammer 5.2kg

Speed of hammer is =52m/s

Then, Ben kinetic energy is given as

K.E= ½mv²

K.E= ½×5.2×52²

K.E= 7030.4J

Given that, two-fifth of kinetic energy is converted to internal energy

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × K.E

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × 7030.4

I.E=2812.16J.

Energy increase is total Kinetic energy - the internal energy

∆Et= K.E-I.E

∆Et= 7030.4 - 2812.16

∆Et= 4218.24J

An astronaut is in space with a baseball and a bowling ball. The astronaut pushes both objects in the same direction. If both ba

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

As a mass greater than that of baseball, at the moment of the bowling wave the moment of the baseball ball is also greater

Explanation:

This problem is an application of momentum and momentum. When the astronaut pushed balls, he needed more force to move the ball of greater mass (bowling). The expression for soul is

p = m v

Besibol Blade

p1 = m1 v

Bowling ball

p2 = m2 v

As a mass greater than that of baseball, at the moment of the bowling wave the moment of the baseball ball is also greater

p2 >> p1

A rock is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 16 ft/s from an initial height of 5 ft. write a quadratic function equation

Andrei [34K]

During upward projection the final velocity is zero, and the gravitational acceleration is -10 m/s² (against the gravity).
Therefore; using the equation;
S = 1/2gt² + ut
Where s is the height h, g is gravitational acceleration, and t is the time and u is the initial velocity u, is 16 ft/s.
Thus; h= 1/2(-10)t² + 16t
We get; h = -5t² + 16t
Therefore; the quadratic equation is 5t² - 16t + h =0

A robot is on the surface of Mars. The angle of depression from a camera in the robot to a rock on the surface of Mars is 13.69

ra1l [238]

Answer:

The distance between the camera and the rock is 836.6 cm

Explanation:

A right triangle is formed where the hypotenuse (h) is the distance between the rock and the camera. One of the leg (l) is the distance between the camera and the surface. The angle between the hypotenuse and this leg is α = 90° - 13.69° = 76.31°. By definition:

cos α = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(76.31) = 198.0/h

h = 198.0/cos(76.31)

h = 836.6 cm
