Why does electricity cause climate change?

Physics
1 answer:
user100 [1]3 years ago
5 0

It's not the electricity. It's how we produce it.

Solar panels, wind turbines, nuclear reactors, and water wheels can be used to produce electricity with no effect on climate.

Coal, oil, wood, gasoline, natural gas, household trash, and tall dry grass can be burned to boil water to make steam to turn a generator and make electricity. When everybody does that, the burning releases enough Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere to futz up the Earth's climates. That's exactly what we have done for the past 200 years.

1. A 1000 kg bag of sand has an<br> acceleration of 0.5m/s/s. What is the<br> force on the bag?
densk [106]

Answer:

We conclude that the force on the bag is 500 N.

Explanation:

Given

  • Mass m = 1000 kg
  • Acceleration a = 0.5 m/s²

To determine

Force F = ?

We know that when a force is applied to a body, it produces acceleration.

<u>Important Tip: </u>

  • We can determine the force on the bag using the formula F = ma

Using the formula

F = ma

where

  • F is the force
  • m is the mass
  • a is the acceleration

now substitute m = 1000, and a = 0.5 m/s² in the formula

F = ma

F = (1000)(0.5)

F=500 N

Therefore, we conclude that the force on the bag is 500 N.
