Answer:
1. a. increase
2. Because the electron has a negative charge its electric potential energy does not decrease as one might expect, but increases instead.
Explanation:
Lets first consider the relation between the electric field and electric potential.
E = -ΔV/Δs
As this equation indicates that the electric field is due to the change in potential and change in the the position of charge. Electric field is directed towards the decreasing potential and the electron moves in the opposite direction of the electric field where potential increases. Thats why the best explanation is that the electron has a negative charge it moves towards the positive region where the electric potential energy increases.
Answer:
0.10013 atm
Explanation:
Applying Boyle's Law,
P'V' = PV................... Equation 1
Where P' = Initial pressure of air, V' = Initial volume of air, P = Final pressure of air, V = Final volume of air.
make P the subject of the equation
P = P'V'/V..................... Equation 2
Given: P' = 0.355 atm, V' 0.110 m³, V = 0.390 m³
Substitute into equation 2
P = 0.355(0.11)/0.39
P = 0.10013 atm.
Answer:
Explanation:
A )
The smallest tidal ranges are less than 1 m (3 feet). The highest tides, called spring tides, are formed when the earth, sun and moon are lined up in a row. This happens every two weeks during a new moon or full moon. Smaller tides, called neap tides, are formed when the earth, sun and moon form a right angle.
C ) The most extreme tidal range occurs during spring tides, when the gravitational forces of both the Moon and Sun are aligned (syzygy), reinforcing each other in the same direction (new moon) or in opposite directions (full moon).
We shall convert all of the densities to lbs/gal, so the product of
BTU/lbs and lbs/gal gives us the basis of comparison, which was "ratio of energy to volume".
grams / ml x 1 lbs/454 grams → 1 lbs/ 454 ml
1 lbs/454 ml x 3785.41 ml/gal → 3785.41 lbs/454gal
Conversion of g/ml = 8.34 lbs/gal
Looking at each fuel:
Kerosene:
18,500 x (8.34 x 0.82) = 126,517 BTU/gal
Gasoline:
20,900 x (8.34 x 0.737) = 128,463 BTU/gal
Ethanol:
11,500 x (8.34 x 0.789) = 75,673 BTU/gal
Hydrogen:
61,000 x (8.34 x 0.071) = 36,120 BTU/gal
The best fuel in terms of energy to volume ratio is Gasoline.
Gallons required:
BTU needed / BTU per gallon
= 85.2 x 10⁹ / 128,463
= 6.6 x 10⁵ gallons
Answer:
Some of the effects of a dam on the environment includes;
1) Increase in the amount of the greenhouse gases
2) Removal of the natural wetland and ocean carbon sinks
3) Disruption of the sources of nutrients in the ecosystem
4) Destruction of habitats
5) Raising of the sea levels and waste waters
6) Displace villages and communities
7) Dams have a potential to create flood risk
8) Dams lead to increased water loss due to evaporation and transpiration
9) Dams causes earthquakes
Explanation:
Dams are a source of renewable energy and are a means to prevent floods, however, dams can also have detrimental impact on the climate and the environment.
