Answer:

D: 1 Percent

Explanation:

According to the circle graph, only 1 percent of all the electricity in the United States is generated using solar energy. The reason for this is because currently solar cells are expensive to build and maintain. As solar energy becomes cheaper to use, it will most likely become a more popular source of electrical energy. ( this came right of study island )

The correct answer is - D. 1 percent.

The United States are the biggest consumer of electricity in the world. Because of that the United States are using multiple different sources in order to satisfy the demand for the electricity. The solar energy though accounts for only 1% of the total amount of produced electricity in the country and that is concerning. The biggest concern of course is the environmental one as the majority of the electricity is produced by sources that are polluting the environment. The other concern is that the United States are not using their potential in gaining more electricity from the solar radiation when taken in account that they have very large areas in the country that have a lot of intense solar radiation and clear skies throughout most of the year.

Lerok [7]

Answer:

Thrust due to fuel consumption must overcome gravitational force from the Earth to send the rocket up into space.

Explanation:

From the concept of Escape Velocity, derived from Newton's Law of Gravitation, definition of Work, Work-Energy Theorem and Principle of Energy Conservation, which is the minimum speed such that rocket can overcome gravitational forces exerted by the Earth, and according to the Tsiolkovski's Rocket Equation, which states that thrust done by the rocket is equal to the change in linear momentum of the rocket itself, we conclude that thrust due to fuel consumption must overcome gravitational force from the Earth to send the rocket up into space.

3. Describe the flow of one molecule of water through the water cycle, beginning in the ocean.
scZoUnD [109]

molecules of water are never destroyed - they go through various uses in a cycle of re-use. beginning in the ocean. a water molecue is attached to the wet suit of a deep sea diver. when the diver gets back on his boat, the water molecule leaves the ocean. Diver dry his suit under the sun. The water molecule is evaporated to the air. It meets up with more water molecules to form cloud. Cloud becomes rain over ground. Rain drains into stream which merges into river. River runs out to the ocean and the water cycle starts anew.
