Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

one gallon of gasoline produces 9.50 kg of carbon.

The total number of cars = 40 million

Distance covered by each car = 7930 miles

Consumption rate of the cars per miles traveled is 23.6 miles per gallon.

Hence the annual gasoline consumption by all the cars in the United States of America = (total number of cars × Distance covered by each car) ÷ Consumption rate of the cars per miles

annual gasoline consumption by all the cars = (40000000 × 7930 miles) ÷ 23.6 miles/gallon = `1.344067797 × 10¹⁰ gallons

1.344067797 × 10¹⁰ gallons = 1.344067797*10^{10}\  gallons *\frac{9.50\ kg}{1\ gallon} =1.276864407*10^{11}\ kg\ of \ carbon\ dioxide

What do measurements of the mass of the Milky Way indicate?
miv72 [106K]

<span>That the mass is far lesser and distributed mistakenly, as compared to what the orbits of stars declare it should be. Stars orbit more rapidly than the mass would predict, particularly out toward the galactic edge. This means that there is more mass than has been measured, and that it is spread out in a huge cloud around the galaxy. This is one of the reasons why scientists believe that dark matter exists.</span>

I need to write down like meanings in those words. Please help!!
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Bilateral: When something is bilateral it has two sides or it affects both sides of something. Discussions between two political parties are called bilateral because both sides get to share their views. Bilateral comes from Latin: bi means "two" and lateralis means "belonging to the side."

Endotherm: is an organism that maintains its body at a metabolically favorable temperature, largely by the use of heat set free by its internal bodily functions instead of relying almost purely on ambient heat

Subspecies: In biological classification, the term subspecies refers to one of two or more populations of a species living in different subdivisions of the species' range and varying from one another by morphological characteristics. ... In the wild, subspecies do not interbreed due to geographic isolation or sexual selection

Arthropod: Arthropoda, such as an insect, spider, or crustacean.

Micrometer: an instrument used with a telescope or microscope for measuring very small distances. 2 : an instrument having a rod moved by fine screw threads and used for making exact measurements. micrometer.

Hypothermia: Hypothermia is a potentially dangerous drop in body temperature, usually caused by prolonged exposure to cold temperatures. The risk of cold exposure increases as the winter months arrive. But if you're exposed to cold temperatures on a spring hike or capsized on a summer sail, you can also be at risk of hypothermia.

Polymorph: Polymorphism is the ability of a substance to crystallize into different crystalline forms. These crystalline forms are called polymorphs or crystalline modifications. Polymorphs have the same liquid or gaseous state but they behave differently in the solid state.
