What provides and has always provided most of Earth's energy for living things and technology?

1 answer:

6 0

Hints:
The Earth's energy does not come from eating a balanced diet,
or from ninja turtles, or from getting sleep and exercise.
There are no hamsters running on a treadmill inside the Earth.
God didn't wind up a big spring to operate the Earth.

The Sun provides, and has always provided, almost all of the energy
used on Earth. It was the energy that got stored in dead dinosaurs
to make gas and oil, and it's the energy that makes plants grow, and
gets stored in them so we can get the energy by eating the plants.

There's an electric field in some region of space that doesn't change with position. An electron starts moving with a speed of 2

tangare [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

speed of Electron $u=2\times 10^7\ m/s$

final speed of Electron $v=4\times 10^7\ m/s$

distance traveled $d=1.2\ cm$

using equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where v=Final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

$(4\times 10^7)^2-(2\times 10^7)^2=2\times a\times 1.2\times 10^{-2}$

$a=5\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2$

acceleration is given by $a=\frac{qE}{m}$

where q=charge of electron

m=mass of electron

E=electric Field strength

$5\times 10^{16}=\frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\cdot E}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

$E=248.3\ kN/C$

Answer:

Position A/Position E

$K = E$ , $U = 0$

Position B/Position D

$K = (1-x)\cdot E$ , $U = x\cdot E$ , for $0 < x < 1$

Position C

$K = 0$ , $U = E$

Explanation:

Let suppose that ball-Earth system represents a conservative system. By Principle of Energy Conservation, total energy ( $E$ ) is the sum of gravitational potential energy ( $U$ ) and translational kinetic energy ( $K$ ), all measured in joules. In addition, gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to height ( $h$ ) and translational kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of velocity.

Besides, gravitational potential energy is increased at the expense of translational kinetric energy. Then, relative amounts at each position are described below:

Position A/Position E

$K = E$ , $U = 0$

Position B/Position D

$K = (1-x)\cdot E$ , $U = x\cdot E$ , for $0 < x < 1$

Position C

$K = 0$ , $U = E$

At the equator, the radius of the Earth is approximately 6370 km. A plane flies at a very low altitude at a constant speed of v

Cerrena [4.2K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of linear motion. From there we will define the distance as the circumference of the earth (approximate as a sphere). With the speed given in the statement we will simply clear the equations below and find the time.

$R= 6370*10^3 m$
