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

Physics
1 answer:
Yakvenalex [24]3 years ago
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.

An inductor is connected to an AC power supply having a maximum output voltage of 3.00 V at a frequency of 280 Hz. What inductan
Sergio [31]

Answer:

L = 0.48 H

Explanation:

let L be the inductance, Irms be the rms current, Vrms be the rms voltage and Vmax  be the maximum voltage and XL be the be the reactance of the inductor.

Vrms = Vmax/(√2)

         = (3.00)/(√2)

         = 2.121 V

then:

XL = Vrms/I  

     = (2.121)/(2.50×10^-3)

     = 848.528 V/A

that is L = XL/(2×π×f)

              = (848.528)/(2×π×(280))

              = 0.482 H

Therefore, the inductance needed to kepp the rms current less than 2.50mA is 0.482 H.

A 55 kg track and field athlete has an average power output of 5.4 kW during the 200 meter dash. How quickly did she finish the
olga_2 [115]

The time taken for the athlete to finish the race is 20 s (Option A)

<h3>What is power? </h3>

Power is simply defined as the rate at which work is done. It can be expressed mathematically as

Power (P) = work (W) / time (t)

But

Work = weight × distance

Therefore,

Power = (weight × distance ) / time

<h3>How to determine the time </h3>
  • Mass (m) = 55 Kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Weight = mg = 55 × 9.8 = 539 N
  • Power (P) = 5.4 KW = 5.4 × 1000 = 5400 W
  • Distance (d) = 200 m
  • Time (t) =?

Power = (weight × distance ) / time

5400 = (539 × 200) / t

5400 = 107800 / t

Cross multiply

5400 × t = 107800

Divide both side by 5400

t = 107800 / 5400

t = 20 s

An iceskater is turning at a PERIOD of (1/3) second with his arms outstretched. a) What is his ANGULAR VELOCITY w? b) If he pull
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Time period T = 1/3 s

angular velocity = 2π / T

= 2 x 3.14 x 3

ω = 18.84 radian / s

b )

Applying conservation of angular momentum

I₁ ω₁ = I₂ ω₂

I₁ / I₂ = ω₂ / ω₁

2 = ω₂ / ω

ω₂ = 2 ω

c )

(KE)initial = 1/2 I₁ ω²

(KE)final =  1/2 I₂ ω₂²

= 1/2 (I₁ / 2)  (2ω)²

=  I₁ ω²

c )

Change in rotational kinetic energy

=  I₁ ω² -  1/2 I₁ ω²

=  +  1/2 I₁ ω²

d )

This energy comes from the work done by centripetal force which is increased to increase the speed of rotation.

If feathers have a density of 0.500 lbs/ft^3, what volume in ft^3 will 8.0 lbs of feathers occupy?
OleMash [197]

Answer:

<em>The volume of the feathers in ft³ = 16 ft³</em>

Explanation:

Density: This can be defined as the ratio of mass of a body to the corresponding volume of that body. The S.I unit of Density is kg/m³

Mathematically it can be expressed as,

D = m/v ................................... Equation 1

making v the subject of the equation above,

v = m/D ............................. Equation 2

Where D = Density of the feathers, m = mass of the feathers, v = volume of the feathers.

Given: D = 0.50 lbs/ft³, m = 8.0 lbs.

Substituting into equation 2

v = 8/0.5

v = 16 ft³

<em>Thus the volume of the feathers in ft³ = 16 ft³</em>
