1. Millions of gallons of water are wasted by households in America on a yearly basis as a result of wastage of water in the laundry rooms. There are many ways by which water can be conserved in the laundry room, these include:
1. Using a high efficiency washing machine.
2. Choosing the right load sizes and cycles when using washing machines.
3. Wearing clothes more than once before washing them.
4. Collection of grey and rain water.
5. Treat difficult stains before washing them.
2. Using a high efficiency machine will ensure that water is used efficiently. A high efficiency washing machine uses much less water and save about 6,000 gallons of water for an average family on a yearly basis according to Environmental Protection Agency.
Grey water refers to water that have used once. Water that has been used for washing clothes or bathing can be collected again, recycle and use for some household needs such as gardening, flushing of toilet, etc. Water tanks can also be installed to collect rain water which can be used for washing clothes. This will have positive effect on household overall water consumption.
The process in which water vapour and carbon dioxide
traps heat is called the “greenhouse effect”.
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon which
occurs every day. To illustrate an example of this natural phenomenon, d<span>uring the day the Sun shines through the atmosphere.
Earth's surface warms up because of the sunlight. Meanwhile at night in the
absence of the sunlight, Earth's surface cools back and releasing the heat back
into the air. However some of the heat is retained by the greenhouse gases
(such as carbon dioxide and water vapour) in the atmosphere. This process what
keeps our planet Earth warm and cozy at an average temperature of 16°C.</span>

<span>greenhouse effect</span>
The only vertical forces are weight and normal force, and they balance since the surface is horizontal. The horizontal forces are the applied force (uppercase F) in the direction the block slides and the frictional force (lowercase f) in the opposite direction.
Apply Newton's 2nd Law in the horizontal direction:
ΣF = ma
F - f = ma
where f = µmg
F - µmg = ma
F = m(a +µg)
F = (20 kg)(1.4 m/s² + 0.28(9.8 m/s²)
F = 83 N
Answer:
kinetic energy + potential energy
