Answer: Scattering reflection

Sunlight reaches earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gasses and particles in the air. Blue light is seen more than others because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

Consider a household that uses 14,000 kWh of electricity and 900 gal of fuel oil, per year, during a heating season. The average

ryzh [129]

Answer:

9517.2 lbm

Explanation:

Electricity consumption = 14000 kWh/year

Fuel consumption = 900 gal/year

Amount of CO₂ produced per gallon = 26.4 lbm/gal

Amount of CO₂ produced per kWh = 1.54 lbm/kWh

Amount of CO₂ produced in one year

$14000\times 1.54+900\times 26.4=45320\ lbm$

Reduction would be

$0.21\times 45320=9517.2\ lbm$

The reduction in the amount of CO₂ produced is 9517.2 lbm

Driving Zone 7 corresponds with

stepan [7]

Your driving zone refers to the areas of space around your car, it refers to all the area around your car as far as your eyes can see.
Each car has seven zones numbered from 1 to 7. Driving zone 7 corresponds with THE SPACE YOUR VEHICLE IS OCCUPYING. The other zones are as follows:
zone 1 = area directly infront of your car
zone 2 = your left lane
zone 3 = your right lane
zone 4 = left rear of your car
zone 5 = right rear of your car
zone 6 = area directly behind your car.

In space (no gravity or friction), you throw a ball with mass 0.1 kg at a target with mass 1 kg. You throw the ball at a speed o

ioda

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum in space to know the velocity of combination after the impact

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

.1 x 4 = ( 1 + .1 ) v₂

v₂ = .3636 m /s

1 )

Kinetic energy of the combination

= 1/2 x 1.1 x ( .3636)²

= 7.3 x 10⁻² J

2 )

Initial kinetic energy of the system

= 1/2 x 0.1 x 4²

= 0.8 J

Final kinetic energy of the system = 7.3 x 10⁻²

Loss of energy = .8 - .073

= .727 J

This energy was converted into internal energy of the system .

3 )

increase in entropy = dQ / T

Here dQ = .727 J

T = 300 ( Constant )

dQ / T = 2.42 X 10⁻³ J/K

A 1.50 µF capacitor and a 3.50 µF capacitor are connected in series across a 2.50 V battery. How much charge (in µC) is stored o

Nataly_w [17]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$C_{1} = 1.50 \times 10^{-6} F$

$C_{1} = 3.50 \times 10^{-6} F$

Voltage = 2.50 V

Hence, calculate the equivalence capacitor as follows.

$\frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{C_{1}} + \frac{1}{C_{2}}$

$\frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{1.50 \times 10^{-6} F} + \frac{1}{3.50 \times 10^{-6} F}$

= $0.945 \times 10^{-6} F$

C = $1.06 \times 10^{-6} F$

Now, we will calculate the charge across each capacitance as follows.

Q = CV

= $1.06 \times 10^{-6} F \times 2.50 V$

= $2.65 \times 10^{-6} C$

= $2.65 \mu C$

Thus, we can conclude that $2.65 \mu C$ is the charge stored on each given capacitor.

The illustration in figure below shows a uniform metre rule weighing 30 N pivoted on a wedge placed under the 40 cm mark and car

Nitella [24]

Answer:

W = 30 N

Explanation:

Applying the summation of torques about the wedge for equilibrium, taking the clockwise direction as negative. Since the ruler is balanced horizontally about the wedge. Therefore, the summation of all torques acting about the wedge must be equal to zero.

$(70\ N)(40\ cm - 10\ cm)-(30\ N)(50\ cm-40\ cm)-(W)(100\ cm - 40\ cm) = 0\\W(60\ cm) = (70\ N)(30\ cm)-(30\ N)(10\ cm)\\\\W = \frac{1800\ N.cm}{60\ cm}$
