what of instead of other forms of energy we use sound energy to power every thing since sound is there every where

Physics

Bad White [126]3 years ago

So is light, but we don't use light either to power anything, even though we do know how to capture them and extract their energy.

The reason we don't use sound or light as sources of energy is because the amount of energy in the sound and light that surrounds us is pitifully small ... in the milliwatts or microwatts, whereas the things we build and operate with oil or electricity need watts or kilowatts to function.

1 watt of sound will drive you out of the room and wake the neighbors, and 1 watt of light ... if it all enters your eye ... can permanently damage your sight.

Elanso [62]
<span>The amount of dissolved oxygen in water may decrease because of the increase in organic matter in the water. <span>Aquatic organisms breathe and use oxygen. Large amounts of oxygen are consumed by the decomposition of bacteria (when there are large amounts of dead matter to decompose, there will be a significant number of bacteria). Examples: dead organic matter (algae), wastewater, garden waste, oils and fats, all this results in a decrease in dissolved oxygen in the water.</span></span>

Which equation represents the law of conservation of energy in a closed system?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

KE + PE = KE + PE

Explanation:

In a closed system, the mechanical energy of the system is constant.

Mechanical energy is given by the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy; mathematically:

U = KE + PE

where

KE is the kinetic energy

PE is the potential energy

This means that if we consider two situations, one at the beginning and one at the end, the value of U will not change if the system is closed; this means that the sum KE + PE will remain the same, so we can write:

KE + PE = KE + PE

When you're 10 or 20 miles away from the origin of an earthquake, the P-waves get to you a little bit before the S-waves. Which
zvonat [6]

Explanation:

P, Primary, or Compressional waves travel the fastest (~6 km/sec in the upper crust). They cause the matter to oscillate forward and backward, parallel to the motion of the seismic wavefront. P waves push (compress) and pull (dilate) the rock that they pass through.

If potential energy at point A is 12 joules, what is the potential energy at D?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

In D: 3J

Explanation:

Potential energy: Ep=mgh where m is the mass, h altitude.

In point A: h=20cm=0.2m

Epa=12=0.2×mg. Thus mg=12/0.2=60N

For point D: hd=5cm=0.05m

Epd=mg×0.05=60×0.05=3J
