The energy efficiency of a car is approximately 20%. If you put 10 gallons of gas into the car, how many gallons are “wasted”?

First, you find what 20% of 10 gallons of gas would be. This will show how many gallons the car actually uses.
10 gallons x 20% =
10 x 0.20 =
2 gallons used

Then you subtract that number from the total 10 gallons to get how many gallons of gas would be wasted.
10 gallons - 2 gallons = 
8 gallons of gas wasted

Answer:

We kindly invite you to read carefully the explanation and check the image attached below.

Explanation:

According to this problem, the rocket is accelerated uniformly due to thrust during 30 seconds and after that is decelerated due to gravity. The velocity as function of initial velocity, acceleration and time is:

v_{f} = v_{o}+a\cdot (t-t_{o}) (1)

Where:

v_{o} - Initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

v_{f} - Final velocity, measured in meters per second.

a - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

t_{o} - Initial time, measured in seconds.

t - Final time, measured in seconds.

Now we obtain the kinematic equations for thrust and free fall stages:

Thrust (v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, a = 30\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, t_{o} = 0\,s, 0\,s\le t< 30\,s)

v = 30\cdot t (2)

Free fall (v_{o} = 900\,\frac{m}{s}, a = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s}, t_{o} = 30\,s, 30\,s \le t \le 120\,s)

v = 900-9.81\cdot (t-30) (3)

Now we created the graph speed-time, which can be seen below.

1) 4°C : It has the highest density as shown on the graph.

2) Water expands when it freezes, making it less dense than just water.

3) The ice would sink to the bottom, then the rest of the water would freeze as well, the entire lake/river/whatever will freeze eliminating the organisms that live there.
