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

1 answer:

4 0

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

an ice cube placed in microwave melts in five minutes and it takes 3.50 kj of energy to melt it. what is the power of the microw

Artist 52 [7]

If the ice absorbed 350,000 joules in 5 minutes, then it absorbed energy
at the rate of

(350,000 joules) / (5 x 60 seconds) = 1,166-2/3 watts .

Surely the ice cube didn't absorb every joule delivered to the cooking chamber,
so the microwave oven's cooking power had to be significantly more than that.

The law of reflection establishes a definite relationship between the angle of incidence of a light ray striking the boundary be

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence = the angle of reflection.

Explanation:

Reflection is the phenomenon that occurs when a ray of light hits the boundary between two media and it is reflected back into the first medium.

In such a situation, we call:

- angle of incidence: it is the angle between the direction of the incident ray and the normal to the surface

- angle of reflection: it is the angle between the direction of the reflected ray and the normal to the surface

There is a precise relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection. In fact, the Law of Reflection states that:

- The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the surface all lie within the same plane

- The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

Use the techniques to find the unit for speed

stellarik [79]

Answer:

The formula for speed is speed=distance

time

Explanation:

to work out what the units are for speed,you need to know the units for distance and time.In this example,distance is in metres(m) and time is in seconds (s) , so the units for speed is metre per second (m/s).
