A Ford Taurus driven 12,000 miles a year will use about 650 gal of gasoline compared to a Ford Explorer that would use 850 gal.

About 19.8 lbm of CO2, which causes global warming, is released to the atmosphere when a gallon of gasoline is burned. Determine the extra amount of CO2 production a man is responsible for during a 5-year period if he trades in his Taurus for an Explorer.

Answer:

19 800 lbm of carbon dioxide more.

Explanation:

<u>Taurus</u>

Amount of gasoline used in 5 years = 650 ga/year * 5 years = 3250 ga

amount of carbon dioxide released = 19.8 lbm/ga * 3250 ga = 64 350 lbm

<u>Explorer</u>

Amount of gasoline used in 5 years = 850 ga/year * 5 years = 4250 ga

amount of carbon dioxide released = 19.8 lbm/ga * 4250 ga = 84 150 lbm

Extra amount of CO2 released = 84 150 lbm - 64 350 lbm = 19 800 lbm

If the retina is 1.7 cm from the lens in the eye, how large is the image on the retina of a person of height 1.5 m standing 9.0
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The image height is 0.00283 m or 0.283 cm and is inverted due to the negative sign

Explanation:

u = Object distance =  9 m

v = Image distance = 1.7 cm (as the image is forming on the retina)

h_u= Object height = 1.5 m

Magnification

m=-\frac{v}{u}=\frac{h_v}{h_u}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{v}{u}=\frac{h_v}{h_u}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{0.017}{9}=\frac{h_v}{1.5}\\\Rightarrow h_v=-0.00283\ m

The image height is 0.00283 m or 0.283 cm and is inverted due to the negative sign

Robert has just bought a new model roket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims
rewona [7]
At the peak of its flight ALL the energy given to the rocket is potential energy (its velocity is zero) and that is calculated as mgh So Energy given to rocket = mgh Energy expended by engine = F x D (D= height where engine stops) Energy 'lost' to drag is the difference between the two values. please if this helped mark it as the brainiest answer.
