Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Commercial aviation is responsible for 2% of global carbon emission. In the year 2009, the members of IATA (International Air Transport Association) had drawn a pledge to:

1. Halve the carbon emission due to aircraft by 2050, relative to emission of 2005

2. To make growth of industry carbon neutral by 2020

3. To cut CO₂ emission by 1.5% per year till 2020

To achieve these targets, a four pillar action plan was created.

The primary purpose of a switch in a circuit is to

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

A switch regulates the transparency and closeness of an electrical circuit. This enables the current flow of the circuit to be regulated (not even possible to reach it and manually sever the wires). Switches are important components of any circuit that involve an input system or control

Indigenous people sometimes cooked in watertight baskets by placing enough hot rocks into the water to bring it to a boil. What

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The rock has a mass of 4.02 kg

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the rock = TO BE DETERMINED

Temperature of the rock = 500 °C

Mass of the water =4.24 kg

⇒ loses 0.044kg as vapor

Initial temperature of the water = 29°C

Final temperature = 100°C

Specific heat of rock = 0.20 kcal/kg °C

Specific heat of water = 1kcal/kg°C

Latent heat of vaporization = 539 kcal/kg

Step 2: formules

Qlost,rock + Qgained,water = 0

Qtotal,water = Qwater +Qvapor

Step 3: Calculate Qvapor

Qvapor = mass of vapor * Latent heat of vapor

Qvapor = 0.044kg * 539 kcal/kg = 23.716 kcal

Step 4: Calculate Qwater

Qwater = mass of water * specific heat * Δtemperature

Qwater = 4.196 kg * 1kcal/kg°C *( 100-29)

Qwater = 297.916 kcal

Step 5: Calculate Qwater,total

Qwater,total = Qwater + Qvapor

Qwater,total = 23.716 kcal + 297.916 = 321.632 kcal

Step 6: Calculate Qrock

Qrock = mass of rock * specific heat rock * Δtemperature

Qrock = mass of rock * 0.20 kcal/kg°C * (100-500)

Qrock = mass of rock * -80 kcal/kg

Step 7: Calculate mass of rock

Qlost,rock + Qgained,water = 0

Qlost,rock = -Qgained,water

mass of rock * -80 kcal/kg = -321.632 kcal

mass of rock = 4.02 kg

The rock has a mass of 4.02 kg

Convert 56 kilometers to inches

svlad2 [7]

The conversion for km to inches is:

1km=39370.1in

Now we can solve for 56 km..

56km=39370.1*56
56km= 2204725.6in

Answer=2,204,725.6in
