Answer:
c)wind
Explanation:
Wind from the given choices will have the greatest amount of kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion of a body. It is different from the energy at rest in a body.
- Wind is air in motion.
- Wind energy is a form of kinetic energy in motion.
A book on a table, a slice of pizza and a person at the top of the stairs are all at rest and will possess potential energy.
Answer:
1.7% is stored in the polar icecaps, glaciers, and permanent snow
Explanation:
70% of the Earth's surface is covered with water; However, only a small percentage, 0.025%, is suitable for human consumption. A limited resource whose demand, according to the forecasts of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), will skyrocket up to 55% globally between 2000 and 2050.
In the attached infographic we observe that the total volume of water on Earth is 1,386 million cubic kilometers, of which<em> </em><u>1.7% is forming polar ice, cap glaciers and permanent snow</u>. 1,338 million cubic kilometers of that water is in seas and oceans, that is, 96.5% is in seas and oceans, that is, it is salt water that cannot be drunk.
Only 3.5% of the Earth's water is fresh, but of this percentage, only 1% of the Earth's fresh water flows through the river basins in the form of streams and rivers.
Treatment water from the plant would affects the communities present in the downstream of the river.
Answer: Option (a)
<u>Explanation:</u>
Wastewater treatment plant is a process used to treat the water that flows from the rivers, streams, and lakes.This plant removes the dust, sand, sediments present in the river water.
When this treated water is released into the downriver stream, it affects the health of aquatic organisms present in that stream.Use of chemicals in treating the wastewater may cause genetic problems to the communities present in that region.
It also causes air pollution and more energy is needed for the treatment process and thus affects the ecosystem.
Answer:
The final temperature of both objects is 400 K
Explanation:
The quantity of heat transferred per unit mass is given by;
Q = cΔT
where;
c is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the change in temperature
The heat transferred by the object A per unit mass is given by;
Q(A) = caΔT
where;
ca is the specific heat capacity of object A
The heat transferred by the object B per unit mass is given by;
Q(B) = cbΔT
where;
cb is the specific heat capacity of object B
The heat lost by object B is equal to heat gained by object A
Q(A) = -Q(B)
But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A
The final temperature of the two objects is given by
But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A
Therefore, the final temperature of both objects is 400 K.
