The correct answer is - D. 1 percent.
The United States are the biggest consumer of electricity in the world. Because of that the United States are using multiple different sources in order to satisfy the demand for the electricity. The solar energy though accounts for only 1% of the total amount of produced electricity in the country and that is concerning. The biggest concern of course is the environmental one as the majority of the electricity is produced by sources that are polluting the environment. The other concern is that the United States are not using their potential in gaining more electricity from the solar radiation when taken in account that they have very large areas in the country that have a lot of intense solar radiation and clear skies throughout most of the year.
Answer:
d. 50 C
Explanation:
In this problem, we have to add 800 ml of water at 20 Celsius to 800 ml of water at 80 Celsius.
According to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, heat transfers from hot to cold temperature.
The quantity of both the different waters is equal so this makes it very easy. All we have to do is find the mean of both the temperatures:
Final temperature = (20 C + 80 C)/2
= 50 Celsius
Answer:
Melt.
Explanation:
When rocks melt, they do so slowly and gradually because most rocks are made of several minerals, which all have different melting points; moreover, the physical and chemical relationships controlling the melting are complex. As a rock melts, for example, its volume changes. When enough rock is melted, the small globules of melt link up and soften the rock.
Under normal conditions, mantle rock like peridotite shouldn't melt in the Earth's upper mantle. However, by adding water you can lower the melting point of the rock. Alternatively, by decompressing the rock, you can bring it to a pressure where the melting point is lower. In both cases, basalt magma will form and considering it is hotter and less dense than the surrounding rock, it will percolate towards the surface and some of that erupts.
Answer:
d. equal to one-fourth the acceleration at the surface of the asteroid.
Explanation:
The explanation is attached as a picture with this answer
Newton's law of universal gravitation is being used to compare the accelerations at the surface and at the top of the ball's path.
as it can be seen in the explanation that the proportional form of the equation is used because we do not need to necessarily use to final form with "G" for comparison calculations.
As per the given scenario only difference between the two points in the gravitational field is the distance from center of the spherical asteroid, i.e. r.
It is taken 2r for the top is the path. hence we obtain (1/4)g as our answer.
Our values can be defined like this,
The problem can be solved for part A, through the Work Theorem that says the following,
Where
KE = Kinetic energy,
Given things like that and replacing we have that the work is given by
W = Fd
and kinetic energy by
So,
Clearing F,
Replacing the values
B) The work done by the wall is zero since there was no displacement of the wall, that is d = 0.
