You typing on your keyboard

Your pet running in the backyard

Waving your arm side to side

Basically, anything you do in motion is kinetic energy.

Have a great day! :)

If Earth was with no tilt, would we still have seasons at all? If so, how would they be different?

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

If earth had no tilt, we would have no seasons.

Explanation:

As stated in the answer, if the earth had no tilt we wouldn't have seasons. The earth all around the globe would maintain the same temperature,

And due to the no tilt it would also change our orbit to a bit larger slant, in January when we are at our closest to the sun we WOULD have a mini summer. For the North and South Pole, they would remain cold.

Solar evaporation ponds are shallow so that the sun can heat them up, causing the water to evaporate, which increases the salt c

ehidna [41]

Answer:

B. stearothermophilus and S. ruber

Explanation:

B. stearothermophilus and S. ruber

In solar evaporation ponds the temperature is higher and the salt concentration is also higher because of the water evaporated so sunder such extreme conditions this hybrid bacteria is capable of surviving. B. stearothermophilus is thermophilus bacteria which grows at high temperature and S. ruber is halophilic bacteria which grows in saline environment. So, these two bacteria best suited for the above hybrid condition.

A uniform thin wire is bent into a quarter-circle of radius a = 20.0 cm, and placed in the first quadrant. Determine the coordin

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

$r_{cm}=[12.73,12.73]cm$

Explanation:

The general equation to calculate the center of mass is:

$r_{cm}=1/M*\int\limits {r} \, dm$

Any differential of mass can be calculated as:

$dm = \lambda*a*d\theta$ Where "a" is the radius of the circle and λ is the linear density of the wire.

The linear density is given by:

$\lambda=M/L=M/(a*\pi/2)=\frac{2M}{a\pi}$

So, the differential of mass is:

$dm = \frac{2M}{a\pi}*a*d\theta$

$dm = \frac{2M}{\pi}*d\theta$

Now we proceed to calculate X and Y coordinates of the center of mass separately:

$X_{cm}=1/M*\int\limits^{\pi/2}_0 {a*cos\theta*2M/\pi} \, d\theta$

$Y_{cm}=1/M*\int\limits^{\pi/2}_0 {a*sin\theta*2M/\pi} \, d\theta$

Solving both integrals, we get:

$X_{cm}=2*a/\pi=12.73cm$

$Y_{cm}=2*a/\pi=12.73cm$

Therefore, the position of the center of mass is:

$r_{cm}=[12.73,12.73]cm$

An air compressor compresses 6 L of air at 120 kPa and 22°C to 1000 kPa and 400°C. Determine the flow work, in kJ/kg, required b

Mariana [72]

Answer:

The work flow required by the compressor = 100.67Kj/kg

Explanation:

The solution to this question is obtained from the energy balance where the initial and final specific internal energies and enthalpies are taken from A-17 table from the given temperatures using interpolation .

The work flow can be determined using the equation:

M1h1 + W = Mh2

U1 + P1alph1 + ◇U + Workflow = U2 + P2alpha2

Workflow = P2alpha2 - P1alpha1

Workflow = (h2 -U2) - (h1 - U1)

Workflow = ( 684.344 - 491.153) - ( 322.483 - 229.964)

Workflow = ( 193.191 - 92.519)Kj/kg

Workflow = 100.672Kj/kg
