To generate clean energy the mayor my build the fooling type of energy plants:

wind farms

solar power plants

wave power plants

Explanation:

At the seaside there are winds all over the year and that can be transformed in electrical energy by a wind turbine. The mayor can build a on-shore wind farm (reduced consts) and may also build off-shore wind farms (but these have an increased cost).

The second option is to build solar power plants. It will be cost effective if the people in the town will install solar panels on the building roofs. In this way you decrease the costs with the transportation of electrical energy.

The third option is to install wave power plants which harvest energy from the sea waves. It is a rather new technology, in comparison with the other two, but the initial consts can be amortized over time.

All three options will provide clean energy.

Right now nuclear plants have a very expensive initial costs and they may not be afforded by small towns.

A child is holding a wagon from rolling straight back down in a driveway that inclined at 20 degree horizontal. if the wagon wei
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

F = 51.3°

Explanation:

The component of weight parallel to the inclined plane must be responsible for the rolling back motion of the car. Hence, the force required to be applied by the child must also be equal to that component of weight:

F = Parallel\ Component\ of\ Weight\ of\ Wagon= WSin\theta\\

where,

W = Weight of Wagon = 150 N

θ = Angle of Inclinition = 20°

Therefore,

F = (150\ N)Sin\ 20^o

<u>F = 51.3°</u>

A Neglecting air resistance, a ball projected straight upward so it remains in the air for 10 seconds needs an initial speed of
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The initial velocity is 50 m/s.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 10 sec

For first half,

We need to calculate the height

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2gh

h =\dfrac{v^2}{2g}....(I)

For second half,

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

h =ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_{2}^2

h=0+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_{2}^2

t_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}}

Put the value of h from equation (I)

t_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times v^2}{g^2}}

t_{2}=\dfrac{v}{g}

According to question,

t_{1}+t_{2}=10

t_{1}=t_{2}

Put the value of t₁ and t₂

\dfrac{v}{g}+\dfrac{v}{g}=10

\dfrac{2v}{g}=10

v=\dfrac{10\times g}{2}

Here, g = 10

The initial velocity is

v=\dfrac{10\times10}{2}

v=50\ m/s

Hence, The initial velocity is 50 m/s.

A steam engine absorbs 4 x 105 J and expels 3.5 x 105 J in each cycle. What is its efficiency?
Wewaii [24]
Input heat, Qin = 4 x 10⁵ J
Output heat, Qout = 3.5 x 10⁵ J

From the first Law of thermodynamics, obtain useful work performed as
W = Qin  -  Qout
     = 0.5 x 10⁵ J

By definition, the efficiency is
η = W/Qin
   = 100*(0.5 x 10⁵/4 x 10⁵)
   = 12.5%

Answer: The efficiency is 12.5%

"4.What determines how many figures are significant in reported measurement values? What
MAXImum [283]

As the number of significant figures increases, the more accurate or precise the measurement is.

<h3>What is significant figure?</h3>

The term significant figures refers to the number of important single digits in the coefficient of an expression in scientific notation.

Significant figures are the digits in a value that are known with some degree of confidence.

The effect of reporting more or fewer figures or digits than are significant;

As the number of significant figures increases, the more accurate or precise the measurement is.

As precision of a measurement increases, so does the number of significant figures.

Four particles are in a 2-d plane with masses, x- and y- positions, and x- and y- velocities as given in the table below: what i
Arte-miy333 [17]
I attached the picture of the missing table.
Center of mass is the point such that if you apply force to it, the system would move without rotating.
We can use following formula to calculate the center of mass:
R=\frac{1}{M}\sum_{i=1}^{n=i}m_ir_i
Where M is the sum of the masses of all particles.
Part 1
To calculate the x coordinate of the center of mass we will use this formula:
R_x=\frac{1}{M}\sum_{i=1}^{n=i}m_ix_i
I will do all the calculations in the google sheet that I will share with you.
For the x coordinate of the center of mass we get:
R_x=0.96m
Part 2
To calculate the y coordinate of the center of mass we will use this formula:
R_y=\frac{1}{M}\sum_{i=1}^{n=i}m_iy_i
I will do all the calculations in the google sheet that I will share with you.
For the x coordinate of the center of mass we get:
R_y=-0.84m
Part 3
We will calculate speed along x and y-axis separately and then will add them together.
v_x=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n=i}m_iv_x_i}{M}
v_y=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n=i}m_iv_y_i}{M}
Total velocity is:
v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}
Once we calculate velocities we get:
v_x=-1.08\frac{m}{s}\\ v_y=-0.03\frac{m}{s}\\ v=\sqrt{(-1.08)^2+(-0.03)^2}=1.08\frac{m}{s}
Part 4
Because origin is left to our center of mass(please see the attached picture) placing fifth mass in the origin would move the center of mass to the left along the x-axis.
Part 5
If you place fifth mass in the center of the mass nothing would change. The center of mass would stay in the same place.
Here is the link to the spreadsheet:
