Well, energy can be produced from the burning of fossil fuels which produce steam to spin turbines which generates electricity. But fossil fuels like coal and oil are no renewable.
Some renewable ways to get energy is water where they separate hydrogen from h2o because hydrogen can be made into energy. Also nuclear fission is another way to get energy. That's when in a nuclear power plant, the atoms nucleus is split which sends a large amount of energy.
Wind energy is another source of energy, which is from windmills. Another renewable energy source is solar energy. That's when u use solar cells, like some houses and calculators have, which generates a lot of energy, but only in the day since the sun doesn't shine in the nigh.

Hope I helped!!!

guapka [62]

Answer:

The two methods will yield different results as one is subject to experimental errors that us the Archimedes method of measurement, the the density measurement method will be more accurate

Explanation:

This is because the density method using the calculated volume will huve room for less errors that's occur in practical method i.e Archimedes method due to human error

Which requires more energy, making soup or making toast? Explain.

➪ Making toast requires more energy according to my knowledge because soup is liquid and in liquids the particles move freely and allows heat to transfer more quickly in it. Thus, Soup is made quicker and hence requires less energy whereas a toast (piece of bread) is solid and particles are tightly packed thus they need more energy to get cooked.

What are advantages of double glazed windows?

➪ Double glazed windows are air tight and are sealed properly. They cannot be broken easily which makes it more safe. Double glazed windows reduce the amount of moisture on your window panes, as the airtight seal prevents the condensation from building up. And no condensation means the house will be warmer.

When poor people are forced to sleep outdoors in cold weather, they sometimes use newspapers for blankets. What good is this? Why?

➪ They use newspapers because they have very minute holes in it which have air trapped and that trapped air is bad conductor of heat which does not allow the heat of body to flow outside and keeps them warm.

Why are loose fitting clothes more comfortable than the tight fitting clothes in hot climates?

➪ Loose-fitting clothes allow air to pass through and allows the heat of body to flow out which makes us feel cool whereas tight fitting clothes are touched with skin and does not allow the air to pass through the pores. Thus, making loose clothes more comfortable in hot climates.

How does a thermos flask keep food hot?

➪ A thermos flask does not have any pores or holes in the outer surfacs or inner surface which creates a vaccum inside the flask and does not allow heat to escape. Hence, keeping the food hot for very long time.

A simple hydraulic lift is made by fitting a piston attached to a handle into a 3.0-cm diameter cylinder. The cylinder is connec

Answer:

Approximately $3.1 \times 10^4 \; \rm N$ (assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is $g = 9.81\; \rm kg \cdot N^{-1}$ .)

Explanation:

Let $A_1$ denote the first piston's contact area with the fluid. Let $A_2$ denote the second piston's contact area with the fluid.

Similarly, let $F_1$ and $F_2$ denote the size of the force on the two pistons. Since the person is placing all her weight on the first piston:

$F_1 = W = m \cdot g = 50\; \rm kg \times 9.81 \; \rm kg \cdot N^{-1} =495\; \rm N$ .

Since both pistons fit into cylinders, the two contact surfaces must be circles. Keep in mind that the area of a square is equal to $\pi$ times its radius, squared:

$\displaystyle A_1 = \pi \times \left(\frac{1}{2} \times 3.0\right)^2 = 2.25\, \pi\;\rm cm^{2}$ .
$\displaystyle A_2 = \pi \times \left(\frac{1}{2} \times 24\right)^2 = 144\, \pi\;\rm cm^{2}$ .

By Pascal's Law, the pressure on the two pistons should be the same. Pressure is the size of normal force per unit area:

$\displaystyle P = \frac{F}{A}$ .

For the pressures on the two pistons to match:

$\displaystyle \frac{F_1}{A_1} = \frac{F_2}{A_2}$ .

$F_1$ , $A_1$ , and $A_2$ have all been found. The question is asking for $F_2$ . Rearrange this equation to obtain:

$\displaystyle F_2 = \frac{F_1}{A_1} \cdot A_2 = F_1 \cdot \frac{A_2}{A_1}$ .

Evaluate this expression to obtain the value of $F_2$ , which represents the force on the piston with the larger diameter:

$\begin{aligned}F_2 &= F_1 \cdot \frac{A_2}{A_1} \\ &= 495\; \rm N \times \frac{2.25\, \pi\; \rm cm^2}{144\, \pi \; \rm cm^2} \approx 3.1 \times 10^4\; \rm N\end{aligned}$ .
