Answer:

Eighteen percent

Explanation:

Eighteen percent of all electricity in the US is sourced from renewable energy ,which includes solar , wind, and hydroelectric dam.

Hydroelectric power is currently the largest producer of renewable electricity in the US, generating around 6.5% of the nation's total electricity  as well as 45.71% of the total renewable electricity generation.The United States is the fourth largest producer of hydroelectricity in the world after China, Canada and Brazil.

One gram of Uranium averages release 1.01 KJ (10^7) of energy. How much mass could be converted to energy to release this much e
frutty [35]

Answer:

The amount of mass that needs to be converted to release that amount of energy is 1.122 X 10^{-7}  kg

Explanation:

From Albert Einstein's Energy equation, we can understand that mass can get converted to energy, using the formula

E= \Delta mc^{2}

where \Delta m = change in mass

c = speed of light = 3 \times 10 ^{8}m/s

Making m the subject of the formula, we can find the change in mass to be

\Delta m = \frac{E}{c^{2}}= \frac{1.01 \times 10^{3} \times 10^{7}}{(3 \times 10^{8})^{2}}= 1.122 \times 10 ^{-7}kg

There fore, the amount of mass that needs to be converted to release that amount of energy is 1.122 X 10 ^-7 kg

a spring gun initially compressed 2cm fires a 0.01kg dart straight up into the air. if the dart reaches a height it 5.5m determi
Vikki [24]

Answer:

2697.75N/m

Explanation:

Step one

This problem bothers on energy stored in a spring.

Step two

Given data

Compression x= 2cm

To meter = 2/100= 0.02m

Mass m= 0.01kg

Height h= 5.5m

K=?

Let us assume g= 9.81m/s²

Step three

According to the principle of conservation of energy

We know that the the energy stored in a spring is

E= 1/2kx²

1/2kx²= mgh

Making k subject of formula we have

kx²= 2mgh

k= 2mgh/x²

k= (2*0.01*9.81*5.5)/0.02²

k= 1.0791/0.0004

k= 2697.75N/m

Hence the spring constant k is 2697.75N/m

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion? (2 points) Every reaction is equal to the force applied. Forces are balanced when they ar
raketka [301]

Well, they're not quite the way Newton expressed it, but out of all this mess of statements, there are two that are correct AND come from Newton's 2nd Law of Motion:

<em>-- The smaller the mass of an object, the greater the acceleration of that object when a force is applied. </em>

<em>-- The greater the force applied, the greater the acceleration.</em>

For the <u><em>other </em></u>statements in the question:

-- <em>Every reaction is equal to the force applied.</em>  True; comes from Newton's <u><em>3rd</em></u> law of motion.

-- <em>Forces are balanced when they are equal and opposite.</em>  True; kind of a definition, not from Newton's laws of motion.

-- <em>An object at rest or in motion will remain at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. </em>  True; comes from Newton's <em><u>1st </u></em>law of motion.
