Answer:A generator is the appropriate device to be used.

Explanation:

A generator is a device which transforms mechanical energy to electrical energy.

The different parts of a generator includes:

- Engine, alternator, fuel system, voltage regulator, lubricating system, cooling and exhaust system, Battery charger and control panel.

The generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction which states that

that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.

Therefore, the use of a generator is the best device for the campers to provide electrical power source for their heaters and light in the cabin.

Why do we feel the effects of gravity given that the gravitational force is so weak?
almond37 [142]
Any two objects in the universe attract each other. Gravity is the force exerted by earth on you (you exert the same force on earth) but due to the fact that earth has a huge mass compared to yours, you will be attracted to earth only by a small gravitational force.

The United States spends over $20 billion a year on space exploration through NASA. Do you think that this has been worth the co
-BARSIC- [3]

Sunday, July 20, marked 45 years since the United States put the first two astronauts safely on the moon. The cost for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs was more than $25 billion at the time more like $110 billion in today’s world. The ensuing U.S. space efforts have cost an additional $196 billion for the shuttle and $50 billion for the space station. NASA’s total inflation-adjusted costs have been more than $900 billion since its creation in 1958 through 2014 (more than $16 billion per year). Looking back, have we gotten our money’s worth from the investment?

A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 15.5 m/s from the edge of a cliff 75.0 m high .
rjkz [21]

a) 2.64 s

We can solve this part of the problem by using the following SUVAT equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the displacement of the stone

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

We must be careful to the signs of s, u and a. Taking upward as positive direction, we have:

- s (displacement) negative, since it is downward: so s = -75.0 m

- u (initial velocity) positive, since it is upward: +15.5 m/s

- a (acceleration) negative, since it is downward: so a= g = -9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

Substituting into the equation,

-75.0 = 15.5 t -4.9t^2\\4.9t^2-15.5t-75.0 = 0

Solving the equation, we have two solutions: t = -5.80 s and t = 2.84 s. Since the negative solution has no physical meaning, the stone reaches the bottom of the cliff 2.64 s later.

b) 10.4 m/s

The speed of the stone when it reaches the bottom of the cliff can be calculated by using the equation:

v=u+at

where again, we must be careful to the signs of the various quantities:

- u (initial velocity) positive, since it is upward: +15.5 m/s

- a (acceleration) negative, since it is downward: so a = g = -9.8 m/s^2

Substituting t = 2.64 s, we find the final velocity of the stone:

v = 15.5 +(-9.8)(2.64)=-10.4 m/s

where the negative sign means that the velocity is downward: so the speed is 10.4 m/s.

c) 4.11 s

In this case, we can use again the equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the displacement of the package

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

We have:

s = -105 m (vertical displacement of the package, downward so negative)

u = +5.40 m/s (initial velocity of the package, which is the same as the helicopter, upward so positive)

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2

Substituting into the equation,

-105 = 5.40 t -4.9t^2\\4.9t^2 -5.40 t-105=0

Which gives two solutions: t = -5.21 s and t = 4.11 s. Again, we discard the first solution since it is negative, so the package reaches the ground after

t = 4.11 seconds.

<span>Chronological essays by the definition of a chronological meaning in order. There is an order in a specific writing. Like a history write up from a certain happening years ago.  It is different from procedural essays because these are essays who are giving instructions of certain set up to guide the person accordingly in doing something to make it more accurate. Like recipes, instructions in playing, etc. Example words that are used in chronological essays are first, second, third, fourth, fifth, next, after, then, lastly, finally, consequently, in addition, thus, therefore, however, etc.</span>
