One person drives 60,000 miles in a car that averages 30 miles per gallon (mpg), while another person drives 60,000 miles in a c

ar that averages 20 mpg. Over the course of the 60,000 miles, how many fewer pounds of CO2 are released by the 30 mpg car than by the 20 mpg car?

Answer:

20000 pounds

Explanation:

Generally 1 gallon of fuel burnt gives of 20 pounds of CO₂

Difference in the gallons of fuel burnt

\dfrac{60000}{20}-\dfrac{60000}{30}=1000\ gal

The 20 mpg car burns 1000 gallons of fuel more than the 30 mpg car

The amount of CO₂ would be

1000\times 20=20000\ pounds

The fewer pounds that the 30 mpg car would release is 20000 pounds

I need to explain how objects can have the same volume but different mass. Help??
kaheart [24]
No problem, and you already know all about it.

Here are a few examples of same volume / different weight:

-- A bottle full of water is heavier than the same bottle when it's full of air.
-- Stones are heavier than styrofoam chunks the same size.
-- A bowl of meat loaf is heavier than a bowl of scrambled eggs.

In each example, two things have the same volume, but one weighs more than
the other.  I didn't say anything about mass yet, but that's easy:  As long as you
keep everything on Earth, more weight means more mass.

So how come, in each example, things with the same volume have different mass ?
This was your original question.

The answer is just the simple fact that there are millions of different substances, and
each different substance packs a different amount of mass into the same volume.

The amount of mass that a substance packs into a standard volume is called
the <em>density</em> of the substance.  Meat loaf is more dense than scrambled eggs.
Stone is more dense than styrofoam.  Water is more dense than air.  And <em>gold</em>
is 19 times as dense as water.  If you have a jar that holds a pound of water, and
you pour out the water and fill the jar with gold, the same jar holds 19 pounds of gold,
because the density of gold is 19 times the density of water.

The reason you were assigned to think about this question for homework is that
next time your Physics class meets, you'll start talking about <em>Density. </em><em /> And you're
all ready for it now.

During a total lunar eclipse, the moon _____.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:  passes through Earth's shadow.

Explanation:

During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth lies between the Sun and the moon. All three are aligned in one straight line.

The moon does not have its own light. It reflects the sunlight. During total lunar eclipse, the earth comes between the sun and the moon and blocks the sunlight. Thus, the moon passes through the Earth's shadow and appears dark.
