Answer:

Nonrenewable energy

Explanation:

Renewable energy is also known as clean energy and it can be defined as a type of energy that are generated through natural sources or technology-based processes that are replenished constantly. Some examples of these natural sources are water (hydropower), wind (wind energy), sun (solar power), geothermal, biomass, waves etc.

Basically, a renewable energy source is sustainable and as such can not be exhausted.

On the other hand, a non-renewable energy refers to an energy source such as fossil fuels that takes a very long time to be created or their creation happened long ago and isn't likely to happen again e.g uranium.

For example, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, come from deep inside the Earth where they formed over millions of years ago.

In this scenario, the kind of energy the newspaper sources are talking about is a nonrenewable energy source because they are capable of being exhausted in the not-so-distant future.

A 950-kg car strikes a huge spring at a speed of 22m/s (fig. 11-54), compressing the spring 5.0m. (a) what is the spring stiffne
alukav5142 [94]

(a) The spring stiffness constant of the spring is 18,392 N/m.

(b) The time the car was in contact with the spring before it bounces off in the opposite direction is 0.23 s.

<h3>Kinetic energy of the car</h3>

The kinetic energy of the car is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂ x 950 x 22²

K.E = 229,900 J

<h3>Stiffness constant of the spring</h3>

The stiffness constant of the spring is calculated as follows;

K.E =  U = ¹/₂kx²

k = 2U/x²

k = (2 x 229,900)/(5)²

k = 18,392 N/m

<h3>Force exerted on the spring</h3>

F = kx

F = 18,392 x 5

F = 91,960 N

<h3>Time of impact</h3>

F = mv/t

t = mv/F

t = (950 x 22)/(91960)

t = 0.23 s

In springboard diving, the diver strides out to the end of the board, takes a jump onto its end, and uses the resultant spring-l
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

10.4 m/s

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the following SUVAT equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the diver in the problem, we have:

u=+6.3 m/s is the initial velocity (positive because it is upward)

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative because it is downward)

By substituting t = 1.7 s, we find the velocity when the diver reaches the water:

v=+6.3 + (-9.8)(1.7)=-10.4 m/s

And the negative sign means that the direction is downward: so, the speed is 10.4 m/s.

Very large forces are produced in joints when a person jumps from some height to the ground. Calculate the force produced if an
krok68 [10]

Answer:

A) 31 kJ

B)  1.92 KJ

C) 40 ,  2.48

Explanation:

weight of person ( m ) = 79 kg

height of jump ( h ) = 0.510 m

Compression of joint material ( d ) = 1.30 cm ≈  0.013 m

A) calculate the force

Fd = mgh

F = mgh / d

W = mg

F(net) = W + F  = mg ( 1 + \frac{h}{d} )

          =  79 * 9.81 ( 1 + (0.51 / 0.013) )

          = 774.99 ( 40.231 ) ≈ 31 KJ

B) calculate the force when the stopping distance = 0.345 m

d = 0.345 m

Fd = mgh  hence  F = mgh / d

F(net) = W + F  = mg ( 1 + \frac{h}{d} )

          =  79 * 9.81 ( 1 + (0.51 / 0.345) )

          = 774.99 ( 2.478 ) = 1.92 KJ

C) Ratio of force in part a with weight of person

=  31000 / ( 79 * 9.81 ) = 31000 / 774.99 = 40

  Ratio of force in part b with weight of person

= 1920 / 774.99 = 2.48
