Energy of fossil fuel is also derived from solar energy why​

Physics
1 answer:
zzz [600]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

All the energy in oil, gas, and coal originally came from the sun captured through photosynthesis. In the same way that we burn wood to release energy that trees capture from the sun, we burn fossil fuels to release the energy that ancient plants captured from the sun.

It took 1700 J of work to stretch a spring from its natural length of 2m to a length of 5m. Find the spring's force constant.
Alenkasestr [34]
The work to stretch a spring from its rest position is

               (1/2) (spring constant) (distance of the stretch)²

           E = 1/2 k x² .

You said it takes 1700 joules to stretch the spring 3 meters from its rest position, so we can write

                 1700 joules  =  1/2 k (3m)²

1 joule = 1 newton-meter

                 1700 N-m =  1/2 k  (3m)²

Multiply each side by 2:   3400 N-m  =  k · 9m²   

Divide each side by  9m²     k  =  3400 N-m / 9m²

                                                   =  (377 and 7/9)   newton per meter

A fuel pump sends gasoline from a car's fuel tank to the engine at a rate of 5.64 10-2 kg/s. the density of the gasoline is 735
Irina18 [472]
Given:
Gasoline pumping rate, R = 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s
Density of gasoline, D = 735 kg/m³
Radius of fuel line, r = 3.43 x 10⁻³ m

Calculate the cross sectional area of the fuel line.
A = πr² = π(3.43 x 10⁻³ m)² = 3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Let v =  speed of pumping the gasoline, m/s
Then the mass flow rate is 
M = AvD = (3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²)*(v m/s)*(735 kg/m³) = 0.027166v kg/s

The gasoline pumping rate is given as 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s, therefore
0.027166v = 0.0564
v = 2.076 m/s

Answer:  2.076 m/s
The gasoline moves through the fuel line at 2.076 m/s.

A spy in a speed boat is being chased down a river by government officials in a faster craft. Just as the officials’ boat pulls
babunello [35]

Answer:

They are 7.4m apart.

Explanation:

Here we have a parabolic motion problem. we need the time taken to land so:

Y=Yo+Vo*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2

considerating only the movement on Y axis:

0=4.6-(9.81)*t^2\\t=0.68s

Because we have a contant velocity motion on X axis:

xs=vs*t\\xs=17m/s*(0.68s)\\xs=11.6m

and

xg=vg*t\\xg=28m/s*(0.68s)\\xg=19m

the distance between them is given by:

d=|xg-xs|\\d=7.4m
