Answer:

r=P/C, where P is the amount of useful output ("product") produced per the amount C ("cost") of resources consumed.

Explanation:

Efficiency is often measured as the ratio of useful output to total input, which can be expressed with the mathematical formula r=P/C, where P is the amount of useful output ("product") produced per the amount C ("cost") of resources consumed.

A car drives to the east in a time of 4 hours. Then, immediately (not realistic, but just assume this is the case for this probl

diamong [38]

Answer:

Average speed in east direction $speed=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{28}{4}=7km/hr$

Explanation:

We have given average speed of the entire trip = 5 km/hr

First the car 4 hours then travels 12 km in 4 hours

So total time of the trip = 4+4 = 8 hours

So total distance traveled in the trip $d=speed\times time = 5\times 8=40km$

As the car travel 12 km in 4 hours to the west

So distance traveled in 4 hour in east = 40 -12 = 28 km

Time in east direction = 4 hour

So average speed in east direction $speed=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{28}{4}=7km/hr$

A 2.30-kg cylindrical rod of length 2.00 m is suspended from a horizontal bar so it is free to swing about that end. a solid sph

Marina86 [1]

Solution:

initial sphere mvr = final sphere mvr + Iω
where I = mL²/3 = 2.3g * (2m)² / 3 = 3.07 kg·m²
0.25kg * (12.5 + 9.5)m/s * (4/5)2m = 3.07 kg·m² * ω
where: ω = 2.87 rad/s

So for the rod, initial E = KE = ½Iω² = ½ * 3.07kg·m² * (2.87rad/s)²
E = 12.64 J becomes PE = mgh, so
12.64 J = 2.3 kg * 9.8m/s² * h
h = 0.29 m

h = L(1 - cosΘ) → where here L is the distance to the CM
0.03m = 1m(1 - cosΘ) = 1m - 1m*cosΘ
Θ = arccos((1-0.29)/1) = 44.77 º

Planetary orbits... are spaced more closely together as they get further from the Sun. are evenly spaced throughout the solar sy

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

E) are almost circular, with low eccentricities.

Explanation:

Kepler's laws establish that:

All the planets revolve around the Sun in an elliptic orbit, with the Sun in one of the focus (Kepler's first law).

A planet describes equal areas in equal times (Kepler's second law).

The square of the period of a planet will be proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit (Kepler's third law).

$T^{2} = a^{3}$

Where T is the period of revolution and a is the semi-major axis.

Planets orbit around the Sun in an ellipse with the Sun in one of the focus. Because of that, it is not possible to the Sun to be at the center of the orbit, as the statement on option "C" says.

However, those orbits have low eccentricities (remember that an eccentricity = 0 corresponds to a circle)

In some moments of their orbit, planets will be closer to the Sun (known as perihelion). According with Kepler's second law to complete the same area in the same time, they have to speed up at their perihelion and slow down at their aphelion (point farther from the Sun in their orbit).

Therefore, option A and B can not be true.

In the celestial sphere, the path that the Sun moves in a period of a year is called ecliptic, and planets pass very closely to that path.
