Hello,

The energy stored in oil come from the sun. Describe how energy from the sun became stored in oil?

Well the way oil came to this earth is the fact that when the sun gave energy to plants because the energy was transferred fro the plant to the organism that eats the plant. When the organism billions of years ago ate the plants then died they would be decomposed into oil that we mine today.

Crude oil has parts of decomposed dinosaurs and plants from millions of years ago. When the sun gave energy to the plants for their growth, the dinasours ate them which is now is stored in the oil today. So the sun gave energy to plants, dinosaurs ate them, pasted away and decomposed, then we drill and use it as oil.

A swimming pool heater has to be able to raise the temperature of the 40 000 gallons of water in the pool by 10.0 C°.
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

b. 1 770 kWh

Explanation:

The heat needed to change the temperature of a certain amount of a substance is given by:

Q=mC\Delta T

Here m is the mass of the susbtance, C is the specific heat of the substance and \Delta T is the temperature change

Q=(40000*3.8kg)(4186\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^\circ C})(10^\circ C)\\Q=6.36*10^9J

Recall that one watt hour is equivalent to 1 watt (1 W) of power sustained for 1 hour. One watt is equal to 1 J/s. So, one watt hour is equal to 3600 J and one kilowatt hour is equal to 3600*10^3 J

Q=6.36*10^9J*\frac{1kW\cdot h}{3600*10^3J}\\Q=1766.66kW\cdot h

A 81 kg man is riding on a 40 kg cart traveling at a speed of 2.3 m/s. He jumps off with zero horizontal speed relative to the g
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

\Delta v= 4.66\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

In this case we have to use the Principle of conservation of Momentum:

<em>This principle says that in a system  the total momentum is constant if no external forces act in the system. The formula is:</em>

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2

<em>Where:</em>

m_1: Mass of the first object.

m_2: Mass of the second object.

v_1: Initial velocity of the first object.

v_2: Initial velocity of the second object.

u_1: Final velocity of the first object.

u_2: Final velocity of the second object.

In <u>this problem</u> we have:

m_1=81kg\\m_2=40kg\\v_1_2=2.3\frac{m}{s}

u_1=0\frac{m}{s}

Observation: v_1_2: Is because the system has the same initial velocity.

First we have to find u_2,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2

We can rewrite it as:

(m_1+m_2)v_1_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2

Replacing with the data:

(m_1+m_2)v_1_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2\\\\(81kg+40kg)2.3\frac{m}{s}=81kg(0\frac{m}{s})+40kg(u_2)\\\\(121kg)2.3\frac{m}{s}=40kg(u_2)\\\\\frac{(121kg)2.3\frac{m}{s}}{40kg}=u_2\\\\\frac{278.3}{40}\frac{m}{s}=u_2\\\\6.96\frac{m}{s}=u_2

We found the final velocity of the cart, but the problem asks for the resulting change in the cart speed, this means:

\Delta v=u_2-v_2\\\Delta v=6.96\frac{m}{s}-2.3\frac{m}{s}\\\Delta v= 4.66\frac{m}{s}

Then, the resulting change in the cart speed is:

\Delta v= 4.66\frac{m}{s}

Cathode-ray tubes produce images on the principle of induced emf. true or false?
yan [13]
The appropriate response is false. Cathode-beam ray does not deliver pictures on the guideline of instigated emf. The cathode-ray is a high-vacuum tube in which cathode beams deliver an iridescent picture on a fluorescent screen, utilized mostly in TVs and workstations.

Two identical loudspeakers 2.30 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Abby is standing (4.5^2 + 2.3^2)^1/2   from the far speaker

D2 = 5.05 m from the far speaker

The difference in distances from the speakers is

5.05 - 4.5 = .55 m     (Let y be wavelength, lambda)

n y = 4.5

(n + 1) y = 5.05 for the speakers to be in phase at smallest wavelength

y = .55 m          subtracting equations

f = v / y = 340 / .55 = 618 / sec     should be the smallest frequency
