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.

Air resistance is an example of what type of friction?

Sav [38]

Well, Air resistance is a special type of friction (you cannot classify it in other categories). That force of air-resistance is often observed to oppose the motion of the object,( like every other frictional forces)

Hope this helps!

A two-stage rocket moves in space at a constant velocity of +4300 m/s. The two stages are then separated by a small explosive ch

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

$v_{1f}$ = +3,394 103 m / s

Explanation:

We will solve this problem with the concept of the moment. Let's start by defining the system that is formed by the complete rocket before and after the explosions, bone with the two stages, for this system the moment is conserved.

The data they give is the mass of the first stage m1 = 2100 kg, the mass of the second stage m2 = 1160 kg and its final velocity v2f = +5940 m / s and the speed of the rocket before the explosion vo = +4300 m / s

The moment before the explosion

p₀ = (m₁ + m₂) v₀

After the explosion

pf = m₁ $v_{1f}$ + m₂ $v_{2f}$

p₀ = [texpv_{f}[/tex]

(m₁ + m₂) v₀ = m₁ $v_{1f}$ + m₂ $v_{2f}$

Let's calculate the final speed (v1f) of the first stage

$v_{1f}$ = ((m₁ + m₂) v₀ - m₂ $v_{2f}$ ) / m₁

$v_{1f}$ = ((2100 +1160) 4300 - 1160 5940) / 2100

$v_{1f}$ = (14,018 10 6 - 6,890 106) / 2100

$v_{1f}$ = 7,128 106/2100

$v_{1f}$ = +3,394 103 m / s

come the same direction of the final stage, but more slowly

A person travels by car from one city to another with different constant speeds between pair of cities. She drives for 36 min at

Softa [21]

Change minutes to hrs, divide by 60:
30 min = .50 hrs
45 min = .75 hrs
12 min = .20 hrs
----------------
total + 1.45 hrs, total travel time
:

let a = average speed for the trip
:
Write a dist equation, dist = speed * time
:
80(.5) + 100(.20) + 40(.75) = 1.45a
40 + 20 + 30 = 1.45a
90 = 1.45a
a =
a = 62.069 km/h, for the entire trip
and
90 km is the total distance

Alice and Tom dive from an overhang into the lake below. Tom simply drops straight down from the edge, but Alice takes a running

crimeas [40]

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

Alice launches with horizontal velocity $u=25\ m/s$

Tom simply drops straight down from the edge

Time taken by both the person is same as they have same initial vertical velocity i.e. zero so the time taken to reach the ground is zero.

Although Alice will travel more horizontal distance compared to Tom.

Thus option c is correct
