Explain how fossil fuel use in the US makes us vulnerable to the demands of foreign countries.

daser333 [38]

Well the US doesn't naturally have a lot of fossil fuels so we rely on other countries who do have fossil fuels. So if we aren't that friendly with Saudia Arabia (they have a bunch of oil) then they can hike up the prices or cut us off from their oil supply completely which would cripple the US severly. So with that being said, we NEED other countries, and the big question is when will they not NEED us. At any point in which they feel that they don't need us they can just cut us off, which would be bad.

Hope that helps :)

A girl (mass M) standing on the edge of a frictionless merry-go-round (radius R, rotational inertia I) that is not moving. She t

vladimir1956 [14]

a) $\omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2}$

b) $v=\frac{-mvR^2}{I+MR^2}$

Explanation:

a)

Since there are no external torques acting on the system, the total angular momentum must remain constant.

At the beginning, the merry-go-round and the girl are at rest, so the initial angular momentum is zero:

$L_1=0$

Later, after the girl throws the rock, the angular momentum will be:

$L_2=(I_M+I_g)\omega +L_r$

where:

$I$ is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round

$I_g=MR^2$ is the moment of inertia of the girl, where

M is the mass of the girl

R is the distance of the girl from the axis of rotation

$\omega$ is the angular speed of the merry-go-round and the girl

$L_r=mvR$ is the angular momentum of the rock, where

m is the mass of the rock

v is its velocity

Since the total angular momentum is conserved,

$L_1=L_2$

So we find:

$0=(I+I_g)\omega +mvR\\\omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2}$

And the negative sign indicates that the disk rotates in the direction opposite to the motion of the rock.

b)

The linear speed of a body in rotational motion is given by

$v=\omega r$

where

$\omega$ is the angular speed

r is the distance of the body from the axis of rotation

In this problem, for the girl, we have:

$\omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2}$ is the angular speed

$r=R$ is the distance of the girl from the axis of rotation

Therefore, her linear speed is:

$v=\omega R=\frac{-mvR^2}{I+MR^2}$

A bolt of lightning discharges 9.7 C in 8.9 x 10^-5 s. What is the average current during the discharge?

Anastaziya [24]

Answer: $1.089\times 10^5\ A$

Explanation:

Given

Charge discharged $Q=9.7\C$

time taken $t=8.9\times 10^{-5}\ s$

Current is given as rate of change of discharge i.e.

$\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{Q}{t}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{9.7}{8.9\times 10^{-5}}\\\\\Rightarrow I=1.089\times 10^5\ A$

Therefore, the average current is $1.089\times 10^5\ A$

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Kevin wants to make the firm private

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question in regards to the situation it seems that Kevin wants to make the firm private. Private Firms are companies that are owned by non-governmental entities or instead owned by a single individual or a very small amount of shareholders. Which is what Kevin seems to be wanting to do since he wants to buy back all the shares of the company so that only his family owns the company.
