Answer:

Fossil fuels have been used for centuries to generate power, but there are many disadvantages associated with their use:

Fossil fuels pollute the environment.

Fossil fuels are non-renewable and unsustainable.

Drilling for fossil fuels is a dangerous process.

find the time taken, if the speed of a train increased from 72 km/hr to 90 km/hr for 234 km. leave your answer in seconds

Airida [17]

Answer:

Time taken = 10400 s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the train, $u=72\textrm{ km/h}=72\times \frac{5}{18}=20\textrm{ m/s}$

Final speed of the train, $v=90\textrm{ km/h}=90\times \frac{5}{18}=25\textrm{ m/s}$

Displacement of the train, $S=234\textrm{ km}=234\times 1000=234000\textrm{ m}$

Using Newton's equation of motion,

$v - u = at\\a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

Now, using Newton's equation of motion for displacement,

$v^{2}-u^{2}=2aS$

Now, plug in the value of $a=\frac{v-u}{t}$ in the above equation. This gives,

$v^{2}-u^{2}=2\times \frac{v-u}{t}\times S\\(v+u)(v-u)=\frac{2(v-u)S}{t}\\t=\frac{2(v-u)S}{(v+u)(v-u)}\\t=\frac{2S}{v+u}$

Now, plug in 234000 m for $S$ , 25 m/s for $v$ and 20 m/s for $u$ . Solve for $t$ .

$t=\frac{2S}{v+u}\\t=\frac{2\times 234000}{25+20}\\t=\frac{468000}{45}=10400\textrm{ s}$

Therefore, the time taken by the train is 10400 s.

1. Most waves are caused by vibrations. What motion in a transmitting antenna causes the vibrations that produce radio waves?

morpeh [17]

The answer 1 is
The best-known use of radio waves is for communication; television, cellphones and radios all receive radio waves and convert them to mechanical vibrations in the speaker to create sound waves that can be heard.Electromagnetic radiation is transmitted inwaves or particles at different wavelengths and frequencies.

the answer 2 is

Radio Waves: Instant Communication
Microwaves: Data and Heat

i think the answer number 3 is
It is all about wavelength versus tunnel diameter. The wavelength of GPS is about 20cm it would happily propagate in any normal tunnel if it could get in but the earth and other structures absorb it. AM radio (600kHz - 1500kHz) cannot propagate in any normal tunnel because the wavelength is too long (500m-200m) relative to the diameter, and thus gets reflected at the entrance. FM (100MHz ~ 3m) would propagate and it does for a while but then it suffers reflections

Which best supports the idea that the surface of the moon has changed very little?

likoan [24]

The correct answer is<span> c) Because the moon has no atmosphere, it is not possible for geologic events to occur on the moon.

Atmosphere is related to geological change because of things such as wind and water erosion that over time change the landscape, and there's neither on the moon. It's just a floating rock.</span>
