What does the term “energy crisis” mean?

Physics
1 answer:
Zielflug [23.3K]4 years ago
5 0
An energy crisis<span> is any significant (bottleneck; logistics; or price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy. In popular literature, it often refers to one of the energy sources used at a certain time and place, in particular those that supply national electricity grids or those used as fuel in vehicles.</span>

A child on a swing falls a height of 1m. What speed will the child reach?
kirill [66]

Answer:v=4.42\ m/s

Explanation:

Given

Child falls a height of h=1\ m

Applying conservation of energy  we can write

Loss in Potential energy=Gain in kinetic energy

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1}

v=\sqrt{19.6}

v=4.42\ m/s

Thus child reaches a velocity of 4.42 m/s

A ball is tossed vertically upwards with a speed of 5.0 m s–1. After how many seconds will the ball return to its initial positi
mezya [45]

Answer:

1.02 seconds

Explanation:

Initial velocity = u = 5 m/s

t = Time taken

s = Displacement travelled = 0

a = Acceleration due to gravity = -9.81 m/s² (negative sign due to direction)

Equation of motion

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 0=5t+\frac{1}{2}-9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow 0=5t-4.905t^2\\\Rightarrow 0=t(5-4.905t)\\\Rightarro 0=5-4.905t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{-5}{-4.905}=1.02\ seconds

So, time taken to return to its initial position is 1.02 seconds

What is the relationship between the size of a predator population and the size of a prey population
Contact [7]
<span>Let's put it this way. Say you have a killer-whale and a penguin. Killer-whales are major predators to penguins. Now, say the killer-whale population increases. The penguins would be eaten more by the killer-whales, then causing a population decrease for the penguins. If the population decreases, they're won't be enough penguins, and they most likely will become extinct, as well as causing a population decrease for the killer-whales as well. Whereas, vis versa, they're were a killer-whale population decrease. The penguins would be less hunted, therefore, creating a population increase for the penguins.</span>
