What does the term “energy crisis” mean?

Physics
1 answer:
Zielflug [23.3K]3 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>

Compare two processes we use to measure the age of Earth and its parts.
yan [13]

Answer:

Generally speaking, scientists have developed four different methods of determining the age of the earth. By using these methods, or a combination of them, the age of geological formations created by past events and even the fossilized bones of prehistoric animals can be determined.

Based on the research done by scientists, the Geologic Column, a graph that illustrates earth age, was developed. The Column, with its names for the epochs and eras of time, illustrates what scientists think was taking place in earth history. A small version of the Geologic Column is pictured at the right.

Explanation:

I hope this helps :)

Juan lives 100 m away from Bill.What is Juan's averege speed if he reaches Bill's home in 50 s?
Tom [10]
Juan lives a hundred miles away from Bill then the average speed that he reaches Bill's Home in 50 seconds means that Juan lives 50 seconds away from bill because 50 + 50 seconds equals 100 seconds so Juansorry my bad Juan lives 50 miles away from Belle but he probably how I must have run to get to bill in 50 seconds .

A huge tank of glycerine with a density of 1.260 g/cm3 is vertically stationed on a platform which is 15 m above the ground. The
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The tank is losing 4.976*10^{-4}  m^3/s

v_g = 19.81 \ m/s

Explanation:

According to the Bernoulli’s equation:

P_1 + 1 \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 + \rho gh_1 = P_2 +  \frac{1}{2}  \rho v_2^2 + \rho gh_2

We are being informed that both the tank and the hole is being exposed to air :

∴ P₁ = P₂

Also as the tank is voluminous ; we take the initial volume  v_1 ≅ 0 ;

then v_2 can be determined as:\sqrt{[2g (h_1- h_2)]

h₁ = 5 + 15 = 20 m;

h₂ = 15 m

v_2 = \sqrt{[2*9.81*(20 - 15)]

v_2 = \sqrt{[2*9.81*(5)]

v_2= 9.9 \ m/s  as it leaves the hole at the base.

radius r = d/2  = 4/2 = 2.0 mm

(a) From the law of continuity; its equation can be expressed as:

J = A_1v_2

J = πr²v_2    

J =\pi *(2*10^{-3})^{2}*9.9

J =1.244*10^{-4}  m^3/s

b)

How fast is the water from the hole moving just as it reaches the ground?

In order to determine that; we use the relation of the velocity from the equation of motion which says:

v² = u² + 2gh ₂

v² = 9.9² + 2×9.81×15

v² = 392.31

The velocity of how fast the water from the hole is moving just as it reaches the ground is : v_g = \sqrt{392.31}

v_g = 19.81 \ m/s

A student is trying to determine the acceleration of a feather as she drops it to the ground. if the student is looking to achie
Anna [14]

The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.

All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.

If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.
