Answer:

0.03 A

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Resistor (R) = 470 Ω

Current (I) =?

From ohm's law, the voltage, current and resistor are related by the following formula:

Voltage = current × resistor

V = IR

With the above formula, we can obtain the current in the circuit as follow:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Resistor (R) = 470 Ω

Current (I) =?

V = IR

12 = I × 470

Divide both side by 470

I = 12 / 470

I = 0.03 A

Thus, the current in the circuit is 0.03 A

Bambi the young dear was distracted Buy butterfly and jumped into the road in front of the two vehicles as shown in the diagram

bagirrra123 [75]

Speed of car A is given as

$v_a = 70 mph$

now we need to convert it into SI units

1 miles = 1609 m

1 hour = 3600 s

now we have

$v_a = 70 *\frac{1609}{3600} = 31.3 m/s$

now its distance from Bambi is given as

$d_a = 350 m$

time taken by it to hit the Bambi

$t = \frac{d}{v}$

$t = \frac{350}{31.3}$

$t = 11.2 s$

Now other car is moving at speed 50 mph

so its speed in SI unit will be

$v_b = 50* \frac{1609}{3600}$

$v_b = 22.35 m/s$

now its distance from Bambi is given as

$d_b = 590 feet$

as we know that 1 feet = 0.3048 m

$d_b = 590*0.3048 = 179.83 m$

now the time to hit the other car is

$t_2 = \frac{179.83}{22.35}$

$t_b = 8.05 s$

So Car B will hit the Bambi first

Jake drops a book out of a window from a height of 10 meters. At what velocity does the book hit the ground?

user100 [1]

G = 9.81 m/sec^2) g = 9.81 $\frac{meters}{ second^{2} }$

Solving for velocity : 

$velocity^{2}$ = 2gh 
v = $2gh^{ \frac{1}{2} }$
v = (2 x 9.81 x 10)^1/2 
v = 196.2 m/sec (answer)

Alternative sources of energy include : geothermal

baherus [9]

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

The correct answer is option E (All of the above)

All the options are alternative source of energy.

The option given are not the traditional way (energy production from coal) of extracting energy as the loss of natural resources does not take place in these source of energy.

energy extracted from wind, solar light , hydrogen ,etc are the source of energy the alternative source of production of energy because do not exploit the natural resources, reduce the carbon emission and energy produced by them is clean energy.

A skateboarder is skating back and forth on the halfpipe as seen below. As he skates his energy transforms from potential energy

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Friction and air resistance cause some of his kinetic energy to be “lost”. This makes him slow down.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that in absence of frictional forces, the mechanical energy of an object (given by the sum of its kinetic and potential energy) is conserved. In such a situation, the skateboarder would never stop his motion, because potential energy is continuously converted into kinetic energy and vice-versa, but the total energy remains the same so he would never stop.

In a real world, however, this is not true. In fact, in a real world some frictional force are present, in particular:

- friction: this force is due to the contact between the skateboard and the surface of the halfpipe, and its direction is always opposite to the motion of the skateboarder

- Air resistance: this force is due to the resistance opposed by the molecules of air that the skateboarder meets during his motion, and its direction is also opposite to the motion of the skateboarder

This two forces are said to be non-conservative forces, which means that they cause some of the mechanical energy of the skateboarder to be "lost", in the sense that it is dissipated as heat and it is no longer available for the skateboarder.

Therefore, the correct option is

Friction and air resistance cause some of his kinetic energy to be “lost”. This makes him slow down.

Write a hypothesis about how the height of the cylinder affects the temperature of the water. Use the "if . . . then . . . becau

AnnyKZ [126]

The statement that can be used to answer this question is:

"If the cylinder is brought higher then, its temperature when brought down becomes higher because a greater amount of potential energy is converted to thermal energy."

The potential energy is converted to thermal energy when the object is released the velocity becomes higher because of the acceleration due to gravity.
