I believe that solar energy would be the best energy for my town. Solar energy is advantageous because the sun is up every day, and because it takes up much less space than than some other sources of renewable energy. Some disadvantages of solar energy are that if there is cloud cover, hardly any energy will be gained at all. Another disadvantage is that it is a long term investment that can take a while for it to pay for itself.
Answer:
The artifact is 11,460 years old.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Given that,
The half life of the carbon-14 is 5730 years and we are left with 255 of the sample of wood from an arti-fact.
So it takes 5730 years for the sample to reduce into half
Initially there will be 100% of the sample so
after first 5730 years, the sample reduces into 50% percent
Now the left 50% sample will take another 5730 years to decay into half of its amount.
after next 5730 years the sample reduces into 25% percent
So totally after 2 half-life the sample reduces into 25%
That is (5730 +5730) years = 11460 years
I don't actually understand what your question is, but I'll dance around the subject
for a while, and hope that you get something out of it.
-- The effect of gravity is: There's a <em>pair</em> of forces, <em>in both directions</em>, between
every two masses.
-- The strength of the force depends on the <em>product</em> of the masses, so it doesn't matter whether there's a big one and a small one, or whether they're nearly equal.
It's the product that counts. Bigger product ==> stronger force, in direct proportion.
-- The strength of the forces also depends on the distance between the objects' centers. More distance => weaker force. Actually, (more distance)² ==> weaker force.
-- The forces are <em>equal in both directions</em>. Your weight on Earth is exactly equal to
the Earth's weight on you. You can prove that. Turn your bathroom scale face down
and stand on it. Now it's measuring the force that attracts the Earth toward you.
If you put a little mirror down under the numbers, you'll see that it's the same as
the force that attracts you toward the Earth when the scale is right-side-up.
-- When you (or a ball) are up on the roof and step off, the force of gravity that pulls
you (or the ball) toward the Earth causes you (or the ball) to accelerate (fall) toward the Earth.
Also, the force that attracts the Earth toward you (or the ball) causes the Earth to accelerate (fall) toward you (or the ball).
The forces are equal. But since the Earth has more mass than you have, you accelerate toward the Earth faster than the Earth accelerates toward you.
-- This works exactly the same for every pair of masses in the universe. Gravity
is everywhere. You can't turn it off, and you can't shield anything from it.
-- Sometimes you'll hear about some mysterious way to "defy gravity". It's not possible to 'defy' gravity, but since we know that it's there, we can work with it.
If we want to move something in the opposite direction from where gravity is pulling it, all we need to do is provide a force in that direction that's stronger than the force of gravity.
I know that sounds complicated, so here are a few examples of how we do it:
-- use arm-muscle force to pick a book UP off the table
-- use leg-muscle force to move your whole body UP the stairs
-- use buoyant force to LIFT a helium balloon or a hot-air balloon
-- use the force of air resistance to LIFT an airplane.
-- The weight of 1 kilogram of mass on or near the Earth is 9.8 newtons. (That's
about 2.205 pounds). The same kilogram of mass has different weights on other planets. Wherever it is, we only know one of the masses ... the kilogram. In order
to figure out what it weighs there, we need to know the mass of the planet, and
the distance between the kilogram and the center of the planet.
I hope I told you something that you were actually looking for.
Answer:
B. 
Explanation:
Assuming we are dealing with a perfect gas, we should use the perfect gas equation:

With T the temperature, V the volume, P the pressure, R the perfect gas constant and n the number of mol, we are going to use the subscripts i for the initial state when the gas has 20 cubic inches of volume and absolute pressure of 5 psi, and final state when the gas reaches 10 psi, so we have two equations:
(1)
(2)
Assuming the temperature and the number of moles remain constant (number of moles remain constant if we don't have a leak of gas) we should equate equations (1) and (2) because
,
and R is an universal constant:
, solving for 


Answer:
a= 0.22 m/s²
Explanation:
Given that
M = 3.5 kg
θ = 30°
m = 1 kg
μ= 0.3
The force due to gravity
F₁= M g sinθ
F₁=3.5 x 10 x sin 30
F₁= 17.5 N
F₂ = m g
F₂ = 1 x 10 = 10 N
The maximum value of the friction force on the incline plane
Fr = μ M g cosθ
Fr = 0.3 x 2.5 x 10 cos30°
Fr= 6.49 N
Lets take acceleration of the system is a m/s²
F₁ - F₂ - Fr = (M+m) a
17.5 - 10 - 6.49 = (3.5+1)a
a= 0.22 m/s²
