Answer:
C. Chemical energy
Explanation:
The different types of energy listed in this question are:
A) Electrical energy: it is the energy related to the flow of electrical charges (current)
B) Nuclear energy: it is the energy contained in the nuclei of the atoms, and released during nuclear reactions
C) Chemical energy: it is the energy contained in the bonds between molecules, and it is released during chemical reactions
D) Thermal energy: it is the energy associated with the motion of molecules
Photosynthesis is the process that plants use to transform the light energy (coming from the Sun) into chemical energy. In fact, in this process, plants absorb CO2 (from the atmosphere) and solar energy (from the light), and they convert them into sugars (glucose) and oxygen. Therefore, the initial energy coming as solar energy is converted into energy of the bonds of the molecules of glucose (so, chemical energy).
So, the correct option is C).
Answer:
The speed of the riders on the Singapore Flyer is approximately 0.262 m/s
Explanation:
The dimensions of the tallest Ferris wheel in the world are;
The diameter of the Ferris wheel, D = 150 m
The tine it takes the Ferris wheel to make a full circle, T = 30 minutes = 30 min × 60 s/min = 1,800 seconds
The angular velocity of the Ferris wheel, ω = 2·π/T
The linear velocity of the Ferris wheel, v = r·ω = The speed of the riders
Where;
r = The radius of the Ferris wheel = D/2
D = 150 m
∴ r = 150 m/2 = 75 m
∴ v = r·2·π/T
∴ v = 75 m × 2 × π/(1,800 s) ≈ 0.262 m/s
The speed of the riders on the Singapore Flyer, v ≈ 0.262 m/s
<span>b. less climatic variation between the summer and winter seasons in the middle and high latitudes
As the tilt becomes higher (approaches 24 degrees) there is greater variation between the summer and winter months, due to the fact that the tilt toward the sun in the summer and away from the sun in the winter are more pronounced. </span>
Answer:
B
Explanation:
<em>A. His speed is 0 m/s
</em>
<em>B. His velocity is 12 m/s
</em>
<em>C. His velocity is 0 m/s
</em>
<em>D. His acceleration is 12 m/s</em>
Total distance traveled by John = 120 + 120 = 240 meters
Total time taken by John to cover the distance = 10 + 10 = 20 s
<em>Average speed of John = total distance traveled/total time taken</em>
= 240/20 = 12 m/s
Hence, the average speed/velocity of John throughout the journey is 12 m/s.
The correct option is B.
