Answer:

The three major categories of energy for electricity generation are fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum), nuclear energy, and renewable energy sources. Most electricity is generated with steam turbines using fossil fuels, nuclear, biomass, geothermal, and solar thermal energy.

Name the physical quantity measured by the velocity-time graph?

VARVARA [1.3K]

The so-called "velocity-time" graph is actually a "speed-time" graph. At any point
on it, the 'x'-coordinate is a time, and the 'y'-coordinate is the speed at that time.

'Velocity' is a speed AND a direction. Without a direction, you do not have a velocity,
and these graphs never show the direction of the motion. It seems to me that it would be
pretty tough to draw a graph that shows the direction of motion at every instant of time,
so my take is that you'll never see a true "velocity-time" graph.

At best, it would need a second line on it, whose 'y'-coordinate referred to a second
axis, calibrated in angle and representing the 'bearing' or 'heading' of the motion at
each instant. The graph of uniform circular motion, for example, would have a straight
horizontal line for speed, and a 'sawtooth' wave for direction.

Match each example with the appropriate stage of technological design. drag each arrow to its correct match.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Review each answer in the explanation part

Explanation:

Identify a problem or need = Aerospace engineers need a lightweight material to build a jet

Note: Identify a problem is related always with a need.

After identify the problem the next stage is the design

Design a solution = Engineers determine what features the material must have.

Note: The design process implies the choice of the materials and the proper numeric calculations.

Implement the solution = Engineers test a carbon - plastic compound in a wind tunnel.

Note: after the design, the following process is the built of the equipment and the different tests.

Evaluate the solution = The carbon-plastic compound is redesigned to save maximun energy.

Note: After testing, you enter a part of re-design that means making improvements to the already constructed.

A boy throws a baseball onto a roof and it rolls back down and off the roof with a speed of 3.05 m/s. If the roof is pitched at

1) Time in the air: 0.78 s

The motion of the ball is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A horizontal motion with constant horizontal velocity

- A vertical motion with constant downward acceleration of

$g=-9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration of gravity)

The initial vertical velocity is

$u_y = u sin \theta = (3.05)(sin(-40^{\circ}))=-1.96 m/s$

where the negative sign means the direction is downward.

The vertical position of the ball is given by

$y(t) = h + u_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h = 4.50 m is the initial heigth of the ball when it starts falling down

The ball reaches the ground when y = 0, so we have:

$0 = 4.50 -1.96t-4.9t^2$

This is a second-order equation; solving for t, we get

t = -1.18 s

t = 0.78 s

We discard the negative solution since it has no physical meaning, so we can say that the ball spent 0.78 s in the air.

2) Horizontal distance: 1.83 m

For this second part of the problem, we just have to consider the horizontal motion of the ball.

As we said previously, the motion of the ball along the horizontal direction is a uniform motion with constant velocity, which is given by

$v_x = u cos \theta = (3.05)(cos (-40.0^{\circ}))=2.34 m/s$

where u = 3.05 m/s is the initial speed and $\theta$ the angle of projection.

For a uniform motion, we can use the following relationship between distance covered and velocity:

$d=v_x t$

and substituting t = 0.78 s, we find the total distance travelled along the horizontal direction by the ball before reaching the ground:

$d=(2.34)(0.78)=1.83 m$

Usually, when the temperture is increased l, what will happen to the ratevof dissolving?

pochemuha

When temperature is increased, the rate of dissolving increases. The kinetic energy of the molecules of the solute and solvent molecules is high thereby increasing their contact. An example is mixing powdered sugar to the water. When you add water to the sugar, the dissolving process is slow. However, when you increase the temperature of the water by boiling it, the sugar dissolves immediately.
