Answer:

Wind farms, nuclear power plant, and hydroelectric power plants

Explanation:

Winds farms:

Pros: Creates electrical energy easily, doesn't cause pollution and no fossil fuels.

Cons: Only works in windy climates, hard to function.

Nuclear plants:

Pros:Creates electrical energy out of wastes, very easy and doesn't require fossil fuels.

Cons: Causes mass pollution, very harmful to the ecosystem and humans.

Hydroelectric plants:

Pros: uses only water and turbines, no fossil fuels either.

Cons: Water usage causes faster evaporation, most dams overuse them.

Which is a common way for a scientific calculator to show the number below? <br> 8.1 102
Elodia [21]
Answer: 8.1e+2 or 8.1E+2 (in the scientific notation mode), based on that the number given is 8.1 × 10².

Explanation


Scientific calculators use the letter e or E to show the numbers in scientific notation mode.

These are some examples of numbers that require scientific notation and how they are shown.

Number                 Scientific calculator display

6.022 × 10²³           6.022 e+23
5 × 10 -12              5 E -12

So, understanding that your question is about number 8.1 × 10², the scientific calculator could show  8e+2.

Nevertheless, since 8 .1 × 10² is 810, not a long number, if the display is not in scientific notation mode, it could just display just 810,

how much heat is released when 70.9g of water at 66C cools to 25C? The specific heat of water is 1 cal/gC
Serga [27]

Answer:

-12162.47 joules (or -12000 joules when accounting for significant figures)

Explanation (btw I used 1 cal as 4.184 joules because SI units are better):

q = m c delta T

q = (70.9) (4.184) (25 - 66)  

q = (70.9) (4.184) (-41)

q = -12162.47 joules

Which explains the information needed to calculate speed and velocity?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Both require time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance

Explanation:

For calculating speed we require time and distance because speed is defined as the distance per unit time and as speed is a scalar quantity it does not have any direction

But for calculating the velocity we require time as well as displacement because velocity is defined as the displacement per unit time and as velocity is a vector quantity it has direction

Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial position and the final position and it has a specified direction as well
