Time = (distance) / (speed)
<em></em>
Time = (450 km) / (100 m/s)
Time = (450,000 m) / (100 m/s)
Time = <em>4500 seconds </em>(that's 75 minutes)
Note:
This is about HALF the speed of the passenger jet you fly in when you go to visit Grandma for Christmas.
If the International Space Station flew at this speed, it would immediately go ker-PLUNK into the ocean.
The speed of the International Space Station in its orbit is more like 3,100 m/s, not 100 m/s.
Answer:
1.6 s
Explanation:
To find the time in which the potential difference of the inductor reaches 24V you use the following formula:
V_o: initial voltage = 60V
R: resistance = 24-Ω
L: inductance = 42H
V_L: final voltage = 24 V
You first use properties of the logarithms to get time t, next, replace the values of the parameter:
hence, after 1.6s the inductor will have a potential difference of 24V
Answer:
even if it all could be used, it wouldn't be enough
Explanation:
The land area of the US is about 5.45% of the world's area, so the amount of released heat over the area of the US is on the order of 2.4 Tw. Current technology for converting geothermal energy to electricity is about 12% efficient, so the available energy might amount to 0.29 Tw if it could all be captured.
Energy consumption in the US in 2019 was on the order of 0.46 Tw. This suggests that even if <em>all</em> of the thermal energy radiated by the Earth from the US could be turned to useful forms of energy, it would meet only about 60% of the US need for energy.
Answer:
An Atom's individual speed will change as it collides with other atoms, so we have to use an average.
Explanation:
In a gas a single atoms does an assortment of things during its time in the gas—sometimes it collides with an other atom gaining a lot of speed, sometimes losing a lot of speed in the collision, and sometimes just moving freely. Therefore: the motion of one individual atom is unpredictable, and it cannot be representative of all the the atoms in a gas, which is why we must average over all speeds of all atoms to find an average speed that allows us to calculate other quantities like temperature and pressure of the gas.
Hence, the second option <em>"an Atom's individual speed will change as it collides with other atoms, so we have to use an average" </em>stands correct.
