Why is it important to develop alternative energy sources
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The alternative energy sources are defined as those resources that are used in place of the natural and non-renewable resources. This resources plays an important role in the conservation of natural resources.

The fossil fuels are the resources on which the people are directly dependent. Burning up of these fossils leads to the emission of carbon, which has a direct impact on earth. A small increase in the amount of carbon dioxide can lead to the increase in the surface temperature of earth.

In addition to this, these fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, oil and natural gases are found to be present in a limited proportion, and it is a very expensive process to obtain these resources, so sustainable development method must be adopted in order to save this natural resources for the future generation.

Some of the examples of alternative resources that are widely used in place of fossil fuels are wind energy, solar energy, tidal energy, biomass energy and bio-fuels.

Thus, it is very important to develop and use alternative resources.

You and a friend each carry a 15 kg suitcase up two flights of stairs, walking at a constant speed. Take each suitcase to be the
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Both of you did the same work but you expended more power.

Explanation:              

<em>Work done</em> by an object is calculated by force applied multiplied by the distance.

  W=F*d

From the figure given below let us calculate force applied bith you and yopur friend.

Let us take the stairs in positive x direction,

Work done by you W₁ ,

The force applied Fₓ = F - mgsinθ =maₓ

here aₓ = 0, because both of you move with constant speed

F - mgsinθ = 0

F=  mgsinθ

The work done by you on the suitcase is

W = F L cos0°  ,    where L is he length of the staircase.

W = FL = mgsinθL ,  by substituting value of F

Work done by you is W₁ = mgLsinθ

Similarly work done by your friend is W₂ = mgLsinθ.

Because both of you carry suitcase of same weight and in staircase is in same angle the force applied is same .

Therefore <em>work done by both of you is same</em> . Both of you did equal work.

The power , is defined as amount of energy converted or transfered per second or rate at which work is done .

P =\frac{W}{t} =\frac{FL}{t}

Power spend by you P₁ = mgLsinθ/t

P₁ = 15*9.8*Lsinθ/30

P₁ = 4.9L sinθ  eqn 1

Power spend by your friend is P₂ = mgLsinθ/t

P₂ =15*9.8*Lsinθ/60

P₂ = 2.45Lsinθ    eqn 2

Dividing eqn 1 and eqn 2

P₁ = 2P₂

You have spend more power than your friend .

Hence Both of you did equal work but you spend more power.

1. A perspex box has a 10 cm square base and contains water to a height of 10 cm. A piece of rock of mass 600g is lowered into t
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

(a) The volume of water is 100 cm³

(b) The volume of the rock is 20 cm³

(c) The density of the rock is 30 g/cm³

Explanation:

The given parameters of the perspex box are;

The area of the base of the box, A = 10 cm²

The initial level of water in the box, h₁ = 10 cm

The mass of the rock placed in the box, m = 600 g

The final level of water in the box, h₂ = 12 cm

(a) The volume of water in the box, 'V', is given as follows;

V = A × h₁

∴ The volume of water in the box, V = 10 cm² × 10 cm = 100 cm³

The volume of water in the box, V = 100 cm³

(b) When the rock is placed in the box the total volume, V_T, is given by the sum of the rock, V_r, and the  water, V, is given as follows;

V_T = V_r + V

V_T = A × h₂

∴ V_T = 10 cm² × 12 cm = 120 cm³

The total volume, V_T = 120 cm³

The volume of the rock, V_r = V_T - V

∴ V_r = 120 cm³ - 100 cm³ = 20 cm³

The volume of the rock, V_r = 20 cm³

(c) The density of the rock, ρ = (Mass of the rock, m)/(The volume of the rock)

∴ The density of the rock, ρ = 600 g/(20 cm³) = 30 g/cm³
