10. Almost three-quarters of household energy use is due to the following:

• home furnaces and air conditioners

• water heaters

• washers and dryers
• lighting

For each of these uses of energy, give two reasonable ways to reduce household
energy consumption

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Energy consumption and sustainability is important so that it remain available for future generation.

Explanation:

1. The home furnaces are likely to require fuel like coal, which will directly emit carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gases. These should be replaced with the electrical furnaces. The old or more power consuming air conditioners should be replaced with new ones.

2. The water heaters should be tankless so their capacity to heat more water could be possible. The water heaters should be electricity saving.

3. Washer and dryers should be water savy and electricity savy. A front-loading washing machine is useful energy saver.

4. The LED lights are more electricity saving than conventional bulbs. Halogen lights are also electricity saving.

Please Help! When drawing free-body diagrams, does the label "centripetal force" get used? Explain why.

Answers

Explanation:

No.  Centripetal force is a not a force itself, but rather a sum of forces.  From Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

∑F = m v²/r

So centripetal force does not get used on a free body diagram.

how much work must be done by frictional forces in slowing a 1000-kg car from 26.1 m/s to rest?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done by the frictional force is 3.41x10^5 J

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Initial velocity of car, u = 26.1 m/s

Finally, it comes to rest, v = 0

We have to find the work done by the frictional forces. Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy as per work - energy theorem i.e.

W = −340605 J

or Hence, the correct option is (a).

Boats use echo sounders. Pulses of sound waves are reflected by the sea bed and
detected by a sensitive microphone. The time between an echo sounder sending and
receiving a pulse is 0.005 s. The device calculates the depth of the sea, using the speed
of sound in sea water, which is 1500 m/s.
Use this information to calculate the depth of the sea. Show your working.

Answers

Answer: depth = 3.75 m

Explanation:

Taken the speed of the sound in sea to be V = 1500 m/s

The time between an echo sounder sending and receiving a pulse is 0.005 s. That is,

Total time T = 0.005

Formula for echo is:

V = 2X/T

Where X = distance covered

Substitute V and T into the formula

1500 = 2X/0.005

Cross multiply

7.5 = 2X

Make X the subject of formula

X = 7.5/2

X = 3.75 m

Therefore, the depth of the sea is 3.75 m

Together, two students exert a force of 825 N in pushing a car a distance of 35 m.
How much work do the students do on the car?

Answers

Answer:

28875 Joule

Explanation:

W = F * d

W = 825*35 = 28875 J

The work done by the students in pushing a car at a distance of 35 meters would be 28875 Joules.

What is work done?

The total amount of energy transferred when a force is applied to move an object through some distance

The work done is the multiplication of applied force with displacement.

Work Done = Force * Displacement

As given in the problem Together, two students exert a force of 825 Newtons in pushing a car at a distance of 35 meters, then we have to  find out the work done by the students,

The force exerted by the students = 825 Newtons

The distance moved by car = 35 meters

work done by students = 825×25

                                       =28875 Joules

Thus, the work done by the students would be 28875 Joules.

Do you think a population besides the moon jellies’ consumer population (sea turtles) and resource population (zooplankton) could have caused the moon jelly population to increase in size?

Answers

Answer:

I didn't quite understand your question, but the moon jelly population will increase if there are either more zooplankton or less sea turtles.

More zooplankton means more food => higher population

Less sea turtles means that the moon jelly will be lest often consumed => higher population

Answer: Yes because the Orca will start to eat the moon jellies

Explanation: When the Sea Turtles start to get very low on population the Moon jellies are next in line also the sea turtles eat the moon jellies and since they eat the moon jellies the sea turtle has a bit of that taste in them so they will taste alike to the sea turtles.

Answers

Answer:

19.1°C

Explanation:

If A and B mix to give 16°C, A has risen by 4°C and B has fallen by 3°C;

If B and C mix to give 23°C, B has risen by 3°C and C has fallen by 5°C;

This means the energy transfered to cause a change of 3°C in B causes a change of 4°C in A and 5°C in C;

We can use this as a ratio (4:5);

The temperature difference between A and C is 16°C;

we add the two parts of the ratio (4+5) to get 9 and divide the temperature difference to get 16/9;

Next we multiply this by one of the parts of the ratio, so with 4, you get 64/9;

This number is the proportional temperature change in A upon mixing;

We then add this to the original temperature of A to get the resultant temperature of the mix like so:

64/9 + 12 = 19.1111...

You can do this alternatively using the other part of the ratio;

We would multiply the 16/9 by the 5 instead of the 4 to get 80/9;

This number is the proportional change in temperature in C upon mixing

Then subtract this from this from the original temperature of C and you should get the same answer:

28 - 80/9 = 19.1111...

E
OA. B
OB.
С
OC.
D
OD. E

Answers

Answer:

A. B

Explanation:

The image has been attached.

Reflected ray refers to the ray of light which is reflected back after striking a surface that is non-permeable.

The ray of light which is reflected before the ray touches the surface is said to the incident ray.

According to the given image, ray B is the reflected ray. Ray B is reflected in the air after the ray A strikes at the surface of the water.

B

Explanation:

Since mirrors reflect things, when you shine light at a mirror, it will bounce off of the mirror, or reflect, and shine the opposite direction of where the original light is pointed. The answer would be B because light doesn't go through the mirror, or run along it.

Think of when you through a basketball on the ground. If you bounce it at an angle, it won't just come back to you in the same angle. It will keep bouncing at the same angle you through it. This is pretty much what describes the relationship between ray A and ray B.

A ___ force is not path-dependent and does not change the overall mechanical energy of an object.​

Answers

Answer:

conservative

Explanation:

Nonconservative force is the force that depends on a path, however conservative does not depend on a path and it is not associated with the potential energy. When the work is done by an unconservative force, mechanical energy is added or removed. Friction is the best example for a non-conservative force. When these non-conservative forces are acting, the mechanical energy changes but these are not preserved.

hope this helped!

Answer: conservative

Explanation:

A conservative force is not path-dependent and does not change the overall mechanical energy of an object.​

A conservative force is a force with the property that the total work done in moving a particle between two points is independent of the taken path, e.g. gravitational force or electric force.

A nonconservative force is one for which work depends on the path taken, e.g. frictional force.

How does the value of the electrostatic force vary with the value (how many) of the charges?

Answers

Answer:

Electrostatic force is directly proportional to the amount of charge on each body under consideration.

Electrostatic force increases with increase in charge.

Electrostatic force decreases with decrease in charge.

Explanation:

Electrostatic force is the force between 2 charges which can be explained by the Coulomb's Law:

F= K (q₁)(q₂)/r²

Where

F= Electrostatic Force

K = Constant of Proportionality

(q₁) and (q₂) = Amount of charge on each body

r = Distance between two bodies carrying charge

If the value of (q₁) or (q₂) is increased considering the other factors remain constant, the value of F will also increase.

And vice versa.

A mover uses a ramp to load a crate of nails onto a truck. The crate, which must be lifted 1.5 m from the street to the bed of the truck, is pushed along the length of the ramp. If the ramp is 4.5 m long and friction between the ramp and crate can be ignored, what is the mechanical advantage of the ramp?

Answers

Answer: M.A = 3

Explanation:

A ramp is an example of an inclined plain. Where the

Height H = 1.5 m

Length L = 4.5 m

Mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the load to effort. While mechanical advantage M.A of an inclined plain is the ratio of the length of the plain to the height of the plain.

M.A = L/H

Substitute the values of L and H into the formula

M.A = 4.5/1.5 = 3

The mechanical advantage of the ramp is 3
