The mayor is making a good decision to do research into renewable forms of energy. Not only does coal produce pollution, it also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Plus, the supply of coal is a finite source. It is considered a natural resource instead of renewable. That means that eventually the supply of coal will run out at some point. Renewables do not encounter such a problem.
So it's smart to look into alternative forms of energy such as nuclear or solar. The benefit of nuclear is that it produces a lot of energy and does so efficiently. The downside is that it's that accidents would lead to disastrous outcomes (eg: the nuclear disaster in Japan). Also, there's the issue of what to do with the nuclear waste. The waste itself is very dangerous and it must be buried underground sealed in thick containers. This is an expensive operation. The rate of decay of the material takes a long time, which means that future generations hundreds of years down the line will have to deal with the waste.
Solar is a cleaner alternative to nuclear, but unfortunately it is not as efficient compared to nuclear power. You need a lot of solar panels in a vast open area to be able to get the energy to power many homes. Places out in the desert are a good choice to put the solar farms because the sun shines intensely there and not many people (or no people) live out in remote areas such as that one.
Because the town is called Seaside, it seems like this town is on the coast. If so, then the mayor should look into wind power to complement solar power. Wind along the coast is often very intense due to the sea current and jet stream. The downside to wind power is that some days the wind doesn't blow at all. The mayor could also look into tidal power which harnesses the flow of the tides coming in and out. If a major river is nearby (that flows into the ocean) then s/he could consider hydroelectric power as well. There are many renewable options to pick from. Each option has its pros and cons, so it's up to the mayor to weigh what exactly their needs are and how efficiently they want electricity. Mixing various options is possibly the best idea since you get a bit of each pro/con from all the options mentioned.

a car travels at a speed of 50 m/s for 13 seconds. what is the distance that the car travels?
Suppose a boat moves at 12.0m/s relative to the water. If the boat is in a river with the current directed east of 2.50m/s, what is the boat's speed relative to the groiund when it is heading (a) east, with the current, and (b) west, against the current?
Answer:
(a) 14.5 m/s
(b) 9.5 m/s
Explanation:
Let the speed of the boat in the still water (i.e relative to ground) is [tex]v_0[/tex].
Given that the speed of the boat relative to water, [tex]v_r=12.0[/tex] m/s.
Speed of the water current of the river relative to the ground, [tex]u_0=2.50[/tex] m/s towards east.
(a) When the boat is heading toward the east (in the same direction of the current of the river)
The relative velocity, [tex]v_r[/tex], of the boat with respect to ground is
[tex]v_r=v_0-u_0[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow 12=v_0-2.5[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow v_0=12+2.5=14.5[/tex] m/s
Hence, the boat's speed relative to the ground when it is heading east, with the current, is 14.5 m/s.
(b) When the boat is heading toward the west (in the opposite direction of the current of the river)
The relative velocity, [tex]v_r[/tex], of the boat with respect to ground is
[tex]v_r=v_0-(-u_0)[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow 12=v_0+2.5[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow v_0=12-2.5=9.5[/tex] m/s
Hence, the boat's speed relative to the ground when it is heading west, against the current, is 9.5 m/s.
23. A ball is dropped from 215m. How long will it take to reach the ground?
Answer:
6.6 s.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Height (h) = 215 m
Time (t) =..?
Thus, we can obtain the time taken for the ball to get to the ground by applying the following formula:
h = ½gt²
Where:
h is the height.
g is the acceleration due to gravity
t is the time to taken.
With the above formula, the time taken for the ball to get to the ground can be obtained as follow:
Height (h) = 215 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time (t) =..?
h = ½gt²
215 = ½ × 9.8 × t²
215 = 4.9 × t²
Divide both side by 4.9
215 / 4.9 = t²
Take the square root of both side.
t = √(215 / 4.9)
t = 6.6 s
Therefore, it will take 6.6 s for the ball to get to the ground.

car decelerates uniformly and comes to a stop after 10 s. The car's average velocity during deceleration was 50 km/h. What was the car's deceleration while slowing down?
Help!!!!
Answer:
[tex]a=-1.388\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Initial velocity of car, u = 50 km/h = 13.88 m/s
It stops, v = 0
Time, t = 10 s
We need to find the car's deceleration while slowing down. As the car is slowing down, it will have deceleration. It can be calculated as follows :
[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{0-13.88 }{10}\\\\a=-1.388\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the deceleration of the car is [tex]1.388\ m/s^2[/tex].

An object with a mass of 2kg accelerates 10m/s2 when an unknown force is applied to it, What is the amount of the force?
Answer: the awnser is 19k
Explanation:
Answer:
hope the answer helped you. pls mark as brainliest
Explanation:
Newton's second law states that the acceleration an object experiences due to a given force is inversely proportional to its mass, that is --
a=Fm
If the acceleration is 10m/s2 and the object's mass is 2kg , we can use Newton's second law to find that:
10m/s2=F2kg
F=20kg m/s2 , or 20N .

Answer:
c) more energy is trapped, which leads to an increase in Earth's global temperature
Explanation:
Greenhouse effect is caused by the trapping of the reflected energy from the surface of the earth into the atmosphere by some gases. Thus with time causes more energy to be trapped in the atmosphere, which cause an increase in the average ambient temperature of the earth. Because the energy could not escape out into space beyond the earth's atmosphere. Therefore, an increase in Earth's global temperature.

Dan steps on the brakes in his toy car which causes a braking force of 700 N to the left.
a) If Dan’s car weighs 750 N, then what is the mass of Dan’s car?
b) What is the acceleration of Dan’s car?
Answer:
76.53 kg; 9.15 m/s² left.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Weight of car = 750N
Applied force = 700N
a) To find mass
Weight can be defined as the force acting on a body or an object as a result of gravity.
Mathematically, [tex] Weight, W = mg[/tex]
We know acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s²
Substituting into the equation;
[tex] 750 = m*9.8[/tex]
[tex]Mass, m = \frac{750}{9.8}[/tex]
Mass, m = 76.53kg
b) To find the acceleration;
Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.
Mathematically, Force is;
[tex] F = ma[/tex]
Where;
F represents force.m represents the mass of an object.a represents acceleration.Making acceleration (a) the subject, we have;
[tex]Acceleration (a) = \frac{F}{m}[/tex]
Substituting into the equation;
[tex]Acceleration (a) = \frac{700}{76.53}[/tex]
Acceleration (a) = 9.15 m/s² left.
