- A solar panel is pictured in the photo. When light shines on the panel, it generates an electric current that can be used to recharge the batteries in an electric car. What types of energy are involved in this setup?arrow_forwardScientific models do not describe reality. They are simplifications aid therefore incorrect at some level. So why are models useful?arrow_forward1.76 How does Gorilla Glass differ from more commonly found alumina silicate glass?arrow_forward
- A 500-mL bottle of Evian bottled water contains 12 mg magnesium. The recommended daily allowance of magnesium for adult women is 320 mg/day. Calculate how many 1-L bottles of Evian a woman would have to drink to obtain her total daily allowance of magnesium solely in this way.arrow_forward1. A friend claims that a metric ton is more than twice the mass of an English ton because a kilogram is more than twice the mass of a pound. Make a quantitative argument in support of or against your friend's claim. (1 page) 2. Upgraded U.S. fuel economy standards formalized in 2012 call for a 54.5 mile-per-galloon average for new cars and light trucks in 2025. A politician opposing this increase claims it will save "only a drop in the bucket" compared with the 2014 fleet average of about 23 mpg. Formulate a counterargument showing that the increase - once the entire fleet reaches 54.5 mpg - consumption rate from its 2014 value of about 375 million gallons per day. State any additional assumptions you make.arrow_forwardA 100.0-mL sample of a liquid is found to weigh 220.71 g. a. What would be the mass of 32.25 mL of the same alcohol? b. What volume would be occupied by 25.4 g of this alcohol?arrow_forward
