A power plant burns fuel to convert water to steam. During the process, 83% of the heat produced is transferred. Of the heat carried by the steam, 40% is converted to the mechanical energy of the spinning turbine. Which best describes the overall efficiency of the heat-to-work conversion in the plant

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: [tex]33.2\%[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

83% heat is transferred and out of this, only 40% is converted to the mechanical energy of spinning turbine.

The overall efficiency is the product of all the efficiency i.e.

[tex]\eta_t=0.83\times 0.4\\\eta_t=0.332\ \text{or}\ 33.2\%[/tex]

The length of a planet's day is determined by it's

Answers

Answer: "People will say the length of a day is determined by just the rotation rate of a planet, but that isn’t entirely true. The orbit around its sun also factors in. What we define as a day is the time between when the Sun is highest in the sky until the next time the Sun is at the highest point in the sky. This isn’t just the time it takes the Earth to rotate once on its axis, though. This is because, as the Earth is rotating, it’s also moving relative to the Sun"

How does a circuit breaker protect a refrigerator?

Answers

Answer:

When the circuit breaker trips and turns off, it can shut off power to the appliance. This not only protects your home from damage, but it also protects the appliance itself.

Explanation:

What is a circuit breaker. A circuit breaker is an electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent/overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to interrupt current flow after protective relays detect a fault.

Suppose you have 10 helium-filled party balloons tied to a digital camera, so you can take photos of the core of a storm. With 10 balloons the camera will slowly but surely rise. As a storm approaches the atmospheric pressure drops. Assuming the air temperature and density are the same, the volume of each balloon will increase. When you let go, the speed of ascent will be

Answers

Answer:

 a = 10 ρ_air g [tex]\frac{\Delta P}{m P_o}[/tex]

Explanation:

Let's solve this problem in parts, with the initial data the camera rises slowly, so we can assume that at constant speed, we apply the equilibrium condition

         B - W = 0

The thrust is given by Archimedes' law

         B = rho_aire g V_body

The volume of the body can be found from the ideal gas ratio

         P V = n R T

let's use the subscript "o" for the initial concisions

         V₀ = (nR) T₀/P₀               1

we substitute

          10 ρ_air g (nR) T₀ /P₀ = W

when the storm approaches the pressure decreases, P

       

If we use the ideal gas equation

           V = (nR) T₀ / P

we combine this equation with equation 1

            V = V₀P₀ / P

if we write the pressure

             P = P₀ -ΔP

             

we substitute

            V = [tex]\frac{V_oP_o}{P_o - \Delta P} =V_o \ ( 1 - \frac{\Delta P}{P_o} )^{-1}[/tex]

we expand serie  and eliminate higher order terms

            V = V₀ ([tex]1+ \frac{\Delta P}{Po}[/tex])

with this expression we can write the thrust

             B = B₀ + ΔB

               

Newton's second law for the new conditions is

             B - W = m a

             (B₀ + ΔB) - W = ma

              ΔB = m a

              a = ΔB / m

              a = 10 ρ_air g [tex]\frac{\Delta P}{m P_o}[/tex]

This is the initial acceleration of the camera

Usain bolt ran the 200m race within 19.19 seconds. Calculate the speed of Usain bolt during the race

Answers

Answer: [tex]10.42\ m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

Usain Bolt ran the race with a length [tex]200\ m[/tex]

Time is taken to complete it [tex]t=19.19\ s[/tex]

We know, [tex]\text{Distance}=\text{speed}\times \text{time}[/tex]

Insert the values

Answers

C) South

As we know that, north is considered as negative, and south as positive. Now, the charge on particle is negative; so, when we will release it, it will move towards the south.

In the scenario where the negatively charged particle is placed in a uniform electric field, the direction will be C. South.

What is an electric field?

It should be noted that an electric field simply means the physical field which surrounds electrically charged particles.

Since the negatively charged particle is placed in a uniform electric field directed from South to North, the direction that the particle move after it is released is South.

An object is to the left of a convex mirror. Describe the two rays needed to indicate the location and height of the image. Additionally, state what side of the mirror the image is on and whether it is real or virtual.

Answers

Answer:

1) a ray parallel to the optical axis that after passing through the lens passes through the focal length

2) a ray that passes through the center of curvature, this ray does not have any deviation

real image   d_{objet} > f

Explanation:

In geometric optics, you can find the position of the image by geometric method, we draw two rays

1) a ray parallel to the optical axis that after passing through the lens passes through the focal length

2) a ray that passes through the center of curvature, this ray does not have any deviation

3) a ray that passes through the focal length and when passing the lens comes out horizontally

The interceptor point is where the image is

To determine if the image is real or virtual, when the object is at a greater distance than the focal length, the image is real and when it is at a shorter distance, the image is virtual.

The virtual image is formed on the same side as the object

real image   d_{objet} > f

Ball 1 with an initial speed of 14 m/s has a perfectly elastic collision with ball 2 that is initially at rest. After, the speed of ball 2 is 21 m/s. What will be the speed of ball 2 if the initial speed of ball 1 is doubled

Answers

Answer:

"42 m/s" is the appropriate answer.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of Ball 1,

= 14 m/s

Now,

If the initial speed of ball 1 is doubled, then the speed of ball 2 will be:

⇒ [tex](V_{fx})_2=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}(v_1x_1)[/tex]

A 32.0 kg cart is at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The cart experiences an unbalaced force, causing the cart to accelarate at a rate of +5 m/s2.
Calculate the time it takes for the cart to travel 200 meters.

Answers

Answer:

t = 8.94 s

Explanation:

We will use the second equation of motion to calculate the time taken by the cart:

[tex]s = v_it + \frac{1}{2} at^2[/tex]

where,

s = distance = 200 m

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

t = time taken = ?

a = acceleration = 5 m/s²

Therefore,

[tex]200\ m = (0\ m/s)(t)+\frac{1}{2}(5\ m/s^2)t^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{(200\ m)(2)}{5\ m/s^2}\\\\t = \sqrt{80\ s^s}[/tex]

Two people are sitting on wheeled chairs 1 metre apart. Person A is holding a 2kg ball. Person A throws the ball to Person. What happens to person A? Explain.

a.) their chair stays still
b.) chair rolls backwards
c.) chair rolls forwards

Answers

Answer:

B - Person A's chair rolls backwards.

Explanation:

This can be seen simply through the Conservation of Momentum. When the ball is thrown to be, the ball's momentum(+m) is transfererd to B, so B's chair moves forward(think about it - it makes sense, doesn't it?), meaning A's chair moves backwards.

So, B.

Is there any difference between antimatter, dark matter, dark energy, and degenerate matter?

pakisagutan po need ko na yan ngayon

*answer this please*​

Answers

Explanation:

antimatter - counterpart of ordinary matter; identical in every way except for charge. Examples are positrons (counter to electrons) and antiprotons (counter to protons). Direct contact between matter and antimatter results in total annihilation accompanied by huge radiation output.

dark matter - hypothesized as the non-visible or not directly observable kind of matter that could explain some of the unusual behavior of stars and galaxies.

dark energy - hypothesized to be some kind of a repulsive force like anti-gravity that could explain the apparent accelerated rate of expansion of the universe.

degenerate matter - a very dense form of matter made up of fermions (like protons and neutrons) only. Some stars are believed to be made of degenerate matter.

Answer:

Yes. Although the names sound vague and almost fictional, the types of matter called antimatter, dark matter, dark energy, and degenerate matter are all different, specific entities that really exist in our universe. ... Antimatter is just regular matter with a few properties flipped, such as the electric charge.
