Free body diagrams are used to describe situations where several forces act on an object. Vector diagrams are used to resolve (break down) a single force into two forces acting at right angles to each other.

Which describes how a turbine works to produce energy for electricity? A. Energy from various energy sources, such as wind or fr
OLEGan [10]
The answer is A. Energy from <span>various energy sources, such as wind or from burning fossil fuels, is used to spin the blades of the turbine. The turbine then powers a generator, which produces electricity.

Works on simple principle of the turbine blades translation of energy sources causing the mechanical spin of the blades which is connected to a rotor which spins the main shaft of generator thus producing electricity.</span>

How does radiation transfer thermal energy from the Sun to Earth?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The thermal energy is carried by electromagnetic waves

Explanation:

There are three types of transfer of heat (thermal energy):

- Conduction: conduction occurs when two objects/two substances are in contact with each other. The heat is transferred from the hotter object to the colder object by the collisions between the molecules of the two mediums.

- Convection: convection occurs when a fluid is heated by an external source of heat. The part of the fluid closer to the heat source gets warmer, therefore it becomes less dense and it rises, and it is replaced by the colder part of the fluid, which is colder. Then, this part of fluid is heated as well, so it gets warmer, it rises, etc.. in a cycle.

- Radiation: radiation occurs when thermal energy is carried by electromagnetic waves. Since electromagnetic waves do not need a medium to propagate, this is the only method of heat transfer that can occur through a vacuum (so, in space as well).

Indeed, the Sun emits a lot of electromagnetic radiation, which travels through space and eventually reaches the Earth, heating it.

A 20 N unbalanced force causes an object to accelerate at 1.5 m/s2. What is the mass of the object?
kicyunya [14]

As per Newton's II law we know that

F = ma

here we know that

F = 20 N

a = 1.5 m/s^2

now the mass of the object will be given as

m = \frac{F}{a}

m = \frac{20}{1.5}

m = 13.3 kg

so mass of the object will be 13.3 kg
