The disadvantage will the family most likely face by making this switch is that solar power has a less reliable production of heat.Option A is correct.

<h3>What is a power plant?</h3>

A power plant is an industrial structure that generates electricity. The majority of power plants are linked to the electrical grid.

Nuclear power bare a form of the thermal power plant. You have a reactor where fission takes place and heat is generated, a heat exchanger that transports this heat to where it is needed.

Thermal power plant equipment converts this heat into electric energy, usually via a steam turbine.

The household will most likely experience a disadvantage from this decision in that solar power produces heat less consistently.

Hence option A is correct,

motorcycle accelerates from rest to a final velocity of 27 m/s in 9 seconds. What is its acceleration?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

3 m/s squared

Explanation:

The formula you use is Vf= Vi + at. You rearrange it to a= Vf - Vi/t. The Vf is 27m/s. The Vi is 0m/s and the t is 9s. Cross out Vi since it’s zero and you’re left with a= 27m/s divided by 9s, which equals 3

A mass spectrometer is being used to separate common oxygen-16 from the much rarer oxygen-18, taken from a sample of old glacial
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

0.092 m

Explanation:

A charged moving particle immersed in a region with magnetic field follows a circular trajectory at constant speed (uniform circular motion), since the magnetic forces acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particle.

Since the magnetic force acts as centripetal force, we can write:

qvB=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is its velocity

B is the strength of the magnetic field

m is the mass of the particle

r is the radius of the orbit

Solving the equation for r,

r=\frac{mv}{qB}

For the ion of oxygen-16, we have:

m_A=2.66\cdot 10^{-26}kg

q_A = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C (it is singly charged)

v_A=2.90\cdot 10^6 m/s

B_A=1.30 T

So the radius of its orbit is

r_A=\frac{m_A v_A}{q_A B_A}=\frac{(2.66\cdot 10^{-26})(2.90\cdot 10^6)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.30)}=0.371 m

For the ion of oxygen-18, we have:

m_B = \frac{18}{16}m_A = 2.99\cdot 10^{-26}kg

q_B = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C (it is singly charged)

v_B=2.90\cdot 10^6 m/s

B_B=1.30 T

So the radius of its orbit is

r_B=\frac{m_B v_B}{q_B B_B}=\frac{(2.99\cdot 10^{-26})(2.90\cdot 10^6)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.30)}=0.417 m

After each ion has travelled a semicircle, the separation between the two ions will be twice the difference in their radius, so:

d=2(r_B-r_A)=2(0.417-0.371)=0.092 m

What is superstring theory?
Stels [109]
Superstring theory is an attempt to explain all of the particles and fundamental forces of nature in one theory by modeling them as vibrations of tiny supersymmetric strings.

Plz answer this! I am stumped
Gwar [14]
MgCl2
Mg = magnesium
Cl = chlorine

Magnesium + chlorine = magnesium chloride.

This is because compounds are always written with the METAL FIRST and the NON METAL SECOND. the non metal ends in - ide when it reacts with a metal.

So ur answer would be magnesium chloride. :)
