Hey there!

In order to generate electricity from mechanical energy, one essential element needed to transform the energy into electrical energy is a magnet or magnetic field

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

D) a magnet or magnetic field.

Explanation:

Electricity can be generated from mechanical energy due to a phenomenon called electromagnetic induction.

This phenomenon occurs when the magnetic flux (due to the presence of a magnetic field) through an enclosed circuit is changed: when this happens, an electromotive force is induced in the circuit, and as a consequence, an electrical current is induced in the circuit.

This phenomenon can be produced in different ways; for example:

1- By rotating a coil in a fixed magnetic field --> by rotating the coil, the magnetic flux through the circuit changes over time, so a current is induced in the circuit

2- By varying the intensity of the magnetic field over time --> this way, the magnetic flux through the circuit changes as well

Number #1 is used in electrical generators to produce electrical energy from mechanical energy (kinetic energy): in fact, a coil is made rotating (so, kinetic energy) in a magnetic field, producing an electrical current (electrical energy). It is clear that an essential element of this system is the presence of a magnet or a magnetic field, so D) is the correct answer.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

The pressure is defined as the product of the density of the liquid by the gravitational acceleration by the height, and can be easily calculated by means of the following equation.

 P=Ro*g*h

where:

Ro = density of the fluid [kg/m³]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation [m]

In this way we can understand that the greater pressure is achieved by means of the height of the liquid, that is, as long as the fluid has more height, greater pressure will be achieved at the bottom.

Therefore in order of decreasing will be  

The largest pressure with the largest height of the liquid, container B. The next is obtained with container D, the next with container A and the lowest pressure with container C.  

The pressure decreases as we go from the container B - D - A - C
