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.

A domestic water heater holds 189 L of water at 608C, 1 atm. Determine the exergy of the hot water, in kJ. To what elevation, in
Gekata [30.6K]

A.

The energy of the hot water is 482630400 J

Using Q = mcΔT where Q = energy of hot water, m = mass of water = ρV where ρ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³ and V = volume of water = 189 L = 0.189 m³,

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg-°C and ΔT = temperature change of water = T₂ - T₁ where T₂ = final temperature of water = 608 °C. If we assume the water was initially at 0°C, T₁ = 0 °C. So, the temperature change ΔT = 608 °C - 0 °C = 608 °C

Substituting the values of the variables into the  equation, we have

Q = mcΔT

Q = ρVcΔT

Q = 1000 kg/m³ × 0.189 m³ × 4200 J/kg-°C × 608 °C

Q = 482630400 J

So, the energy of the hot water is 482630400 J

B.

The elevation <u>the mass would have to be raised from zero elevation relative to the reference environment for its exergy to equal that of the hot water</u> is 49248 m.

Using the equation for gravitational potential energy ΔU = mgΔh where m = mass of object = 1000 kg, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and Δh = h - h' where h = required elevation and h' = zero level elevation = 0 m

Since the energy of the mass equal the energy of the hot water, ΔU = 482630400 J

So, ΔU = mgΔh

ΔU = mg(h - h')

making h subject of the formula, we have

h = h' + ΔU/mg

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

h = h' + ΔU/mg

h = 0 m + 482630400 J/(1000 kg × 9.8 m/s²)

h = 0 m + 482630400 J/(9800 kgm/s²)

h = 0 m + 49248 m

h = 49248 m

So, the elevation <u>the mass would have to be raised from zero elevation relative to the reference environment for its exergy to equal that of the hot water</u> is 49248 m.

a layer of sandstone is in contact with a mass of granite. the sandstone contains small fragments of the granite. which rock is
lara31 [8.8K]
The granite would be older. As millions of years go by, rocks are affected by weathering and erosion. These processes break down rocks and scatter them. Rocks are broken down into sediments, which mix with other layers, which could have been the reason how the layer of sandstone contains the small fragments of granite.

Explain why cooler stars are red and hotter stars are blue
sergey [27]
More cool stars produce much of their light in the red part of the spectrum, so you see them, and bam, the color red. More hot stars, however, produce much more of their light in the green and or yellow spectrums, with much more tinier amounts of red / blue. This balance of the colors, your eye, sees simply as white. The more hot something is, the greater frequency of radiation it produces! Blue light has a higher frequency than red light, so the stars that glow red are cooler, than the stars that glow blue. :)

Hope this helped!
