Answer is: biomass.

Most often greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane. They come from burning multiple substances: coal, petroleum, natural gas.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) and energy (heat) is produced by combustion of fossil fuels, that energy is used for producing electricity (the heat energy of combustion is converted into mechanical energy).

For example, coal power plants use coal to heat water into steam, that steam than move a steam turbine, which generate electricity.

A) Geothermal
B) Hydroelectric
C)Biomass
D) Wind

I assume this is the four options you had, correct?

i think that biomass is the only one that would release the greenhouse gases. I once heard, it may not be true, that biomass has more co2 released than coal.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

(a) 135 kV

(b) The charge chould be moved to infinity

Explanation:

(a)

The potential at a distance of <em>r</em> from a point charge, <em>Q</em>, is given by

$V = -\dfrac{kQ}{r}$

where $k = 9\times 10^9 \text{ F/m}$

Difference in potential between the points is

$kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{0.2\text{ m}} -\left( -\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right] = \dfrac{kQ}{0.2\text{ m}} = \dfrac{9\times10^9\text{ F/m}\times3\times10^{-6}\text{ C}}{0.2\text{ m}}$

$PD = 135\times 10^3\text{ V} = 135\text{ kV}$

(b)

If this potential difference is increased by a factor of 2, then the new pd = 135 kV × 2 = 270 kV. Let the distance of the new location be <em>x</em>.

$270\times10^3 = kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{x}-\left(-\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right]$

$10 - \dfrac{1}{x} = \dfrac{270000}{9\times10^9\times3\times10^{-6}} = 10$

$\dfrac{1}{x} = 0$

$x = \infty$

The charge chould be moved to infinity

Why do you like the full moon ?

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

<h3>The Moon brings perspective. Observing the Moon, and I mean really looking – sitting comfortably, or lying down on a patch of grass and letting her light fill your eyes, it's easy to be reminded of how ancient and everlasting the celestial bodies are. When I do this, it always puts my life into perspective.</h3>

2. Suppose that a parallel-plate capacitor has circular plates with radius R = 30 mm and a plate separation of d = 5.0 mm. Suppo

seropon [69]

Answer:

The maximum value of the induced magnetic field is $2.901\times10^{-13}\ T$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of plate = 30 mm

Separation = 5.0 mm

Frequency = 60 Hz

Suppose the maximum potential difference is 100 V and r= 130 mm.

We need to calculate the angular frequency

Using formula of angular frequency

$\omega=2\pi f$

Put the value into the formula

$\omega=2\times\pi\times60$

$\omega=376.9\ rad/s$

When r>R, the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the r.

We need to calculate the maximum value of the induced magnetic field that occurs at r = R

Using formula of magnetic filed

$B_{max}=\dfrac{\mu_{0}\epsilon_{0}R^2\timesV_{max}\times\omega}{2rd}$

Where, R = radius of plate

d = plate separation

V = voltage

Put the value into the formula

$B_{max}=\dfrac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times8.85\times10^{-12}\times(30\times10^{-3})^2\times100\times376.9}{2\times130\times10^{-3}\times5.0\times10^{-3}}$

$B_{max}=2.901\times10^{-13}\ T$

Hence, The maximum value of the induced magnetic field is $2.901\times10^{-13}\ T$ .

Why are ionic solids poor conductors of electricity? The lattice is brittle. The ions are neutral. The ions are of equal but opp

sveta [45]

The ions are in fixed positions.

Explanation:

Ionic solids are poor conductors of electricity because their ions are fixed in position. Their ions are not free to move about. They are fixed in crystal lattices.

For the conduction of electricity, compounds must possess free mobile electrons and moving ions in solution.
Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between a metallic and non-metallic ion.
They actually contain ions but their ions are locked up.
They are not free to move about.
Electrical conduction involves ion mobility.
In molten and aqueous forms, they are able to conduct electricity because their ions are then mobile.
