Answer: it is C

The thermistor

Explanation:

 Thermistors (temperature-sensitive, or thermal, resistors) are used as temperature-measuring devices and in electrical circuits to compensate for temperature variations of other components. They are also used to measure radio-frequency power and radiant power, such as infrared and visible light.

To measure the intensity of the electromagnetic wave after knowing the frequency, we can calculate it by using fast fourier transformations (FFT).

He pictures show a grassy field that has been abandoned. Which best explains why this is an example of increasing entropy?
solmaris [256]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option D. Which is "Over time, the lawn has naturally become disorderly".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Entropy, the measure of a system's thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work.
  • It is also a measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system.
  • According to above definitions of entropy option D is correct.
  • <u>So entropy of system is randomness/disorder that is increasing with time in case of lawn.</u>

How do terrestrial and giant planets differ? List as many ways as you can think of.
Leni [432]

Answer: The differences between terrestrial planets and the giant planets are s follows-

  1. The inner planets namely Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the terrestrial planets, whereas the outer planets namely Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are known as the outer planets.
  2. Inner planets are composed mainly of silicate materials as well as some metals, whereas the giant planets are comprised of water (in different states) and gases such as Hydrogen and Helium.
  3. The density of the inner planets are more in comparison to the outer planets, where earth has the highest of about 5.5 gm/cm³ and Saturn has the lowest of about 0.7 gm/cm³.
  4. Due to the location of the inner planets near to the sun, they have high boiling point, whereas outer planets are much far from the sun so they have a low boiling point.

A heat pump has a coefficient of performance that is 60% of the Carnot heat pump coefficient of performance. The heat pump is us
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

T_C=118.8 K= 154.2°C

Explanation:

COP_max of carnot heat pump= \frac{T_{H} }{T_{H}-T_{C} }

where T_H and T_C are temperatures of hot and cold reservoirs

Also COP=\frac{Q_H}{W}

in the question COP= \frac{60}{100} \times COP_{max}

⇒\frac{Q_H}{W} =\frac{60}{100}\times\frac{T_H}{T_H-T_C}

heat is added directly to be as efficient as via heat pump

Q_H= W

and T_H= 24° C= 297 K

1=\frac{60}{100}\times \frac{297}{297-T_C}

on calculating the above equation we get

T_C=118.8 K

the outdoor temperature for efficient addition of heat to interior of home

T_C=118.8 K= 154.2°C

vector ????⃗ has a magnitude of 17.9 and its direction is 80∘ counter‑clockwise from the x- axis. what are the x- and y- compone
Reika [66]

We have vector (17.9*cos80^{0},17.9*sin80^{0})

Therefore,

x component = 17.9 * cos80 degree = 3.108

y component = 17.9 * sin80 degrees = 17.628

<h3>What is a vector?</h3>

An object with both magnitude and direction is referred to be a vector. A vector can be visualized geometrically as a directed line segment, with an arrow pointing in the direction and a length equal to the magnitude of the vector. The vector points in a direction from its tail to its head.

If the magnitude and direction of two vectors match, they are the same vector. This shows that if we move a vector to a different location without rotating it, the final vector will be the same as the initial vector. The vectors that denote force and velocity are two examples. The direction of force and velocity are both fixed. The size of the vector would represent the force's strength or the velocity's corresponding speed.
