A 0.495 kg bird pushes itself upward with a 7.28 N force. Including its weight, what is the total force acting on the bird? (Uni
Savatey [412]

Answer:

2.42 N

Explanation:

The total force is the upward 7.28 N force minus the weight.

7.28 N − (0.495 kg) (9.81 m/s²)

7.28 N − 4.86 N

2.42 N

Which part of a wind-powered system ultimately produces the electricity? A. nacelle B. blade C. turbine D. generator
djverab [1.8K]
<span>The correct answer is: (D) Generator

Explanation:
In wind-powered systems, the wind energy turns the blades around the rotor of a wind turbine. That rotor is connected to a generator that generates electricity. In other words, the kinectic energy of the wind is converted into electrical energy by using the generator in the wind-powered systems.</span>

An Isentropic process is an idealised process which is adiabatic and reversible (in thermodynamics). There is no transfer of hea
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

An isentropic process is one that does not change the entropy of the system. A reversible of the universe, and it is reversible because of that. Real processes increase the entropy of the universe, so trying to reverse them would decrease the entropy of the universe, which is impossible, so they are irreversible.

The Carnot cycle has 4 phases:

-Isotermal expansion of gas. In this process it takes heat from a hot source. It is a reversible process, but not isentropic.

-Adiabatic expansion. This one is isentropic, the entropy of the gas remains constant and it doesn't interact with the surroundings. The gas expands not by its own, but the machine makes it expand (it pulls on the gas). The gas cools down.

-Isotermal compression. Reversible but not adiabatic. The gas exchanges heat with the cold source, reducing its volume.

-Adiabatic compression. Adiabatic and isentropic. The machine compresses the gas, causing it to heat up.

PLAESE ANSWER FAST!!!!! MAKE SURE IT"S RIGHT
pychu [463]

(if you have Q1: Carbon is found in: living animals and plants, oceans, rocks, atmosphere, and fossil fuels)

Q2: Humans are burning carbon and putting it into the atmosphere.

Q3: True

Q4: While carbon dioxide is in the air waiting to be reabsorbed it traps the sun's heat.

(and if you have Q5: In the last 250 years, the amount of carbon in the air has increased by 40 percent.)
