The correct answer to the question is : B) Generator.

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.

All the power plants like thermal power plant, nuclear power plant and hydroelectric power plant use the same concept to produce electric energy.

Let us consider hydro power plant.

In hydro power plant, the water falling with high speed is allowed to fall on a turbine. The kinetic energy of the water rotates the turbine. The turbine is attached to a generator.

The coil of wire attached to it is rotated through a magnetic field and electricity is produced due to electromagnetic induction.

Hence, the correct answer to the question is generator which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Which two minerals are commercial sources of iron. explain why the answer is a?
vichka [17]

Answer:

Hematite and magnetite

Explanation:

Minerals such as Iron don’t occur alone due to its interaction with other elements. The Iron’s major source is usually through ores such as Hematite, Magnetite, limonite etc.

However Pure magnetite contains 72.4 percent iron and pure hematite contains 69.9 percent. They have the highest percentage of iron thereby making them the main sources.

A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet. Determine the amplitude and period of motion if the mass is initially relea
grandymaker [24]

A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet.

(a) Determine the amplitude and period of motion if the mass is initially released from a point 1 foot above the equilibrium position with an upward velocity of 6 ft/s.

(b) How many complete cycles will the mass have completed at the end of 4 seconds?

Answer:

A = 1.803 ft

Period = \frac{\pi}{2} seconds

8 cycles

Explanation:

A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet;

it implies that the mass (m) = \frac{w}{g}

m= \frac{32}{32}

= 1 slug

Also from Hooke's Law

2 k = 32

k = \frac{32}{2}

k = 16 lb/ft

Using the function:

\frac{d^2x}{dt} = - 16x\\\frac{d^2x}{dt} + 16x =0

x(0) = -1        (because of the initial position being above the equilibrium position)

x(0) = -6          ( as a result of upward velocity)

NOW, we have:

x(t)=c_1cos4t+c_2sin4t\\x^{'}(t) = 4(-c_1sin4t+c_2cos4t)

However;

x(0) = -1 means

-1 =c_1\\c_1 = -1

x(0) =-6 also implies that:

-6 =4(c_2)\\c_2 = - \frac{6}{4}

c_2 = -\frac{3}{2}

Hence, x(t) =-cos4t-\frac{3}{2} sin 4t

A = \sqrt{C_1^2+C_2^2}

A = \sqrt{(-1)^2+(\frac{3}{2})^2 }

A=\sqrt{\frac{13}{4} }

A= \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{13}

A = 1.803 ft

Period can be calculated as follows:

= \frac{2 \pi}{4}

= \frac{\pi}{2} seconds

How many complete cycles will the mass have completed at the end of 4 seconds?

At the end of 4 seconds, we have:

x* \frac{\pi}{2} = 4 \pi

x \pi = 8 \pi

x=8 cycles

When 224-nm light falls on a metal, the current through a photoelectric circuit is brought to zero at a stopping voltage of 1.84
OLga [1]

Answer:

3.71 eV

Explanation:

λ = Wavelength of light = 224 nm = 224 x 10⁻⁹ m

c = speed of electromagnetic wave = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

V₀ = stopping potential = 1.84 volts

W₀ = Work function of the metal = ?

Using the equation

\frac{hc}{\lambda } = eV_{o} + W_{o}

\frac{(6.63\times 10^{-34})(3\times 10^{8})}{224\times 10^{-9} } = (1.6\times 10^{-19})(1.84) + W_{o}

W_{o} = 5.94 x 10⁻¹⁹

W_{o} = 3.71 eV

How to convert acceleration to velocity.
Nana76 [90]

You can't. Velocity and acceleration measure two different things, so their units are incompatible. It's like asking, "How many meters does this book weigh?"

Maybe you mean "find" acceleration using given velocities, or a velocity function?
