Answer:
1. In a coal-fired power plant, chemical energy is first converted to thermal energy. TRUE.
The chemical energy in the coal is converted to thermal energy when the coal is burnt to produce steam.
2. In a coal-fired power plant, approximately 2/5 of original energy in the coal is lost to heat. FALSE.
Approximately 3/5 of the original energy is lost not 2/5 so this statement is false.
3. The molecules in cold air move faster than in hot air. FALSE.
Molecules with more heat move faster than molecules with less. Molecules in cold air therefore, will move slower than molecules in hot air.
The answer is C I just took this quiz.
Answer:
Option C
80 years
Explanation:
<em>From Scientific records, the rate of movement of the plate is 0.025 meters</em>
Since the fault moves at the rate of 2 meters per year, to obtain the number of years it will takes to produce an earth quake, we will have to divide the rate of movement of the fault by the rate of movement of the plate.
Number of years for earthquake = 
= 80 years.
Hence, it will take 80 years to produce one big earthquake.
Answer:
286.7 m
Explanation:
So we are assuming the PE of the falcon is converted to KE
KE = PE
1/2 (.480)(75)^2 = .480 (9.81)(h ) solve for h = 286.7 m
Acceleration means you go faster
inertia means it has a tendency to do nothing or remain unchanged
gravity is what pulls things down to earth
<span>Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other.
so i would say friction</span>
