Italian physicist Alessandro Volta discovered that particular chemical reactions could produce electricity, and in 1800 he constructed the voltaic pile (an early electric battery) that produced a steady electric current, and so he was the first person to create a steady flow of electrical charge.

What is inertia? Specifically, what is inertia in relation the the gravity properties of astronautical planets.
Sliva [168]

Inertia is the property of movement (properly velocity).

Inertia is most commonly referenced in connection to Newton's laws of motion, in that an object in motion stays in motion. This (normally, anyway) isn't true in everyday life, as forces like friction, gravity, et cetera, fight back causing velocity to be converted to heat. Objects to which this doesn't apply, like space probes, keep moving forever.

How is a ground wire a safety precaution
rjkz [21]
When the metal case of a piece of equipment is connected to ground through a ground wire, any fault current is conducted by the wire, rather than by someone who may touch the case.

How much total heat transfer is necessary to lower the temperature of 0.175 kg of steam from 125.5 °C to −19.5 °C, including the
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

The heat required to change the temperature of  steam from 125.5  °C to 100 °C is:

Q_1 = ms_{steam} (125.5^0C - 100^0C) \\ \\ Q_1 = 0.175 \ kg ( 1520 \ J/kg.K ) (25.5^0 \ C) \\ \\ Q_1 = 6783 \ J

The heat required to change the steam at 100°C to water at 100°C is;

Q_2 = mL_v \\ \\ Q_2 = (0.175 \ kg) (2.25*10^6 \ J/kg ) \\ \\ Q_2 = 393750 \ J

The heat required to change the temperature from 100°C to 0°C is

Q_3 = ms_{water} (100^) \ C) \\ \\ Q_3 = (0.175\ kg)(4186 \ J/kg.K) (100 ^0c ) \\ \\ Q_3 = 73255 \ J

The heat required to change the water at 0°C to ice at 0°C  is:

Q_4 = mL_f \\ \\ Q_4 = (0.175 \ kg)(3.34*10^5 \ J/kg) \\\\ Q_4 = 58450 \ J

The heat required to change the temperature of ice from 0°Cto -19.5°C is:

Q_5 = ms _{ice} (100^0 C) \\ \\ Q_5 = (0.175 \ kg)(2090 \ J/kg.K)(19.5^0C)  \\ \\ Q_5 = 7132.125 \ J

The total heat required to change the steam into ice is:

Q = Q_1 + Q_2 + Q_3 + Q_4 +Q_5 \\ \\Q = (6788+393750+73255+58450+7132.125)J \\ \\ Q = 539325.125 \ J \\ \\ Q = 5.39*10^5 \ J

b)

The time taken to convert steam from 125 °C to 100°C is:

t_1 = \frac{Q_1}{P} = \frac{6738 \ J}{835 \ W}  = 8.12 \ s

The time taken to convert steam at  100°C to water at  100°C is:

t_2 = \frac{Q_2}{P} =\frac{393750}{834} =471.56 \ s

The time taken to convert water to 100° C to 0° C is:

t_3 = \frac{Q_3}{P} =\frac{73255}{834} = 87.73 \ s

The time taken to convert water at 0° to ice at 0° C is :

t_4 = \frac{Q_4}{P} =\frac{58450}{834} = 70.08  \ s

The time taken to convert ice from 0° C to -19.5° C is:

t_5 = \frac{Q_5}{P} =\frac{7132.125}{834} = 8.55  \ s

Why is hydroelectric power considered to be an example of multiple transfers of energy?
Radda [10]
Hydroelectric power is considered to be an example of multiple transfers of energy because potential energy when the water is in the reservoir turns into kinetic energy making the water move to the dam and then the dam moves into the turbine turning it to electric energy.
