Answer:
Associations Clusters
Explanation:
There is three basic type of clusters, globular clusters, open clusters, associations clusters. Associations cluster consist of younger stars that is younger than globular and open clusters stars.
Since, the options are not given the question is incomplete the complete question is as follows.:
Which of the following is a major way in which oceans contribute to weather systems?
provide a diverse habitat for many organisms
experience changes in amounts of dissolved salts
store and transport the Sun's heat energy
reach depths that can be as much as 12000 meters
Answer: Store and transport the Sun's heat energy.
Explanation:
Oceanic currents are just like a conveyor belt. It helps in transportation of the warm water and the precipitation from the equator to the poles and the cold water in the poles towards the tropics. This way the oceans counteract the uneven distribution of the radiation of sun that reaches upto the surface earth. This will regulate the global climate.
Answer:
54 Kobo
Explanation:
Units of <u>electricity</u> are measured in kilowatt hours (kWh).
Given information:
- 900 watt electric iron
- Appliance usage = 4 hours a week for 5 weeks
- Unit cost of electricity = 3 Kobo per kWh
<h3><u>Step 1</u></h3>
Convert the wattage of the electric iron from watts to kilowatts.
1000 watts (W) = 1 kilowatt (kW)
⇒ 900 watts = 1 ÷ 1000 = 0.9 kilowatts
This means that the power consumption of the electric iron is 0.9 kW per hour of use.
<h3><u>Step 2</u></h3>
Total hours spent pressing clothes:
= 4 hours per week for 5 weeks
= 4 × 5
= 20 hours
<u>Total power consumption</u>:
= number of kW × number of hours
= 0.9 × 20
= 18 kWh
<h3><u>Step 3</u></h3>
To find the <u>total cost</u>, multiply the total kWh by the cost per kWh:
⇒ Cost = 18 × 3 = 54 Kobo
The so-called "terminal velocity" is the fastest that something can fall
through a fluid. Even though there's a constant force pulling it through,
the friction or resistance of plowing through the surrounding substance
gets bigger as the speed grows, so there's some speed where the resistance
is equal to the pulling force, and then the falling object can't go any faster.
A few examples:
-- the terminal velocity of a sky-diver falling through air,
-- the terminal velocity of a pecan falling through honey,
-- the terminal velocity of a stone falling through water.
It's not possible to say that "the terminal velocity is ----- miles per hour".
If any of these things changes, then the terminal velocity changes too:
-- weight of the falling object
-- shape of the object
-- surface texture (smoothness) of the object
-- density of the surrounding fluid
-- viscosity of the surrounding fluid .
Answer: The major challenges are as
1) understanding of the plasma: Plasma is a soup like mixture of subatomic particles of different atoms nuclei and electrons that are shattered apart by the temperature at which plasma is formed. further research is needed to understand the behavior of plasma so that it can be put to a proper use.
2) Confinement of plasma: Once we get the plasma we need to hold it so that we can obtain heat from it to drive a steam turbine but the sheer temperature of plasma is in millions of Celsius thus currently making it impossible to confine conventionally. Scientists use a loop of electric and magnetic fields to keep it in circulatory like manner so that it can be studied.
3) finally to obtain electricity from the plasma it should be stable to produce electricity. But currently to obtain pressure, temperature so that we have a sustained supply is highly difficult in technical and economical aspects.
Inertial confinement: In order to get the nuclei of atoms close enough for fusion this type of method used compression of the nuclei into highly small volumes.This is accomplished by use of lasers which are directed towards the fuel pellets that implode and travel towards other nuclei making fusion possible. It's main advantage is that it requires lesser time to initiate fusion but the disadvantage being that a large power is used to fire the lasers and the lasers should all hit the small target.
Magnetic Confinement: In this method we use a magnetic and electric fields in a properly designed space to keep the plasma in motion. In motion the nuclei of the atoms come close enough to initiate fusion.It's advantage being less power is required to start the process as compared to inertial confinement and the disadvantage being that plasma confinement is currently not properly understood.
