The answer is A. Energy from <span>various energy sources, such as wind or from burning fossil fuels, is used to spin the blades of the turbine. The turbine then powers a generator, which produces electricity.

Works on simple principle of the turbine blades translation of energy sources causing the mechanical spin of the blades which is connected to a rotor which spins the main shaft of generator thus producing electricity.</span>

Explain how electric currents flow only in closed circuits​
Fed [463]

Answer:

The wires are connected to both terminals of the battery, so they form a closed loop. Most circuits have devices such as light bulbs that convert electrical energy to other forms of energy. ... When the switch is turned on, the circuit is closed and current can flow through it.

You lift a 10-N physics book up in the air a distance of 1.0 m, at a constant velocity
Anarel [89]

The book is lifted upward, but gravity points down, so the work done by gravity must be negative (so you can eliminate options 1 and 3).

The force exerted on the book by gravity has magnitude

<em>F</em> = <em>mg</em> = (10 N) (9.80 m/s^2) = 9.8 N ≈ 10 N

You raise the book 1.0 m in the opposite direction, so the work done is

<em>W</em> = (10 N) (-1.0 m) = -10 J

A 8.34 × 103-kg lunar landing craft is about to touch down on the surface of the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

21870.3156 N

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 1.6 m/s²

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-18.2^2}{2\times 162}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.02234\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the craft should be 1.02234 m/s²

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=8.34\times 10^3\times 1.02234\\\Rightarrow F=8526.3156\ N

Weight of the craft

W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=8.34\times 10^3\times 1.6\\\Rightarrow W=13344\ N

Thrust

F_t=F+W\\\Rightarrow F_t=8526.3156+13344\\\Rightarrow F_t=21870.3156\ N

The thrust needed to reduce the velocity to zero at the instant when the craft touches the lunar surface is 21870.3156 N
