Answer: C. Coal power can be generated both day and night.

Explanation:

Coal is an important form of source of energy. It is a non-renewable source of energy. It is obtain by mining of the surface below the earth crust.  Coal plays an important role in generation of electricity worldwide.  

It acts as a raw material for the generation of electricity in both day and night. When the coal is turned into a gas. The gas turbine is hot enough to boil the water that can be used to make the steam. The steam spin another type of turbine so as to generate the electricity.

A satellite circles the Earth in an orbit whose radius is twice the Earth’s radius. The Earth’s mass is 5.98 x 1024 kg, and its
gavmur [86]

Hello!

Recall the period of an orbit is how long it takes the satellite to make a complete orbit around the earth. Essentially, this is the same as 'time' in the distance = speed * time equation. For an orbit, we can define these quantities:

d = 2\pi r ← The circumference of the orbit

speed = orbital speed, we will solve for this later

time = period

Therefore:

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

Where 'r' is the orbital radius of the satellite.

First, let's solve for 'v' assuming a uniform orbit using the equation:
v = \sqrt{\frac{Gm}{r}}

G = Gravitational Constant (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)

m = mass of the earth (5.98 × 10²⁴ kg)

r = radius of orbit (1.276 × 10⁷ m)

Plug in the givens:
v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.98*10^{24})}{(1.276*10^7)}} = 5590.983 m/s

Now, we can solve for the period:

T = \frac{2\pi (1.276*10^7)}{5590.983} =\boxed{ 14339.776 s}

A 60-watt light bulb has a voltage of 120 bolts applied across it and a current of 0.5 amperes flows through the bulb. What is t
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

240 ohms

Explanation:

From Ohms law we deduce that V=IR and making R the subject of the formula then R=V/I where R is resistance, I is current and V is coltage across. Substituting 120 V for V and 0.5 A for A then

R=120/0.5=240 Ohms

Alternatively, resistance is equal to voltage squared divided by watts hence \frac {120^{2}}{60}=240

What is the relationship between the acceleration of an object change in relation to its mass
yarga [219]

The relationship between mass and acceleration is an inverse proportionality

Explanation:

The relationship between the acceleration of an object and its mass is given by Newton's second law, which states that:

F=ma

where

F is the net force on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

From the equation, we notice that if the force on the object is kept constant, then the mass and the acceleration are inversely proportional to each other. This means that:

  • If the mass of the object is increased, its acceleration will decrease
  • If the mass of the object is decreased, its acceleration will increase
