Answer: True

Explanation:

Coal burning power plants produce electricity by burning of coal in a boiler to produce steam. The produced steam under the tremendous pressure directly flows into the turbine, the turbine spins the generator to produce electricity. The produced steam is converted into liquid water by the condenser this liquid water then returns to the boiler to the start the process again.

Vector A has magnitude of 15.0 m/s and is 75° counter-clockwise up from the x-axis. What are the x- and y-components of the vect

LiRa [457]

Answer:

x component 3.88 y- component 14.488

Explanation:

We have given a vector A which has a magnitude of 15 m/sec which is at 75° counter-clock wise ( anti-clock wise) from x -axis which is clearly shown in bellow figure

Now x-component will be 15 cos75°=3.8822 ( as it makes an angle of 75° with x-axis )

y- component will be 15 sin 75°=14.488

For verification the resultant of x and y component should be equal to 15

So $resultant =\sqrt{14.488^2+3.88^2}=15$

A rock is dropped off a cliff and falls the first half of the distance to the ground in 2.0 seconds. how long will it take to fa

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The answer is 0.83 seconds.

Explanation:

The formula of free fall is following:

$h=1/2*g*t^2$

Where g=9.8 m/s^2 and t=2 seconds, the rock takes:

$h=1/2*9.8*2^2=19.6$

19.6 meters. This is the half distance of the cliff. The whole distance is 39.2 meters. So it takes:

$39.2=1/2*9.8*t^2\\t^2=8\\t=2.83$

2.83 second to fall down completely. The rock takes the second half of the cliff in 0.83 seconds

A 100 Kg man is diving off a 50 meter cliff. What is his kinetic energy when he is 20 meters from the water?

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

$K.E=29.403125J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass $M=100$

Height $50-20=30m$

Generally the equation for velocity before impact is is is mathematically given by

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2*9.8*30}$

$v=24.25$

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is is mathematically given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}*100*(24.25)^2\\$

$K.E=29403.125J$

$K.E=29.403125J$

A crowbar 2727 in. long is pivoted 66 in. from the end. What force must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600600 lb

NikAS [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to equilibrium, for this specific case, through the sum of torques.

$\sum \tau = F*d$

If the distance in which the 600lb are applied is 6in, we will have to add the unknown Force sum, at a distance of 27in - 6in will be equivalent to that required to move the object. So,

$F*(27-6)= 6*600$

$F = \frac{6*600}{21}$

$F= 171.42 lb$

So, Force that must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600lb object to the short end is 171.42lb
