Answer:
The process of producing electric energy or the amount of electric energy produced by transforming other forms of energy into electrical energy; commonly expressed in kilowatt-hours (kWh) or megawatt-hours (MWh). Electric power plant efficiency η is defined as the ratio between the useful electricity output from the generating unit, in a specific time, and the energy value of the energy source supplied to the unit in the same time period. For electricity generation based on steam turbines 65% of all prime energy is wasted as heat. The maximum theoretical energy efficiency is defined in more detail by the Rankine cycle. For modern practical systems this is about 40% but less for older generating plant. The efficiency falls still further if fuels with lower energy content such as biomass are used to supply the plant. The economics of power generation based on reciprocating engines depends to a large extent on the use to which the engine is to be put. The cheapest engines available are small petrol-driven engines based on car engines, which are manufactured in large numbers each year.
Explanation:
The object would have a centripetal acceleration <em>a</em> of
<em>a</em> = (12 m/s)² / (0.7 m) ≈ 205.714 m/s²
so that the required tension in the string would be
<em>T</em> = (0.5 kg) <em>a</em> ≈ 102.857 N ≈ 100 N
(rounding to 1 significant digit)
Insulators are the materials that are bad conductors of heat/electricity.insulation is tge pricess of covering any thing with such materials in order to prevent heat or electricity.
Answer:
The dimensions of Young's Modulus, as well as material stress, are the same as pressure because stress is like pressure in a solid, except with some key differences that warrant the use of different terminology.
Answer:
A. burn the coal
Explanation:
Burning the coal is only the way to convert the stored chemical energy of the coal into the the kinetic energy of its molecules that can then be transferred to the nearby objects in the form of heat by the various modes of heat transfer such as conduction, convection or radiation.
Conduction is the contact method of heat transfer in which the adjacent atom transfers the vibration kinetic energy.
Convection is the bulk mode of heat transfer in which the bulk mass of molecules moves near and far to the heat source.
Radiation is the distant mode of heat transfer in the form of electromagnetic waves.
