Airports at high elevations have longer runways for takeoffs and landings than do airports at sea level. One reason is that airc

raft engines develop less power in the thin air well above sea level. What is another reason?

-- Airfoils (wings) develop less lift in less-dense air.
So the aircraft needs a longer take-off roll before it can lift off.
Also, its landing speed is greater, even with full flaps.

-- Air resistance (friction) is lower in less-dense air.
So the aircraft needs a longer landing roll before the spoilers
can reduce its speed sufficiently.  (Brakes can't do it all.)

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Low humidity is typically associated with cold temperatures since cold air holds less water compared to warm air. While it is possible for indoor humidity to be as low as 10%, most people generally find humidity levels of about 40 to 45 percent comfortable.

Mrrafil [7]
<span>(a) 0.0676 l (b) 67.6 cc So we've been told that 5.00 L of blood flows through the heart every minute and that the heart beats 74.0 times per minute. So that means that for every beat of the heart, 5.00 L / 74.0 = 0.067567568 L of blood flows through the heart. Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 0.0676 l. Converting from liters to cubic centimeters simply require a multiplication by 1000, so we have 67.6 cc of blood pumped per beat.</span>

Answer: a. boiler - I. part of a coal-fired power plant.

b. combustion chamber - I. part of a coal-fired power plant.

c. condenser - III. part of a coal-fired power plant and part of a nuclear power plant.

d. control rod - I. part of a coal-fired power plant.

e. generator- III. part of a coal-fired power plant and part of a nuclear power plant.

f. turbine - III. part of a coal-fired power plant and part of a nuclear power plant.

Explanation:

a. Boiler: It is used in the coal power plant to heat the water used for producing electricity. The boiler keeps the temperature of water or steam at a desired level.

b. Combustion chamber: It is used for combustion of coal and using thermal energy for electricity generation.

c. Condenser; It is used in both nuclear and coal power plants. It condense and receive from the turbine.

d. Control rod: It is used in the nuclear power plant for controlling the nuclear fission and fusion reactions of heavy metals.

e. Generator: It converts the thermal energy into electrical energy.

f. Turbine: The turbine blades move with the effect of steam or any form of energy and the energy so produce is used for generating electricity in generator.
