Answer: Compression ratio

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that in a combustion chamber there are pistons that move up and down within cylinders. If we take as an example one cylinder, we will have the following:

-The bottom dead center (BDC) is when the volume in the combustion chamber is the greatest, because the piston is exactly at the bottom of the cylinder.

- The top dead center (TDC) is  when the volume in the combustion chamber is the lowest, because the piston is at the top (the highest point) inside the cylinder.

Now, the ratio between these two volumes is the Compression ratio.

Wave power can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.

<h3>What can be the challenges of wave power?</h3>

Wave power is a device that can be used to convert the mechanical energy of the ocean waves into electrical energy based on the principle of conservation of energy.

The major challenges that face the use of wave power in electricity generation is the unreliability of the waves which leads to uncertainty in the quantity of power generated Also, the wave direction and direction of ocean currents all limit the amount of power generated by this method. However, in spite of challenges, it can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.

Looking straight downward into a rain puddle whose surface is covered with a thin film of gasoline, you notice a swirling patter
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

 

Explanation:

Point beneath you forms a beautiful iridescent green

refractive index of Gasoline n=1.38

Wavelength of Green light is \lambda =540\ nm

Here light first traverse from air(n=1) to gasoline , it reflects from  front surface of gasoline(n=1.38) so it suffers a phase change. After this light reflect from rear surface of gasoline and there is a decrease in refractive index(n=1.38 to n=1.33), so there is no phase change occurs .

For constructive interference

2t=(m+\frac{1}{2})\cdot \frac{\lambda }{n}

here t= thickness of gasoline film

n=refractive index

for m=0

t=\frac{\lambda }{4n}

t=\frac{540}{4\times 1.38}

t=97.82\approx 98\ nm

Which is an example of kinetic energy? A. a stretched rubber band B. wind C. water in a reservoir D. natural gas E. an object su
daser333 [38]

Kinetic energy is energy of motion.

In the cases of a stretched rubber band, water in a reservoir, natural gas, or an object suspended above the ground, everything is just laying there, and nothing is moving. There's nothing there that has kinetic energy.

If there's any wind, then air is moving. The moving air has kinetic energy.

answer questions1) The south pole of the steel magnet will be brought closer to the iron nail head. Which pole will be at the po
Anvisha [2.4K]
Answer:

North pole

Explanation:

According to the law of magnetism:

<em>Unlike poles attract while like poles repel</em>

Since the south pole of the steel is brought near the nail, and the nail is meant to attract the steel magnet, the nail domain realigns itself to produce a pole opposite to the pole of the steel magnet brought near it.

Since the North pole is the opposite of the south pole, the North pole will be at the pointed end of the nail so that it can attract the steel magnet.
