Which is an example of nuclear energy being converted into heat and light?
Ann [662]

Answer:

<h3>D.   A coal burning power plant</h3><h3 />

Explanation:

it is a coal power plant , nuclear power is economical and does not fluctuate as much as wind or solar power.

Unlike coal, it is considered clean in terms of the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by the power plant itself, although uranium mining and processing are not without risks and environmental impact

entrained air is drier than the air within a cloud. considering the phase change of water, how could this lead to further coolin
Wittaler [7]

Dry air adjacent to the cloud is entrained air is drier than the air within a cloud. The evaporation occurs in the cloud which cools the air.  The cooling of air increases its density and creates a downdraft.

<h3>How clouds are formed?</h3>

A cloud can be described as a mass of ice crystals or water drops suspended in the atmosphere. Clouds can be formed when the water condenses in the atmosphere. The sky possesses some quantity of water vapours and it is invisible to us.

Clouds can be formed when an area of air gets cooler until the water vapour there condenses to liquid form. At this point, the air gets saturated with water vapours.

A cloud can never be perfectly adiabatic. Therefore, after mixing the environmental air with the clouds, its boundaries will not stay well defined and this process is called entrainment.

A duck floating on a lake oscillates up and down
slega [8]
<span>The answer is (2) 0.50 Hz. The frequency (f) of oscillation is the number of oscillations (n) per time (t) in seconds: f = n/t. A duck floating on a lake oscillates up and down 5.0 times (n = 5.0) during a 10.-second interval (t = 10.0 s). So, the frequency of duck's oscillations is: f = 5.0/10.0 s = 0.50 1/s = 0.50 Hz.Hope I helped! :) Cheers!</span>

The rms speed of the molecules in 1.3 g of hydrogen gas is 1600 m/s.
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.3  g = 1.3 / 2 = .65 moles of hydrogen .

.65 moles = 6.02 x 10²³  x .65 molecules

Translational kinetic energy of one molecule = 1/2 mc² where c is rms speed = 1/2 x 2 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x ( 1600 )² = 42752 x 10⁻²⁵ J

Translational kinetic energy of .65  moles = 6.02 x 10²³  x .65 x 42752 x 10⁻²⁵ J

= 1673 J  approx .

B )  Total thermal energy and total translational kinetic energy are same so

Thermal energy of gas = 1673 J

C )  Net content of thermal energy = 1673 + 500 - 2000 = 173 J  

If c be the rms speed

  1/2 x 2 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x .65 x  6.02 x 10²³ c² =  173

6.534 x 10⁻⁴ c² = 173

c² = 264769

c = 514.56 m /s

Why does petrol vapour gets stucked into the carborator of<br> thecar.
hammer [34]

Answer:vapour gets stuckes into the carburetor when the car engine heat up with continuous acceleration and deceleration.

Explanation:Vapor lock occurs when the car engine gets heat up with continuous acceleration and deceleration. The automobile engine has to work harder during the hot summer days. An automobile engine runs hotter than usual in the stop-go traffic.. This extreme heat vaporizes the fuel in carburetor and fuel pump.
