Answer:

When energy contained in coal is turned into heat, and then into electrical energy. As boiling water heated by the burning coal is cooled, steam forges from these cone-shaped cooling towers.

What is the equivalent resistance?

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

C 3.33 Ω

Explanation:

From the equation given 1 / Rtot = 1/10 + 1/5 = 3/10

then Rtot = 10/3 = 3.33 Ω

As an aside:

When there are only two resistors in parallel, the equivalent R is

= R1*R2 / (R1 + R2) = 10*5 / (10+5) = 50 / 15 = 3.33 Ω

A soccer ball of diameter 22.6cm and mass 426g rolls up a hill without slipping, reaching a maximum height of 5m above the base

-Dominant- [34]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter=d=22.6 cm

Mass,m=426 g= $426\times 10^{-3} kg$

1 kg=1000 g

Radius,r= $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{22.6}{2}=11.3 cm=11.3\times 10^{-2} m$

1m=100 cm

Height,h=5m

$I=\frac{2}{2}mr^2$

a.By law of conservation of energy

$\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

$\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2}{3}mr^2\omega^2+\frac{1}{2}mr^2\omega^2=mgh$

$v=\omega r$

$gh=\frac{1}{3}r^2+\frac{1}{2}r^2=\frac{5}{6}r^2\omega^2$

$\omega^2=\frac{6}{5r^2}gh$

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{6gh}{5r^2}}=\sqrt{\frac{6\times 9.8\times 5}{5(11.3\times 10^{-2})^2}}=67.86 rad/s$

Where $g=9.8m/s^2$

b.Rotational kinetic energy= $\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2}{3}mr^2\omega^2=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2}{3}(426\times 10^{-3})(11.3\times 10^{-2})^2(67.86)^2=8.35 J$

Rotational kinetic energy=8.35 J

The energy your body gets from food is originally provided by which nuclear

Naily [24]

Answer:

Nuclear Fusion

Explanation:

The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei. The leftover mass becomes energy.
