Lightning is an electric current. Within a thundercloud way up in the sky, many small bits of ice (frozen raindrops) bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of those collisions create an electric charge. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charger

Answer:

Explanation:La ecuación de Van der Waals es una ecuación de estado de un fluido compuesto de partículas con un tamaño no despreciable y con fuerzas intermoleculares, como las fuerzas de Van der Waals. La ecuación, cuyo origen se remonta a 1873, debe su nombre a Johannes van der Waals, quien recibió el premio Nobel en 1910 por su trabajo en la ecuación de estado para gases y líquidos, la cual está basada en una modificación de la ley de los gases ideales para que se aproxime de manera más precisa al comportamiento de los gases reales al tener en cuenta su tamaño no nulo y la atracción entre sus partículas.

A food department is kept at â12Â°c by a refrigerator in an environment at 30Â°c. the total heat gain to the food department is

slava [35]

As per energy conservation in the reversible engine we can say

$Q_2 + W = Q_1$

here we know that

$Q_2 = 3300 kJ/h$

$Q_1 = 4800 kJ/h$

now from above equation

$3300 + W = 4800$

$W = 1500 kJ/h$

now we can convert it into kW

$W = 1500\times \frac{kJ}{3600s}$

$W = 0.42 kW$

so above is the power input to the refrigerator

now to find COP we know that

$COP = \frac{Q_2}{W}$

$COP = \frac{3300}{1500} = 2.2$

so COP of refrigerator is 2.2

Two planets having equal masses are in circular orbit around a star. Planet A has a smaller orbital radius than planet B. Which

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this, we must know two things.

First, the force of gravity acting on an orbiting object is equal to its mass times centripetal acceleration.

Second, the force of gravity between two objects is defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation: Fg = mMG/r², where Fg is the force of gravity, m and M are the masses of the objects, G is the universal constant of gravitation, and r is the distance between the objects.

Therefore:

Fg = m v²/r

mMG/r² = m v²/r

v² = MG/r

The potential energy of each planet is:

PE = mgr = m (MG/r²) r = mMG/r

The kinetic energy of each planet is:

KE = 1/2 mv² = 1/2 m (MG/r) = 1/2 mMG/r

The total mechanical energy is:

ME = PE + KE = 3/2 mMG/r

Since both planets have the same mass, the only difference is the orbital radius. Since planet A has a smaller orbital radius, it has more potential energy, more kinetic energy, and more mechanical energy.

How do fission nuclear reactions differ from fusion nuclear reactions?

Serhud [2]

The path of the raction occurs on the basis of mass of the nuclei involved in reaction.
In case of nuclear fusion, two or more nuclei having less mass fuse(combine, join) together to form a new nuclei(heavier mass but it is relatively stable). During fusion, matter is not conserved because some of the matter is converted into energy(light). This reaction evolves a huge amount of energy and there comes Einstein's famous Energy-mass equivalence formula E=mc^2! :D. The nuclear reaction occuring in stars(including our sun ) is "fusion".

Fission occurs with heavier nuclei such as that of Uranium-235. Which splits into smaller subatomic particles like gamma, neutrons and enormous amount of energy.
Both, Fission and Fusion releases enormous amount of energy and modern nuclear weapons works on the principle of nuclear fission.

Why is Jupiter so much larger than Earth? Check all that apply.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Just to give you a sense of scale, Jupiter is 2.5 times more massive than all the rest of the planets in the Solar System combined. Jupiter's diameter is 11.2 times larger than Earth. Jupiter is a very gaseous planet. The temperature of the early solar system explains why the inner planets are rocky and the outer ones are gaseous. As the gases coalesced to form a protosun, the temperature in the solar system rose.
