Answer:

The answer is steam!!  

Explanation:

This has been the case since the beginning, the coal is burned in a broiler, the broiler then produces steam; the steam turns the turbines, and the turbines turn the generator which turns the steam to electricity

A light wave travels through air in equals 1.00 at an angle of 35 degrees what angle does it have when it passes from the air in
lyudmila [28]

Answer: Angle 59 degree

Explanation: Given that the

n1 = 1.0

n2 = 1.5

Øi = 35 degree

From Snell law, which says that

n1/n2 = sinØ1/ sinØ2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

1/1.5 = sin 35/sinØ2

Cross multiply

Sin Ø2 = 1.5 sin35

SinØ2 = 1.5 × 0.573 = 0.860

Ø2 = sin^-1(0.860)

Ø2 = 59.36 degree

Ø2 = 59 degree ( approximately)

It has angle 59 degree when passing from air to glass

A 1500kg car double its speed from 50km/h to 100km/h. By how many times does the kinetic energy from the car's forward motion in
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

Inital KE = (1/2) m v^2 = (1/2) * 1500 * 50^2 = 1,875,000 J  

Final KE = (1/2) * 1500 * 100^2 = 7,500,000 J  

But  ,

4 * 1875000 = 7500000

so the KE has increased by 4 times.

Two long, parallel, current-carrying wires lie in an xy-plane. The first wire lies on the line y = 0.300 m and carries a current
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the wires attract each other , the direction of current will be same in both the wires .

Let I be current in wire which is along x - axis

force of attraction per unit length between the two current carrying wire is given by

\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}  x \frac{2 I_1\times I_2}{d}

where I₁ and I₂ are currents in the wires and d is distance between the two

Putting the given values

285 x 10⁻⁶ = 10⁻⁷ x \frac{2\times25.5\times I_2}{.3}

I₂ = 16.76 A

Current in the wire along x axis is 16.76 A

To find point where magnetic field is zero due the these wires

The point will lie between the two wires  as current is in the same direction.

Let at y = y , the neutral point lies

k 2 x  \frac{16.76}{y} = k 2 x \frac{25.5}{.3-y}

25.5y = 16.76 x .3 - 16.76y

42.26 y = 5.028

y = .119

= .12 m

A 235.0 g metal block absorbs 2.44 × 103 J of heat to raise its temperature by 35 K. What is the specific heat of the metal? Sho
andrew-mc [135]
When an object absorbs an amount of energy equal to Q, its temperature raises by \Delta T following the formula
Q=m C_s \Delta T
where m is the mass of the object and C_s is the specific heat capacity of the material.

In our problem, we have Q=2.44 \cdot 10^3 J, m=235.0 g and \Delta T=35 K, so we can re-arrange the formula and substitute the numbers to find the specific heat capacity of the metal:
C_s =  \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}= \frac{2.44 \cdot 10^3 J}{(235.0 g)(35 K)}=0.297 J g^{-1} K^{-1}
