Answer:

<em>Thermal energy</em>

Explanation:

<u>Electrical Energy </u>

The electrical energy has been found to be an excellent resource to power our modern lifestyle. It can be produced in several ways including hydroelectrical plants, thermal plants, nuclear plants, solar panels, among many others. Each one of them converts different types of energy into electrical energy.

When converting to electrical energy, some equipment is needed, like generators, transformers, cables, circuit breakers, and every kind of devices with specific functions to have a good and safe electrical service. Each device has an internal resistance that opposes the flow of current. The resistances produce thermal energy as a result of current flowing through them. It's not possible to avoid this waste of energy, electrical engineers do their best to use better materials and configurations to reduce the thermal waste to a minimum.

A bat moving at 3.7 m/s is chasing a ying insect. The bat emits a 36 kHz chirp and receives back an echo at 36.79 kHz. At what s
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the bat, v₀ = 3.7 m/s

frequency of the bat, F₀ = 36 kHz

frequency of the source, Fs = 36.79

This is relative motion between a source of the sound and the observer.  The phenomenon is known as Doppler effect.

Apply the following equation to determine the speed of the insect which is the source;

F_0 = F_s[\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{F_0}{F_s} = [\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{36.79}{36} = \frac{340+3.7}{340-v_s}\\\\1.0219 = \frac{343.7}{340-v_s}\\\\  340-v_s = \frac{343.7}{1.0219}\\\\340-v_s = 336.33\\\\v_s = 340-336.33\\\\v_s = 3.67 \ m/s

The speed the bat is gaining on its prey = 3.7m/s - 3.67m/s = 0.03 m/s

Therefore, the speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The top of the mountian is colder

Explanation:

As air rises, the pressure decreases. It is this lower pressure at higher altitudes that causes the temperature to be colder on top of a mountain than at sea level.

Q 6: A body throws a ball vertically up. It returns to the ground after 5 seconds. Find
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Taking gravity to be 9.8m/s2, The velocity is 24.5m/s2.

Taking gravity to be 10m/s2, The velocity is 25m/s2.

Explanation:

According the first formula of motion under the influence of gravity for upward motion, v=u-gt, where v=final velocity, u=initial velocity, and t= time taken.

Here the time taken for the ball to reach the maximum point is half of 5, which is 2.5 seconds.

And v is 0, since at the maximum point gravity slows down the velocity to 0.

Finding the initial velocity,

v=u-gt

0=u-10(2.5)

u=10(2.5)

u=25m/s

The advantages and disadvantages of using copper, steel and aluminium in electrical cables.
katrin [286]
Advantages of copper cables are that copper is an extremely powerful conductor of electricity and much more stable over time. It can withstand higher temperatures than aluminum and is more resistant to damage. Disadvantages: Copper is more expensive and heavier and thus requires structural support. Advantages of aluminum cables are that it is less expensive, easier to work with and light weight and so does not need structural support when strung over long distance. Disadvantages: Aluminum is more susceptible to corrosion and requires periodic replacement. It needs much greater maintenance. Advantages of steel cables are that steel does not rust, is fairly cheap and readily available. It has a higher tensile strength too. Disadvantages: Steel cables are less ductile and are therefore more susceptible to fatigue.
