Y_Kistochka [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A fossil fuel power station is a thermal power station which burns a fossil fuel, such as coal or natural gas, to produce electricity. Fossil fuel power stations have machinery to convert the heat energy of combustion into mechanical energy, which then operates an electrical generator.

Hysical science is defined as the study of observable phenomena in the universe. 

<span>the main idea of physical science is known as the "scientific method". </span>

<span>this method states: </span>

<span>observe a "real" ( not imaginary ) phenomena. </span>

<span>make a hypothesis ( or theory / idea ) that EXPLAINS this phenomena. </span>

<span>conduct a real experiment to test this hyothesis. </span>

<span>confirm that the experiment validates the original hypothesis and if necessary amend the theory. </span>

<span>it has worked so well that the very communication you are having with me is a result of the wonders of physical science. </span>

Estimate the magnitude of the electric field due to the proton in a hydrogen atom at a distance of
Lana71 [14]

Electric field due to a point charge is given as

E = \frac{kq}{r^2}

here we know that

q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

also the distance is given as

r = 5.29 \times 10^{-11} m

now we will have

E = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{(5.29 \times 10^{-11})^2}

so we will have

E = 5.14 \times 10^{11} N/C

so above is the electric field due to proton

To take off from the ground, an airplane must reach a sufficiently high speed. The velocity required for the takeoff, the takeof
il63 [147K]

<h2> The potential and kinetic energy of airplane are affected by these factors </h2>

Explanation:

When airplane rises up , it requires potential energy . This potential energy can be taken from the kinetic energy of airplane .

Thus if the speed of wind is larger , it can either oppose the motion of velocity or can favour the velocity of airplane  . By which its kinetic energy is effected .

If the weight of airplane is changed , it will effect the potential energy required . Thus heavier plane requires higher potential energy for attaining the same height .

Thus these two factor has important role in the flight of airplane .
