in order to generate electricity, nuclear powerplants take advantage of this part of the electromagnetic spectrum

Bit of an odd question. Power Plants are known to use water-powered turbines to generate electricity, but can also make use of nuclear fission.

Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 1.8×106N , one an angle 11degrees west of north an

sp2606 [1]

Answer: 2,9 ×10¹⁰J.

Explanation:

1. The work is a measure of energy and is calculated as the product of the displacement times the parallel force to such displacement.

That means that the only components of the force that contribute to work are those that result parallel to the displacement.

2. Since it is given that the two tugboats "pull the tanker a distance 0.83km toward the north", that is the displacement, and you have to calculate the net force toward the north.

3. Tugboat #1.

a) Force magnitude: F₁ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle: α = 11° West of North

c) North component of the force F₁: Fy₁ = F₁cos(α) = 1.8×10⁶N × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N

4. Tugboat #2:

a) Force magnitude: F₂ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle: = 11° East of North

c) North component of the force F₂: Fy₂ = F₂cos(β) = 1.8×10⁶N × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N =

5. Total net force, Fn:

Fn = Fy₁ + Fy₂ = 1.77×10⁶N + 1.77×10⁶N = 3.54×10⁶N

6. Work, W:

Displacement, d = 0.83 km = 8,300 m

W = Fn×d = 3.54×10⁶N×8,300m = 29,000 ×10⁶J = 2,9 ×10¹⁰J

The answer is rounded to two significant figures because both data, Force and displacement, have two significant figures.

The current through two identical light bulbs connected in series is 0.25 A. The voltage across both bulbs is 110 V. The resista

Rus_ich [418]

The resistance of a single light bulb is 220 ohms per bulb.

Ohm's Law is a formula used to determine how voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit relate to one another.

Ohm's Law (E = IR) is as basic to students of electronics as Einstein's Relativity equation (E = mc2) is to physicists.

E = I x R

The formula reads voltage = current x resistance, or V = A xΩ., or volts = amps x ohms.

110volts divided by .25amps = 440 ohms. 440 divided by 2 =220 ohms per bulb.

R = 110/(2*0.25) = 220 ohms

A hiker walked a hiking trail according to the chart below. What is a possible explanation of the hiker's movement?

joja [24]

a.The hiker had an easy, level trail from 11:00-12:00 and was able to travel the fastest during that time period.---> may be because this was indeed fastest stage

b.The hiker got tired and walked the slowest from 1:00-2:00.---> no, because this was not the slowest stage

c.The hiker stopped for lunch from 11:00-12:00 and that slowed him down.---> no because this was the fastest stage

d.The hiker ended up in the same place that he started.---> no, because the hiker walked more toward east than toward west and more toward south than toward north.

Describe the energy change in the particles of a substance during melting. A) The kinetic energy of the particles remains unchan

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.

Explanation:

As we may know, the change in state of an object is due to the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles.

This average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature of the particles.

This is because heat is a form of energy; by adding energy to ice - heat, you "excite" the water molecules, breaking the interactions in the lattice structure and forming weaker, looser hydrogen-bonding interactions.

This causes the ice to melt. This is demonstrated in the image below.

More generally, when you remove energy - the object cools down, the particles move a lot slower. So slow, that they individually attract other molecules more than before, and this results in a physical change that also changes the state.
