Answer: False

Explanation:

Galileo proved the heliocentric model by studying the position of Venus. He believed the sun to be center and all other bodies revolved around it in circular orbits which was disproved by Kepler. Kepler developed laws of planetary motion. One of which states that planets revolve around Sun in elliptical orbits with Sun at one of its foci. Thus, the given statement is false.

An electrical power plant manages to send 88% of the heat produced in the burning of fossil fuel into the water-to-steam convers
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Let the x represent the amount of heat generated from the fossil fuel.

88% of x = 0.88 x

0.88 x was used to convert water to steam.

heat carried by steam = 40% × 0.88 x = 0.352 x

efficiency of the heat -to- work conversion = work output / work input = 0.352 x / x = 0.352 × 100 = 35.2 % which is less than 40 %

How do you know the speed of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum?
ycow [4]
Electromagnetic waves need no matter to travel - they can travel through empty space (a vacuum). In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at approximately 3 x 108 m/s - which is the fastest speed possible. ...
Light traveling value through an optical Fibre is, 2 x 108 m/s. Hope that helps.

Two long, straight wires both carry current to the right, are parallel, and are 25 cm apart. Wire one carries a current of 2.0 A
Artemon [7]

Answer:

x = 7.14 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Current in wire 1, I_1=2\ A

Current in wire 2, I_2=5\ A  

Distance between parallel wires, r = 25 cm

Let at P point the net magnetic field equal to 0. The magnetic field at a point midway between the is given by :

B=\dfrac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}

Let the distance is x from wire 1. So,

\dfrac{I_1}{r}=\dfrac{I_2}{(0.25-r)}

\dfrac{2}{r}=\dfrac{5}{(25-r)}

x=\dfrac{50}{7}\ m

x = 7.14 meters

So, the magnetic field will be 0 at a distance of 7.14 meters from wire 1. Hence, this is the required solution.

A boat has a mass of 4040 kg. Its engines generate a drive force of 4660 N due west, while the wind exerts a force of 880 N due
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the boat, m = 4040 kg

The driving force of engine, FB = 4660 N in west = + 4660 N

The force of wind, Fwi = 880 N in east = -880 N

The force of water, Fwa = 1400 N in east = -1400N

Total three forces are acting on the boat

Fnet= Fb+fwi+Fwa

Fnet= 4660 - 880 - 1400

Fnet= +2380N

Acceleration (a) = Force/mass

= 2380/4040

= 0.59m/s2
