I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. An impact of a thermoelectric power plant on the environment would be it <span>uses a lot of water which will significantly decrease the supply and amount of water available for use. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. </span>

Answer: It increases the air temperature.

Explanation:

A thermal power station is a power house in which heat energy is converted into electrical energy. In these power plants generally the water is heated so as to obtain the thermal energy in the form of steam which when spins in a steam turbine can be used to generate electricity in a generator.

As the heat energy is obtain from a boiling water that is in the form of stream. Therefore, it is expected to increase the surrounding air temperature.

Forces are measured in Newtons (N). Why are forces considered to be vectors?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

A force has both magnitude and direction, therefore: Force is a vector quantity; its units are newtons, N. Forces can cause motion; alternatively forces can act to keep (an) object(s) at rest. ... Consider two forces of magnitudes 5 N and 7 N acting on a particle, with an angle of 90◦ between them.

23. Lunar Gravity Compare the force holding a
romanna [79]

Explanation:

Given

mass of the rock is 10 kg

Force requires to hold the rock is equal to its weight

Weight is given by the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity

Weight on the earth surface

\Rightarrow W_e=10\times 9.8\\\Rightarrow W_e=98\ N

Weight on the moon surface

\Rightarrow W_m=1.6\times 10\\\Rightarrow W_m=16\ N

So, the force holding the rock on earth is approximately 6 times the force on the moon.

What does force equal? mass times velocity (f = mv) distance divided by time (f = d / t) mass times acceleration (f = ma)
Mama L [17]
A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity

The formula F = m x a.
Force = mass multiplied by acceleration.


The definition of a Newton,
the standard unit of force, is
Newton = kg × m/s^2.

(m/s = meters per second squared)

The voyage of the H.M.S what important because
yaroslaw [1]

C. Physicalist chemist and biologist conducted experience in gather collection that changed existing scientific knowledge about the oceans

Explanation:

The voyage of Her Majesty's Ship was highly important because it furnished scientists with rich evidence about a lot of phenomenon under study and this changed existing scientific knowledge about the ocean.

  • H.M.S II was an expedition to study and map the ocean floor using some sophisticated and newer devices.
  • It was through this expedition that the theory of plate tectonics was modified and became a theory
  • The bathymetry of the ocean floor was also carried out.
  • The mid-oceanic ridge was discovered through the expedition.
  • Some rare species of organisms were also obtained from the ocean floor in this process.
  • The H.M.S second expedition after the world war was very crucial and helped furthered scientific knowledge about the oceans.

Sam is conducting an experiment in a closed room. He places two sound-generating instruments, A and B, in different places in th
diamong [38]

Answer: The correct answer is "Instrument A is placed closer to Sam than instrument B".

Explanation:

The sound can be soft or loud. Loudness depends on the amplitude of the sound wave. Higher the amplitude, more will be loudness. Lower the amplitude, lesser will be loudness.

Pitch depends on the frequency.

In the given problem, the instruments A and B generate sound waves of the same amplitude and at the same time.

Loudness depends on the sound energy produced as the energy of the sound is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude. It also depends on the distance between the source and the receiver.

Sam records a louder sound from instrument A than from instrument B. It means that there is mismatch in loudness. It can happen due to the placement of the instrument A closer to Sam than instrument B.

Therefore, the correct option is "Instrument A is placed closer to Sam than instrument B".
