The correct answer to the question is : B) Both use kinetic energy to produce electricity.

EXPLANATION:

Hydroelectricity is produced when the kinetic energy of the falling water rotates the turbine. The generator associated with the turbine is rotated, and electric energy is produced due to electric magnetic induction.

In case of power plants in which wind is used as energy source, the same process happens. The kinetic energy of wind rotates the propellers of wind turbine which in turn produces electric energy.

Hence, the correct similarity between them is statement B.

The hydropower plant and wind turbines both uses kinetic energy to produce mechanical power and convert the mechanical energy using a generator to an electrical energy. They both have the process to produce energy but they differ in the source the hydropower plant uses water to whit the wind turbines power plant uses wind. Therefore the answer is letter B.

3. What is the difference between an emission spectrum and an absorption spectrum? What is the Bohr model of the atom, and how d
pishuonlain [190]
The Bohr model resembles a planetary system in which the negatively-charged electrons orbit a small and very dense, positively-charged nucleus at the atom's center.
The electrons are held in orbit by the Coulomb (electrical) force between the positively-charged nucleus and the negatively-charged electrons.

The electrons cannot occupy just any orbital radius.
Only orbits with a very specific set of energy values are permitted (which all atoms of a given element have in common and are unique to that element).
The lowest energy (or ground state) corresponds to orbit closest to the nucleus and photons with specific amounts of electromagnetic radiation are absorbed or emitted when an electron moves from one orbit to another (absorbed to move further up the permitted levels and away from the nucleus)


An atomic line spectrum is the whole range of specific photon radiation frequencies that an element can emit or absorb as it's electrons move between the energy levels allowed in those atoms.

The emissions correspond with electrons descending 'down' their energy levels, with the energy differences being carried away by photons with the appropriate frequency. Consequently an emission spectra is a series of specific, single color lines (against a black background) for each of the emitted frequencies.

Photon absorption provides the energy for electrons to 'climb' the set of energy levels for that element. So, putting electrons into higher energy states within an atom.
When the absorbed photons are removed from incident light containing the full spectrum, their absence is seen as a series of fine black lines on an otherwise continuous spectrum background.

Unpolarized light passes through two polarizers. Find the fraction of light from the first polarizer that gets through the secon
meriva

Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The angle between their transmission axes, θ = 60°

Now,

We have the relation,

I₁ = I₀cos²θ

where,

I₁ is the intensity of the transmitted light

I₀ is the intensity of the incident light

on rearranging, we get

\frac{I_1}{I_0}=cos²60°

or

\frac{I_1}{I_0}=0.5

A sinusoidal wave has the following wave function: y(x,t) = (2.5 m) sin[(3.0 m-1) x – (24 s-1) t + π/2] What is the frequency of
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

3.82 Hertz

Explanation:

y = 2.5 Sin\left (3x-24t+\frac{\pi }{2}  \right )

This is the equation of a wave which varies sinusoidally.

The standard equation of a wave is given by

y = A Sin\left ( kx-\omega t+\phi  \right )

where, A be the amplitude of the wave, k be the wave number, x be the displacement of wave, ω be the angular frequency and t be the time taken, and Ф be the phase angle.

now compare the given equation by the standard equation, we get

k = 3

ω = 24

Ф = π / 2

So, the angular frequency = 24

The relation between the angular frequency and the frequency is given by

ω = 2 x π x f

24 = 2 x 3.14 x f

f = 3.82 Hertz

What is the astronauts mass on earth ​
guajiro [1.7K]
The Moon's gravity is much less than the Earth's gravity - approximately one sixth. So, a 100 kg astronaut weighs 980N on Earth. On the Moon, the astronaut would weigh only 162.2N. However, the astronaut's mass is 100kg where-ever they are.Jul 8, 2020
