Answer:

b is the correct option.

Explanation:

Steam distillation is a distillation in which water is added to the mixture being distilled so that water and the organic compounds vaporize, condense and are collected together. This process is applied for the purification of those materials specially the organic materials which are temperature sensitive. The normal boiling method can not be implemented as these materials starts to decompose on high temperatures. This method has got a lot of applications in industries like petrolium refineries and the oil extraction from some plants etc.

A construction crane lowers a beam into place at constant speed. Consider the work Wg done by gravity on the beam and the work W

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Wg is positive and WT negative.

(Letters in options are all wrongly written).

Explanation:

Remember that the work of a force is the internal product between the force and the displacement $W=F.d$ .

Since the displacement is downwards like the weight, the work done by gravity is positive, while the work done by the tension is negative since it points upwards.

A wind turbine has a total input power of 2 500 kW.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Output power = 500 KW

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Efficiency = 20%

Input power = 2500 KW

To find the output power;

$Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; power}{In-put \; power} * 100$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

LET Output power = OP

$20 = \frac {OP}{2500} * 100$

Cross-multiplying, we have;

$20 * 2500 = OP * 100$

$50000 = OP * 100$

$OP = \frac {50000}{100}$

Output power = 500 KW

Scientists have concluded that Earth is at risk of future impacts with meteoroids. What are some criteria that engineers conside

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:
Explain step by step
Explanation:
Collisions with asteroids, comets and other stuff from space have been responsible for huge landmarks in our planet’s history: global shifts in climate, the creation of our moon, the reshuffling of our deepest geology, and the extinction of species.

Asteroid threats pop up in the news every now and then, but the buzz tends to fizzle away as the projectiles pass us by. Other times, as with the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor in Russia, we don’t know they’re here until they’re here.
Perhaps most useful to remember is that when near-Earth objects (including asteroids, comets and meteoroids) enter the atmosphere, they’re called meteors; and if there’s anything left when they hit the ground, the resulting object is called a meteorite. We tend to focus on asteroids when talking about potential collisions, because they’re more likely to hit us than other stuff like comets, but still big enough to pose a threat.
