D. A heat engine that uses heat to do work

Explanation:

A coal fired power plant is a heat engine that uses heat to do work.

A heat engine is a device that is used to convert heat energy into mechanical energy .

A heat pump uses mechanical energy to produce more heat from a lower heat sink.

A coal power plant produces heat by firing the coal.
Heat from the coal combustion heats water to steam.
The steam is used to drive heavy turbines
The turbine has mechanical energy and it then produce electricity.

A negative charge is at rest at the origin of an axis system. Location x is at coordinate point (2m,3m) while location y is at (

Sergeu [11.5K]

The magnitude of the E-field decreases as the square of the distance from the charge, just like gravity.

Location ' x ' is √(2² + 3²) = √13 m from the charge.

Location ' y ' is √ [ (-3)² + (-2)² ] = √13 m from the charge.

The magnitude of the E-field is the same at both locations.

The direction is also the same at both locations ... it points toward the origin.

A family is skating at an ice rink. The 58.2 kg mother is holding the

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

When I got this question I had to draw it out so if you have to do that, draw 3 stick figures holding hands, one representing the mother, father, and daughter. Then you write their weights on top of them and then draw an arrow pointing from the father to the mother.

Explanation:

use this formula :

$a_{y}$ = $\frac{Fdadshandy}{msys}$

then you fill it in :

$a_{y}$ = $\frac{100N}{35.5kg+58.2kg}$

$a_{y}$ = $\frac{100N}{93.7kg}$

$a_{y}$ = $1.0672$ $m/s^{2}$

then you multiply that with the daughters weight :

$T_{2} x= m_{2} a_{y}$

$T_{2} x = 35.5kg (1.0672 m/s^{2})$

$T_{2} x = 37.89N$

and that's the answer :) : 37.89N

Con lắc lò xo có độ cứng k = 100N/m được gắn vật có khối lượng m=0.1kg, kéo vật ra khỏi vị trí cân bằng 1 đoạn 5cm rồi buông tay

Delvig [45]

Answer:

The maximum velocity is 1.58 m/s.

Explanation:

A spring pendulum with stiffness k = 100N/m is attached to an object of mass m = 0.1kg, pulls the object out of the equilibrium position by a distance of 5cm, and then lets go of the hand for the oscillating object. Calculate the achievable vmax.

Spring constant, K = 100 N/m

mass, m = 0.1 kg

Amplitude, A = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Let the angular frequency is w.

$w = \sqrt{K}{m}\\\\w = \sqrt{100}{0.1}\\\\w = 31.6 rad/s$

The maximum velocity is

$v_{max} = w A\\\\v_{max} = 31.6\times 0.05 = 1.58 m/s$
