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 car is traveling at a speed of 54 km/h. Breaks are applied so as to produce a uniform acceleration of -0.5 m/s2. Find how far
Lena [83]

Explanation:

u=54 km/h

54*5/18=15 m/s

v=0m/s

t=?

acceleration=-0.5m/s^2

we know that a=v-u/t

so,

t=v-u/a

t=15-0/0.5

=15/0.5

=30

therefore, the time is 30 second

Hope this answer helps you..

Which has a greater force: a semi-truck at rest or a moving bicycle?
Wittaler [7]

Although the semi truck certainly has a larger mass, it is not in motion and therefore does not have any momentum. The bicycle however has both mass and velocity and therefore has the larger momentum of the pair.

A net force of 20 N acting on a wooden block produces an
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

From the second law of motion:

F = ma

we are given that the force applied on the block is 20N and the block accelerates at an acceleration of 4 m/s/s

So, F=  20N   and  a = 4 m/s/s

Replacing the variables in the equation:

20 = 4* m

m = 20 / 4

m = 5 kg
