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 rock slides down from A to B along the inside surface of a frictionless hemispherical bowl. As the rock slides, mechanical ene
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

the normal force on the rock acts perpendicular to the bowl's surface.

Explanation:

As we know that Normal force is the reaction force of two contact surfaces which always act perpendicular to the contact surfaces

Here we know that the rock is moving inside the bowl

So Normal force on the rock must perpendicular to the surface of the bowl which always passes through the center of the bowl.

Since the rock is moving in vertical plane so it must have two acceleration

1) Tangential acceleration which will increase the magnitude of the speed along the tangential path

2) Centripetal acceleration which will change the direction of the rock

So here only correct option will be

the normal force on the rock acts perpendicular to the bowl's surface.
