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.

An archer puts a 0.30-kg arrow to the bowstring. An average force of 201 N is exerted to draw the string back 1.3 m. Assuming th
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

41.74 m/s

Explanation:

The energy used to draw the bowstring = the kinetic energy of the arrow.

Fd = 1/2mv²................................ Equation 1

Where F = force, d = distance move string, m = mass of the arrow, v = speed of the arrow.

make v the subject of the equation

v = √(2Fd/m)...................... Equation 2

Given: F = 201 N, m = 0.3 kg, d = 1.3 m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = √(2×201×1.3/0.3)

v = √(1742)

v = 41.74 m/s.

Hence the arrow leave the bow with a speed of 41.74 m/s

Amy throws a softball through the air. What are the different forces acting on the ball while it’s in the air?
aniked [119]
An applied force<span> is a </span>force<span> that is </span>applied<span> to an object by a person or another object.
An attractive force is a force of an attraction (where object are attracted by each other). Gravitation is an example of attractive force.
</span>Normal force<span> is the component, perpendicular to the surface (surface being a plane) of contact.
</span><span>The softball experiences an applied force as a result of Amy’s throw. As the ball moves, it experiences attractive force from the air it passes through. It also experiences a downward pull because of the normal force.
Solution A.</span>
