Answer: a. boiler - I. part of a coal-fired power plant.

b. combustion chamber - I. part of a coal-fired power plant.

c. condenser - III. part of a coal-fired power plant and part of a nuclear power plant.

d. control rod - I. part of a coal-fired power plant.

e. generator- III. part of a coal-fired power plant and part of a nuclear power plant.

f. turbine - III. part of a coal-fired power plant and part of a nuclear power plant.

Explanation:

a. Boiler: It is used in the coal power plant to heat the water used for producing electricity. The boiler keeps the temperature of water or steam at a desired level.

b. Combustion chamber: It is used for combustion of coal and using thermal energy for electricity generation.

c. Condenser; It is used in both nuclear and coal power plants. It condense and receive from the turbine.

d. Control rod: It is used in the nuclear power plant for controlling the nuclear fission and fusion reactions of heavy metals.

e. Generator: It converts the thermal energy into electrical energy.

f. Turbine: The turbine blades move with the effect of steam or any form of energy and the energy so produce is used for generating electricity in generator.

A sprinter speeds up to 3 m/s during the last 2 seconds of the race with an

quester [9]

Answer:

The initial speed of the sprinter was 2.2 m/s

Explanation:

Constant Acceleration Motion

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

The following relation applies:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Where a is the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time.

The sprinter speeds up from an unknown initial speed to vf=3 m/s in t=2 seconds with an acceleration of $a=0.4~m/s^2$ .

To find the initial speed, we solve the equation for vo:

$v_o=v_f-at$

Substituting the values:

$v_o=3-0.4*2$

$v_o=3-0.8$

$v_o=2.2~m/s$

The initial speed of the sprinter was 2.2 m/s

Which sphere of Earth is associated with plate tectonics?

Marrrta [24]

When looking at this question, we can easily start by eliminating certain answers. In the selections you've provided, you've shown atmosphere. We can easily eliminate letter A, as that makes absolutely no sense. Moving on, you also eliminate letter B, as that deals with ecosystems and whatnot. And finally, you can eliminate hydrosphere, letter C - as that's not the same. That deals with water, like oceans or rivers.

That leaves you with D) Lithosphere for your answer. The Lithosphere is the rigid part of the earth, the outermost layer, I would say. The crust / mantle. That's why it would be letter D - plate tectonics seem to have relations with the Lithosphere. The lithosphere is affected.

Calculate the most probable speed of an ozone molecule in the stratosphere

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

$v_{mp}=305.83 m/s$

Explanation:

The temperature in stratosphere is generally about 270 K

molecular weight of an ozone molecule = 48 gm/mole

now formula for most probable velocity

$v_{mp}= \sqrt{\frac{2RT}{M} }$

plugging the values we get

$v_{mp}= \sqrt{\frac{2\8.314\times270}{48} }$

$v_{mp}=305.83 m/s$

A car traveling at 15 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 10 seconds. What is it’s acceleration

tresset_1 [31]

So the initial velocity is 15 m/s, the final velocity is 0 since it's at a complete stop and time is 10 seconds. Therefore:

$Acceleration=\frac{v_{final}-v_{initial}}{t_{final}-t_{initial}} =\frac{0m/s-15m/s}{10s-0s} =-1.5\frac{m}{s^2}$

Therefore, the acceleration is -1.5 m/s^2. The reason it's negative is due to the fact that the vector is going against it's original movement since it's decelerating.
