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 cylindrical Nickel rod (9 mm diameter, 50 m long) is pulled in tension with a load of 6,283 N. What would the elongation of th

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

0.29 m

Explanation:

9 mm = 0.009 m in diameter

Cross-sectional area $A = \pi d^2/4 = \pi * 0.009^2/4 = 6.36\times 10^{-5} m^2$

Let the tensile modulus of Nickel $E = 170 \times 10^9Pa$ .

The elongation of the rod can be calculated using the following formula:

$\Delta L = \frac{F L}{A E} = \frac{6283*50}{6.36\times 10^{-5} * 170 \times 10^9} = \frac{314150}{1081200} = 0.29 m$

A steel sphere of mass 0.5kg travelling at 2m/s collides with an identical sphere at rest. What is the total momentum after coll

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The total momentum after the collision is 1 kg-m/s.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a steel sphere is 0.5 kg

It is travelling with a speed of 2 m/s

It collides with an identical sphere at rest.

The law of conservation of momentum states that the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum for an isolated system. Here, initial momentum is :

$p_i=p_f=mv\\\\p_i=p_f=0.5\times 2\\\\p_f=1\ kg-m/s$
