It is refraction because if you look in a glass of water with a straw, it looks as if there are 2 straws.

An electrical power plant manages to send 88% of the heat produced in the burning of fossil fuel into the water-to-steam convers

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the x represent the amount of heat generated from the fossil fuel.

88% of x = 0.88 x

0.88 x was used to convert water to steam.

heat carried by steam = 40% × 0.88 x = 0.352 x

efficiency of the heat -to- work conversion = work output / work input = 0.352 x / x = 0.352 × 100 = 35.2 % which is less than 40 %

What speed would a proton need to achieve in order to circle Earth 1790 km above the magnetic equator, where the Earth's mag- ne

irinina [24]

Answer:

The velocity is 31.25 m/s and direction is toward west.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance $h= 1790 km = 1.790\times10^{6}\ m$

Magnetic field $B=4\times10^{-8}\ T$

Mass of proton $m=1.673\times10^{-21}\ Kg$

Radius of earth $R =6.38\times10^{6}\ m$

Radius of orbit $r=R+h$

$r=6.38\times10^{6}+1.790\times10^{6}$

$r=8170000\ m$

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of magnetic field

$Bvq=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$v=\dfrac{Bqr}{m}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{4\times10^{-8}\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times8170000}{1.673\times10^{-21}}$

$v=31.25\ m/s$

Hence, The velocity is 31.25 m/s and direction is toward west.

Find the equivalent resistance of this

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Re=160ohm

Explanation:

Step#1

Rt=R1+R2 ( because both are in series)

Rt=(100+220 ) ohm

Rt=320 ohm

Step#2

Rt and R3 are parallel so,

Re= (Rt× R3) ÷ (Rt+R3)

Re= (320×320)÷( 320+320)

Re = 102,400÷ 640

Re=160ohm
