Even under the most ideal conditions, only about 8% of the internal energy of the steam produced in a steam engine can be conver

As per the law of conservation of energy, no energy is created or destroyed. Therefore, we can conclude that the remaining 92% of energy released in electricity generation from steam power plants is converted to other, non-utilizable forms of energy. Such forms include sound energy or thermal energy between the moving parts of the plant.

A geologist sees a fault along which blocks of rock in the footwall have moved higher relative to blocks of rock in the hanging
Luda [366]

Answer: Normal fault

Explanation:

The type of fault that is explained above is a normal fault. We should note that normal faults typically takes place in a divergent boundary in a scenario where the crusts may have been pulled apart.

Since the crust is pulled apart in this case, it leads to the downward movement of the hanging wall which leads to the football being above the hanging wall.

An attack helicopter is equipped with a 20- mm cannon that fires 88.7 g shells in the forward direction with a muzzle speed of 9
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The impulse imparted to the shells equals the change in the momentum:
Fav*(Delta t)= Delta m*v.
The mass change is
Delta m= n*m= (89.9shells)*(88.7g)=7.97Kg
So the average force is
F=((v)*(Delta m))/t= ((929)*(7.97))/4.84=1529.78 N
Since the velocity of the shells is much greater than the velocity of the helicopter, there is no need to use relative velocity.
