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

ted into actual work. What happens to the other 92% of the steam's available energy?

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.

Is the relationship between velocity and centripetal force a direct, linear or nonlinear square relationship?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

non linear square relationship

Explanation:

formula for centripetal force is given as

a = mv^2/r

here a ic centripetal acceleration , m is mass of body moving in circle of radius r and v is velocity of body . If m ,and r are constant we have

a = constant × v^2

a α v^2

hence non linear square relationship

A proton, starting from rest, accelerates through a potential difference of 1.0 kV and then moves into a magnetic field of 0.040
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

r = 0.11 m

Explanation:

The radius of the proton's resulting orbit can be calculated equaling the force centripetal (Fc) with the Lorentz force (F_{B}), as follows:

F_{c} = F_{B} \rightarrow \frac{m*v^{2}}{r} = qvB (1)

<u>Where:</u>

<em>m: is the proton's mass =  1.67*10⁻²⁷ kg</em>

<em>v: is the proton's velocity</em>

<em>r: is the radius of the proton's orbit</em>

<em>q: is the proton charge = 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C</em>

<em>B: is the magnetic field = 0.040 T </em>

Solving equation (1) for r, we have:

r = \frac{mv}{qB}   (2)

By conservation of energy, we can find the velocity of the proton:

K = U \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = q*\Delta V   (3)

<u>Where:</u>

<em>K: is kinetic energy</em>

<em>U: is electrostatic potential energy</em>

<em>ΔV: is the potential difference = 1.0 kV </em>

Solving equation (3) for v, we have:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2q\Dela V}{m}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*1.0 \cdot 10^{3} V}{1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg}} = 4.38 \cdot 10^{5} m/s  

Now, by introducing v into equation (2), we can find the radius of the proton's resulting orbit:

r = \frac{mv}{qB} = \frac{1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*4.38 \cdot 10^{5} m/s}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*0.040 T} = 0.11 m

Therefore, the radius of the proton's resulting orbit is 0.11 m.

I hope it helps you!

A scientist is examining an unknown solid. Which procedure would most likely help determine a chemical property of the substance
Neporo4naja [7]
<span>procedure would most likely help determine a chemical property of the substance is : exposing it to a flame to see if it catches on fire Chemical property is the characteristic that a substance has that differntiate it with another substance. The most common charatcteristics that most scientists wanted to know are : - It's flamability - It's radioactivity - Its toxicity By throwing the object into fire, we will easily find out these 3 characteristics</span>

Which of the following is an instantaneous speed?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

A: All of the above

Explanation:

The instantaneous speed of an object is simply the current seed of the object at any given time. The SI unit is m/S and it is a vector quantity.

Therefore, according to the given options, they all have SI units that are consistent with distance and time which makes them all an example of instantaneous speed.
