Answer:

40 MJ (D)

Explanation:

Quantity of heat (Qh) = 100 MJ

temperature of steam (Th) = 450°c = 450 + 273 = 723 K

emperature of water (TI) = 20 °c = 20 + 273 = 293 k

efficiency = (Qh-Qi)/Qh = (Th-Ti)/Th

 \frac{100x10x^{6}-Qi }{100x10^{6}} = \frac{723-293}{723}

100x10^{6} - Qi= 0.5947 x 100 x 10 ^{6}

100x10^{6} - (0.5947 x 100x10^{6}) = Qi

Qi = 40.5 MJ equivalent to 40 MJ (D)

What is the minimum frequency with which a 200-turn, flat coil of cross sectional area 300 cm2 can be rotated in a uniform 30-mT
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The minimum frequency of the coil is 7.1 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns, N = 200 turns

cross sectional area, A = 300 cm² = 300 x 10⁻⁴ m²

magnitude of magnetic field strength, B = 30 x 10⁻³ T

maximum value of the induced emf, E = 8 V

Maximum induced emf is given as;

E = NBAω

where

ω is angular velocity (ω = 2πf)

E = NBA2πf

where;

f is the minimum frequency, measured in hertz (Hz)

f = E / (NBA2π)

f = 8 / (200 x 30 x 10⁻³  x 300 x 10⁻⁴ x 2 x 3.142)

f = 7.073 Hz

f = 7.1 Hz

Therefore, the minimum frequency of the coil is 7.1 Hz

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Is always towards the center of the Earth

Explanation:

As a satellite moves around the Earth in a circular orbit, the direction of the force of gravity is always towards the center of the Earth. At an altitude of 100 km, you would be so high that you would see black sky and stars if you looked upwards.
