<h2>Answer</h2>

Option D - Coal

<u>Explanation</u>

A fossil fuel power plant is a thermal power station in which fossil fuels are burned to produce electricity. Coal is a fossil fuel which is formed from the buried remains of plants and animals. Burning coal releases the energy that the plant absorbed from the sun. This energy is used to generate steam which is used to move a turbine to produce electricity. In this way, coal is burned by the power plants to produce electricity. In most of the countries, such plants provide most of the electrical energy used.

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: D. Coal

Coal power plants burn coal in to get steam, the steam flows into a turbine which is coupled to an electrical generator.

Coal power plants work burning high amounts of coal into a boiler, generation a lot of steam under extreme pressures. The steam is obtained when the water is heated by the burning coal, then the steam is cooled, being transformed in liquid water again (due the condensation process) and it's sent back on a cyclical process.

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

This seems to be incomplete, as we do not have any information about the magnetic field surrounding the wire, but we can answer in a general way.

We know that for a wire of length L, with a current I, and in a magnetic field B, the force can be written as:

F = L*(IxB)

if we define the right as the positive x-axis, and knowing that the current flows to the right, we can write:

I = i*(1, 0, 0)

And the field will be some random vector that can't be parallel to the current because in that case, we do not have any force.

To find the direction of the force, which will tell us the direction in which the wire deflects or moves, first, we need to point with our thumb in the direction of the current, in this case, to the right.

Now, with the hand open, using the tip of our other fingers we point in the direction of the magnetic field.

For example, if the magnetic field is in the positive z-axis, we will point upwards.

Now the palm of our hand tells us in which direction the force is applied.

This is the right-hand rule.

For example, in the case that the current goes to the right and the magnetic field is upwards, we could see that the force is to the front.

vA 61.2-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 57.8 ° above the horizontal. The cannon uses

dsp73

Answer:

The effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

Explanation:

First, we can use kinematics to obtain the initial velocity of the performer. Since we know the angle at which he was launched, the horizontal distance and the time in which it's traveled, we can calculate the speed by:

$v_0_x=\frac{x}{t}\\ \\v_0\cos\theta=\frac{x}{t}\\\\v_0=\frac{x}{t\cos\theta}$

(This is correct because the horizontal motion has acceleration zero). Then:

$v_0=\frac{20.8m}{(2.60s)\cos57.8\°}\\\\v_0=15.0m/s$

Now, we can use energy to obtain the spring constant of the firing mechanism. By the conservation of mechanical energy, considering the instant in which the elastic band is at its maximum stretch as t=0, and the instant in which the performer flies free of the bands as final time, we have:

$E_0=E_f\\\\U_e=K\\\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\implies k=\frac{mv^2}{x^2}$

Then, plugging in the given values, we obtain:

$k=\frac{(61.2kg)(15.0m/s)^2}{(2.76m)^2}\\\\k=1808N/m$

Finally, the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.
