<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.

A box is moving along the x-axis and its position varies in time according to the expression:

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

38.4 m/s

Explanation:

a) at t = 3.2s. $x = 6 * 3.2^2 = 61.44 m$

b) at t = 3.2 + Δt. $x = 6*(3.2 + \Delta t)^2$

c) As Δt approaches 0. We can find the velocity by the ratio of Δx/Δt

$v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{x_2 - x_1}{\Delta t}$

$v = \frac{6*(3.2 + \Delta t)^2 - 61.44}{\Delta t}$

$v = \frac{6(3.2^2 + 6.4\Delta t + \Delta t^2) - 61.44}{\Delta t}$

$v = \frac{61.44 + 38.4\Delta t + \Delta t^2 - 61.44}{\Delta t}$

$v = \frac{\Delta t(38.4 + \Delta t)}{\Delta t}$

$v = 38.4 + \Delta t$

As Δt approaches 0, v = 38.4 + 0 = 38.4 m/s

Water is pumped steadily out of a flooded basement at a speed of 5.4 m/s through a uniform hose of radius 0.83 cm. The hose pass

Gala2k [10]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the flow as a function of the volume in a certain time, as well as the potential and kinetic energy that act on the pump and the fluid.

The work done would be defined as

$\Delta W = \Delta PE + \Delta KE$

Where,

PE = Potential Energy

KE = Kinetic Energy

$\Delta W = (\Delta m)gh+\frac{1}{2}(\Delta m)v^2$

Where,

m = Mass

g = Gravitational energy

h = Height

v = Velocity

Considering power as the change of energy as a function of time we will then have to

$P = \frac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}$

$P = \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}(gh+\frac{1}{2}v^2)$

The rate of mass flow is,

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = \rho_w Av$

Where,

$\rho_w$ = Density of water

A = Area of the hose $\rightarrow A=\pi r^2$

The given radius is 0.83cm or $0.83 * 10^{-2}$ m, so the Area would be

$A = \pi (0.83*10^{-2})^2$

$A = 0.0002164m^2$

We have then that,

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = \rho_w Av$

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = (1000)(0.0002164)(5.4)$

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = 1.16856kg/s$

Final the power of the pump would be,

$P = \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}(gh+\frac{1}{2}v^2)$

$P = (1.16856)((9.8)(3.5)+\frac{1}{2}5.4^2)$

$P = 57.1192W$

Therefore the power of the pump is 57.11W

A 0.200-kg cube of ice (frozen water) is floating in glycerine.The gylcerine is in a tall cylinder that has inside radius 3.90 c

natita [175]

Answer:

Part a)

h = 0.86 cm

Part b)

Level will increase

Explanation:

Part a)

Mass of the ice cube is 0.200 kg

Now from the buoyancy force formula we know that weight of the ice is counter balanced by buoyancy force on the ice

So here we will have

$mg = \rho V_{displaced} g$

$V_{displaced} = \frac{m}{\rho}$

$V_{displaced} = \frac{0.200}{1260} = 1.59 \times 10^{-4} m^3$

now as we know that ice will melt into water

so here volume of water that will convert due to melting of ice is given as

$V\rho_w = m_{ice}$

$V = \frac{0.200}{1000} = 2\times 10^{-4} m^3$

So here extra volume that rise in the level will be given as

$\Dleta V = V - V_{displaced}$

$\pi r^2 h = 2\times 10^{-4} - 1.59 \times 10^{-4}$

$(\pi (0.039^2) h = 0.41 \times 10^{-4}$

$h = 0.86 cm$

Part b)

Since volume of water that formed here is more than the volume that is displaced by the ice so we can say that level of liquid in the cylinder will increase due to melting of ice
