<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.

dangina [55]

Answer:

6.3 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass of the block = 1.10 kg

k = spring constant of the spring

x = stretch in the spring = 0.2 m

t = time taken by block to come to zero speed first time = 0.100 s

T = Time period of oscillation

Time period of oscillation is given as

T = 2t

T = 2 (0.1)

T = 0.2 s

Time period is also given as

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

$0.2 = 2(3.14) \sqrt{\frac{1.10}{k}}$

k = 1084.6 N/m

v = maximum speed of the block

using conservation of energy

Maximum kinetic energy = Maximum spring potential energy

(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²

m v² = k x²

(1.10) v² = (1084.6) (0.2)²

v = 6.3 m/s

Explain in detail molecular behavior from a hot brick to a cold brick

slava [35]

Answer:

by conduction, or the transfer of energy from matter to adjacent matter by direct contact, without intermixing or flow of any material. by convection, or the transfer of energy by the bulk mixing of clumps of material. In natural convection it is the difference in density of hot and cold fluid which causes the mixing.
