<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

<h2>Why?</h2>

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.

If your weight is 120 pounds and your mass is 54 kilograms how would those values change if you were on the moon
BlackZzzverrR [31]
The gravitation acceleration on the moon is different than on Earth. It is 1.6 m/s^2. If you weigh 120 lbs, then you would multiply 120 pounds by the gravitational acceleration on the moon and then divide by the acceleration on Earth.

(120 lbs * 1.6) / 9.8 = 20 pounds.

The mass will always be the same no matter what planet you’re on, so it’s still 54 kg.

If the object represented by the FBD below has a mass of 2.5 kg, what is the acceleration of the object?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

4 m/s² down

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the net force acting on the object.

The net force acting on the object from the left and right side is zero because the same force is applied on both sides.

Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the object from the up and down side. This can be obtained as follow:

Force up (Fᵤ) = 15 N

Force down (Fₔ) = 25 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fₔ – Fᵤ

Fₙ = 25 – 15

Fₙ = 10 N down

Finally, we shall determine the acceleration of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (ml= 2.5 Kg

Net force (Fₙ) = 10 N down

Acceleration (a) =?

Fₙ = ma

10 = 2.5 × a

Divide both side by 2.5

a = 10 / 2.5

a = 4 m/s² down

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 4 m/s² down
