<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.

Have a nice day!

A pulling force is called what?<br> A. normal<br> B. tension<br> C. balanced<br> D. compression

joja [24]

<span>There is no special name for that. Physics is usually just concerned with "forces", and doesn't specify whether the force pushes or pulls. If you want to be more specific, you can just call it a "pulling force".
I hoped this was satisfying!:)</span>

The Achilles tendon connects the muscles in your calf to the back of your foot. When you are sprinting, your Achilles tendon alt

Andrews [41]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the runner, m = 70 kg

Length of the tendon, l = 15 cm = 0.15 m

Area of cross section, $A=110\ mm^2=0.00011\ m^2$

Part A,

Let the runner's Achilles tendon stretch if the force on it is 8.0 times his weight, F = 8 mg

Young's modulus for tendon is, $Y=0.15\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2$

The formula of the Young modulus is given by :

$Y=\dfrac{F/A}{\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}}$

$0.15\times 10^{10}=\dfrac{8\times 70\times 9.8/0.00011}{\dfrac{\Delta L}{0.15}}$

$\Delta L=0.0049\ m$

Part B,

The fraction of the tendon's length does this correspond is given by :

$\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}=\dfrac{0.0049}{0.15}$

$\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}=0.0326$

Hence, this is the required solution.

If the temperature rises by 9. 9 degrees, what is the corresponding temperature increase in degrees celsius?

Yanka [14]

Main Answer:

Assume that the temperature rises by 9.9 F

Initial Temperatures will be C1, F1

Final temperatures will be C2, F1 + 9.9

The relation between celsius and fahrenheit temperature is as follows:

C = 5/9(F - 32)

Increase in temperature in celsius will be

C2 - C1 = F2 - F1

C2 - C1 = 5/9 ( F1 +9.9 -32) - 5/9 ( F1 -32)

C2 - C1 = 5/9 ( F1 +9.9 -32 - F1 +32)

C2 - C1 = 5/9 (9.9)

C2 - C1 = 5.5C

Explanation:

What is temperature?

Temperature is defined as the degree of coldness or hotness of an object or a substance. Generally, it is measured in various temperature scales. They are celsius, fahrenheit, kelvin.
