Answer:

The answer is A. Biomass.

Explanation:

Biomass Energy is obtained from organic compounds through natural processes. It is a source of clean energy and with few residues that are also biodegradable. Also, it occurs continuously as a result of human activity. Its yield is lower than that of fossil fuels, but it still has the same consequences as fossil fuels, since it produces gases, such as carbon dioxide, which increase the greenhouse effect.

The correct answer is <span>(a) biomass

Biomass is carbon based just like coal and oil which are bad because they're fossil fuels. However, unlike them, biomass is renewable, which is good, but is also bad for the environment.</span>

Greeley [361]

Answer:

C. 590 mph

\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph

Explanation:

Given:

  • velocity of jet, v_j=500\ mph
  • direction of velocity of jet, east relative to the ground
  • velocity of Cessna, v_c=150\ mph
  • direction of velocity of Cessna, 60° north of west

Taking the x-axis alignment towards east and hence we have the velocity vector of the jet as reference.

Refer the attached schematic.

So,

\vec v_j=500\ \hat i\ mph

&

\vec v_c=150\times (\cos120\ \hat i+\sin120\ \hat j)

\vec v_c=-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph

Now the vector of relative velocity of Cessna with respect to jet:

\vec v_{cj}=\vec v_j-\vec v_c

\vec v_{cj}=500\ \hat i-(-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j )

\vec v_{cj}=575\ \hat i-75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph

Now the magnitude of this velocity:

\vert v_{cj}\vert=\sqrt{(575)^2+(75\sqrt{3} )^2}

\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph is the relative velocity of Cessna with respect to the jet.

What is meant by "steam distillation"? choose the correct option from below.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

b is the correct option.

Explanation:

Steam distillation is a distillation in which water is added to the mixture being distilled so that water and the organic compounds vaporize, condense and are collected together. This process is applied for the purification of those materials specially the organic materials which are temperature sensitive. The normal boiling method can not be implemented as these materials starts to decompose on high temperatures. This method has got a lot of applications in industries like petrolium refineries and the oil extraction from some plants etc.

Match the following:
joja [24]

Explanation:

1. study of conversion of heat to mechanics → thermodynamics

A branch of physical science which deals with heat and other forms of energy.

2. The Law of Conservation of Energy  → first Law of Thermodynamics

Energy cannot be created nor be destroyed. According to first law of thermodynamics total energy of the system is always constant.

3. Result of applied energy  → work

Work is the way of system to release its energy.

4. Principle that states that in any energy transformation some energy is dissipated as heat  → Second Law of Thermodynamics

5. energy of motion  → kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is defined as energy possessed by the body due to its motion.

6. work/displacement  → force

Work is product of force and displacement.

Work=Force \times displacement

Force=\frac{Work}{displacement}

7. power · time  → energy

Power is defined energy per unit time.

Power=\frac{Energy}{Time}

Energy=Power\times Time

8. Device that transforms heat energy into mechanical energy →  heat engine

heat engine is a device which converts the heat energy which is released due to combustion of fuel into a useful work that is mechanical energy.

9 . Energy due to position  → potential energy

Potential energy is defined as energy possessed by the body due to its position.

10. efficiency of a heat engine unit of heat  → calorie

11. Measure of molecular motion  → Temperature

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature.

Greater the motion more will be the kinetic energy and with more will be the temperature.

12. Heat given off by a liquid with no change in temperature  → latent heat of fusion

Latent heat of fusion is defined as heat released by 1 mole of substance when it under goes phase change that is from solid to liquid.

13. Motion within solids  → vibrational motion

Vibrational motion is the motion in which particle oscillates from its mean position.

14. Phase of matter on the sun → plasma

Plasma is hot ionized gas with equal number of positive and negative ions. Due to high temperature of sun most the gas are in the plasma state.
