The answer is; C

In particular points in the earth’s surface, underground water is naturally heated to steam that can be harness for geothermal energy. The steam that ejects from the ground with high kinetic energy can be used to turn turbines that generate electricity. The underground water is usually heated by the hot rocks beneath that are subjected to the immense heat of magma or the enormous pressure of overlying crust.

Suppose an asteroid orbiting the sun had an orbital period of 7. 5 years. What would its orbital radius be?.

creativ13 [48]

By using the orbital period equation we will find that the orbital radius is r = 4.29*10^11 m

<h3>What is the orbital period?</h3>

This would be the time that a given body does a complete revolution in its orbit.

It can be written as:

$T = \sqrt{\frac{4*\pi ^2*r^3}{G*M} }$

Where:

π = 3.14
G is the gravitational constant = 6.67*10^(-11) m^3/(kg*s^2)
M is the mass of the sun = 1.989*10^30 kg
r is the radius, which we want to find.

Rewriting the equation for the radius we get:

$T = \sqrt{\frac{4*\pi ^2*r^3}{G*M} }\\\\r = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{T^2*G*M}{4*\pi ^2} }$

Where T = 7.5 years = 7.5*(3.154*10^7 s) = 2.3655*10^8 s

Replacing the values in the equation we get:

$r = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{(2.3655*10^8 s)^2*(6.67*10^{-11} m^3/(kg*s^2))*(1.989*10^{30} kg)}{4*3.14 ^2} } = 4.29*10^{11 }m$

So the orbital radius is 4.29*10^11 m

The water stream strikes the inclined surface of the cart. Determine the power produced by the stream if, due to rolling frictio

levacccp [35]

Answer

given,

constant speed of cart on right side = 2 m/s

diameter of nozzle = 50 mm = 0.05 m

discharge flow through nozzle = 0.04 m³

One-fourth of the discharge flows down the incline

three-fourths flows up the incline

Power = ?

Normal force i.e. Fn acting on the cart

$F_n = \rho A (v - u)^2 sin \theta$

v is the velocity of jet

Q = A V

$v = \dfrac{0.04}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2}$

$v= \dfrac{0.04}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times 0.05^2}$

v = 20.37 m/s

u be the speed of cart assuming it to be u = 2 m/s

angle angle of inclination be 60°

now,

$F_n = 1000 \times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times 0.05^2\times (20.37 - 2)^2 sin 60^0$

F n = 2295 N

now force along x direction

$F_x = F_n sin 60^0$

$F_x = 2295 \times sin 60^0$

$F_x = 1987.52\ N$

Power of the cart

P = F x v

P = 1987.52 x 20.37

P = 40485 watt

P = 40.5 kW

The loudness of a sound is determined by the __________, or height, of the sound wave.

NISA [10]

Answer: Aplitude

Explanation: Loudness depends on the amplitude,or height, of sound waves. The greater the amplitude, the louder the sound perceived. Amplitude is measured in decibels.
