Which type of energy releases greenhouse gases when used to make electricity?

Physics
1 answer:
Bumek [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Natural gas

Explanation:

Nuclear is from splitting atoms in a nuclear power plant and doesn't emit GHG.

Hydroelectric is a clean energy which powered by water currents in turn not emitting any GHG.

Geothermal is heat captured from underneath the surface and within Earth and doesn't have GHG once the contruction of putting pipes underground is done.

Natural gas once burned emits GHG.

A dipole is located at the origin, with charges +3 nC and -3 nCseparated by 4 μm. Consider a spherical Gaussian surfacecentered
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )  

The Gaussian surface must  have contained both the charges like +3 nC and - 3 nC , total charges being zero . According the Gauss's law , total electric flux over a closed surface is equal to 1 / ε₀ times the total charge contained inside the closed surface .

Since total charge inside is zero , total flux will be 1 /  ε₀ x 0 = 0

b )

In this case the Gaussian surface is so small that it contains only the charge

+ 3 nC .

So electric flux over the Gaussian surface

= (  1 /  ε₀ ) x 3 x 10⁻⁹

= (1 / 8.85 x 10⁻¹² ) x 3 x 10⁻⁹

= 3 x 10³ / 8.85

= 339 weber.

The length of a wooden rod is 25.5 cm. What is this length in:<br>(a) millimetres?<br>(b) metres?​
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

(a)255mm \\ (b)0.255m

Explanation:

(a)1cm = 10mm \\ 25.5cm = x

Cross multiply

1x = 25.5 \times 10 \\ x = 255mm

(b)100cm = 1m \\ 25.5cm = x

cross multiply

100x = 25.5 \\  \frac{100x}{100}  =  \frac{25.5}{100}  \\ x = 0.255m

hope this helps

brainliest appreciated

good luck! have a nice day!

When a 2.60-kg object is hung vertically on a certain light spring described by Hooke's law, the spring stretches 2.86 cm. (a) W
Goryan [66]

Answer:

a)  k = 891.82 N/m

b) e = 0.0143 m = 1.43 cm

c) W = 5.02 J

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass = 2.60 kg

the spring stretches 2.86 cm = 0.0286

Step 2: What is the force constant of the spring?

Force constant, k = force applied / extension produced  

k = (2.60kg * 9.81N/kg) / 0.0326 m

k = 891.82 N/m

b)  If the 2.60-kg object is removed, how far will the spring stretch if a 1.30-kg block is hung on it

Extension = F/k = (1.30 kg * 9.81) / 891.82 =  0.0143 m = 1.43 cm

Half the mass means half the extension

c) How much work must an external agent do to stretch the same spring 7.50 cm from its unstretched position?

W = average force used * distance

W = 1/2 * k*e * e = 1/2 k*e²  

W = 1/2 * 891.82 * (0.075)² = W = 5.02 J
