An electrical power plant manages to send 88% of the heat produced in the burning of fossil fuel into the water-to-steam convers

ion. Of the heat carried by the steam, 40% is converted to the mechanical energy of the spinning turbine. Which of the following choices best describes thvall efficiency of the heat-to-work conversion in the plant (as a percentage)?
A. less than 40%
B. exactly 147%
C. 64%
D. greater than 88%
E. 40%

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Let the x represent the amount of heat generated from the fossil fuel.

88% of x = 0.88 x

0.88 x was used to convert water to steam.

heat carried by steam = 40% × 0.88 x = 0.352 x

efficiency of the heat -to- work conversion = work output / work input = 0.352 x / x = 0.352 × 100 = 35.2 % which is less than 40 %

A fan that is rotating at 960 rev/s is turned off. It makes 1500 revolutions before it comes to a stop. a) What was its angular
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

α = 1930.2 rad/s²

Explanation:

The angular acceleration can be found by using the third equation of motion:

2\alpha \theta=\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2

where,

α = angular acceleration = ?

θ = angular displacement = (1500 rev)(2π rad/1 rev) = 9424.78 rad

ωf = final angular speed = 0 rad/s

ωi = initial angular speed = (960 rev/s)(2π rad/1 rev) = 6031.87 rad/s

Therefore,

2\alpha(9424.78\ rad) = (0\ rad/s)^2-(6031.87\ rad/s)^2\\\\\alpha = -\frac{(6031.87\ rad/s)^2}{(2)(9424.78\ rad)}

<u>α = - 1930.2 rad/s²</u>

<u>negative sign shows deceleration</u>

A car moving with an intial velocity of 60m/s is brought to rest in 30 seconds calculate the acceleration
gregori [183]

Answer:

a = 2 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the expressions of kinematics, we must bear in mind that when a body is at rest its velocity is zero.

v_{f} = v_{i} - (a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 60 [m/s]

a = desacceleration [m/s^2]

t = time = 30 [s]

Note: the negative sign of the above equation means that the car is slowing down, i.e. its speed decreases.

0 = 60 - (a*30)

a = 2 [m/s^2]

Can you please help me with these
Goryan [66]

if i am correct it should be that an atom is made up of three smaller particles and those particles i can see you have written down -Protons which are positive, Neutrons which are neutral and electrons which are negative the neutrons and protons are heavier and stay in the middle of the atom which is called the nucleus hope this helps!!

A wave has a wavelength of 10 mm and a frequency of 4 hertz to what is it’s speed ?
nordsb [41]

Convert 10mm to metres = 0.01m

Wave speed = frequency *wavelength
= 4Hz*0.01m
= 0.04 m/s

Hope this helps
