It uses water to power large turbines.

Geothermal power taps on the energy of natural steam from the earth's lithosphere.

Explanation:

The heat from deep in the the lithosphere heats up underground water into high-pressure steam trapped in within the rocks. Boreholes are sunk to tap on the potential energy of this high-pressure steam to turn large dynamo turbines that convert the steam energy into electricity.

The biggest advantage, moreover, is the fact that this method of electricity generation does not emit greenhouse emissions as compared to gas plants that burn hydrocarbons that release CO₂.

An automobile tire is inflated with air originally at 10.0°C and normal atmospheric pressure. During the process, the air is com
solong [7]

Answer:

(a) 3.81\times 10^5\ Pa

(b) 4.19\times 1065\ Pa

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • T_1 = The first temperature of air inside the tire = 10^\circ C =(273+10)\ K =283\ K
  • T_2 = The second temperature of air inside the tire = 46^\circ C =(273+46)\ K= 319\ K
  • T_3 = The third temperature of air inside the tire = 85^\circ C =(273+85)\ K=358 \ K
  • V_1 = The first volume of air inside the tire
  • V_2 = The second volume of air inside the tire = 30\% V_1 = 0.3V_1
  • V_3 = The third volume of air inside the tire = 2\%V_2+V_2= 102\%V_2=1.02V_2
  • P_1 = The first pressure of air inside the tire = 1.01325\times 10^5\ Pa

<u>Assume:</u>

  • P_2 = The second pressure of air inside the tire
  • P_3 = The third pressure of air inside the tire
  • n = number of moles of air

Since the amount pof air inside the tire remains the same, this means the number of moles of air in the tire will remain constant.

Using ideal gas equation, we have

PV = nRT\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{PV}{T}=nR = constant\,\,\,(\because n,\ R\ are\ constants)

Part (a):

Using the above equation for this part of compression in the air, we have

\therefore \dfrac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow P_2 = \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}\times \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}\times P_1\\\Rightarrow P_2 = \dfrac{V_1}{0.3V_1}\times \dfrac{319}{283}\times 1.01325\times 10^5\\\Rightarrow P_2 =3.81\times 10^5\ Pa

Hence, the pressure in the tire after the compression is 3.81\times 10^5\ Pa.

Part (b):

Again using the equation for this part for the air, we have

\therefore \dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}=\dfrac{P_3V_3}{T_3}\\\Rightarrow P_3 = \dfrac{V_2}{V_3}\times \dfrac{T_3}{T_2}\times P_2\\\Rightarrow P_3 = \dfrac{V_2}{1.02V_2}\times \dfrac{358}{319}\times 3.81\times 10^5\\\Rightarrow P_3 =4.19\times 10^5\ Pa

Hence, the pressure in the tire after the car i driven at high speed is 4.19\times 10^5\ Pa.

Answer:

20 meters.

Explanation:

In the graph, the x-axis (the horizontal axis) represents the time, while the y-axis (the vertical axis) represents the distance.

If we want to find the distance covered in the first T seconds, you need to find the value T in the horizontal axis.

Once you find it, we draw a vertical line, in the point where this vertical line touches the graph, we now draw a horizontal line. This horizontal line will intersect the y-axis in a given value. That value is the total distance travelled by the time T.

In this case, we want to find the total distance that David ran in the first 4 seconds.

Then we need to find the value 4 seconds in the horizontal axis. Now we perform the above steps, and we will find that the correspondent y-value is 20.

This means that in the first 4 seconds, David ran a distance of 20 meters.

Which of the following statement(s) is
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), a process known as rectification. Rectifiers have many uses including as components of power supplies and as amplitude modulation detectors (envelope detectors) of radio signals. Rectifiers are most commonly made using solid state diodes but other type of components can be used when very high voltages or currents are involved. When only a single diode is used to rectify AC (by blocking the negative or positive portion of the waveform), the difference between the term diode and the term rectifier is simply one of usage. The term rectifier describes a diode that is being used to convert AC to DC. Most rectifier circuits contain a number of diodes in a specific arrangement to more efficiently convert AC power to DC power than is possible with only a single diode.
