Almost all of the electricity that people use is produced by

Physics
1 answer:
alina1380 [7]3 years ago
8 0
Almost all the electricity used by people is produced by the 3 forms of power plants, namely fossil, hydro, and nuclear. Fossil fuel power plants burn carbon fuels such coal, oil or gas to generate steam that drives large turbines to produce electricity. Hydro power plants generate electricity by storing water in big reservoirs behind large dams. Water from the dams flows through turbines to generate electricity. Nuclear power plants use the heat produced by nuclear fission to generate steam that drives turbines, like in fossil fuel plants.

A tennis ball is served horizontally from 2.4m above the ground at net is 12m away and point 0.9 high will be ball clear the net
Schach [20]

Explanation:

Let us first calculate  long does it take to go 12m at 30m/s( assumed speed)

12/30 = 0.4 seconds

horizontal distance the ball drop in that time

H= (0)(0.4)+1/2(-9.8)(0.4)2

H= -0.78m

negative sign shows that the height of the ball at the net from the top.

Height of the ball at the net and from the ground= H1-H=2.4-0.78=1.62m

As 1.62m>0.9m so the ball will clear the net.

H_1= V0y t’ + ½ g t’^2

-2.4= (0)t’ + ½ (-9.8) t’^2

t’= 0.69s

X’=V0x t’

X’=(30)(0.96)

X’= 20.7m

Name the material used to transfer of charges from one body to other​
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

conductor

Explanation:

A "conductor" is a material that allows the charges to pass freely from one body to the other. This causes a movement among the electrons and this means that<em> the charge will be passed entirely to the object receiving it.</em> This is also called <em>"conductive material."</em>

Examples of conductors are: <em>copper, aluminum, gold, silver, seawater, etc.</em>

The opposite of conductors are called "insulators." These do not allow the free movement of charges from one object to the other.

Examples of insulators: <em>plastic, rubber, paper, glass, wool, dry air, etc.</em>

Check all that are true about waterfalls
Lerok [7]
Waterfalls are created when a river flows following a descending rapid slope. The waterfall, then, flows from the source (where it starts) to the mouth (where it ends).
Waterfalls are created when the erosion of the rocks at the bottom of the slope is more powerful than the erosion of the rocks on the top.
After many years the water is able to erode the rocks on the top as well, and the waterfall slowly disappears.

Therefore the options that apply are:
b) waterfalls move towards their mouth;
c) the top or cap rock is resistant to erosion;
<span>f) waterfalls indicate a youthful river </span>

Assuming there are no accidents or delays, the distance that a car travels down the interstate
Ganezh [65]

Explanation:

The distance that a car travels down the interstate  can be calculated with the following formula:

Distance = Speed x Time

(A) Speed of the car, v = 70 miles per hour = 31.29 m/s

Time, d = 6 hours = 21600 s

Distance = Speed x Time

D = 31.29 m/s × 21600 s

D = 675864 meters

or

D=6.75\times 10^5\ m

(b) Time, d = 10 hours = 36000 s

Distance = Speed x Time

D = 31.29 m/s × 36000 s

D = 1126440 meters

or

D=1.12\times 10^6\ m

(c) Time, d = 15 hours = 54000 s

Distance = Speed x Time

D = 31.29 m/s × 54000 s

D = 1689660 meters

or

D=1.68\times 10^6\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
