You heat your home with electricity generated by a coal-fired power plant. Because energy from the coal is lost in the productio

n and distribution of the electricity, it would be more efficient to just burn the coal in your home (although certainly less convenient!). How much less coal would you need to burn if you heated your home directly with coal, instead of using electricity generated from coal? You would need about

Well since you can only heat your home/water with it and your home stove is less efficient than say the zero-emmisions one in gillete WY. and the distribution cost placed on top of that. you would pay more than the coal-made-electricity. plus you would burn more for the same effect. and coal decomposes in oxygen so that's not EPA condoned anymore. so the answer is. . . none. its more advantageous to just use the electricity

Velocity and acceleration are both vectors; they have a direction. What is thedirection of the velocity and acceleration vectors
just olya [345]

Answer:

d. Both A & C

Explanation:

- The velocity of the ball is a vector, whose magnitude indicates its rate of change of position, and it has a direction. In this case, the ball is moving upward, therefore the direction of motion is upward, so the direction of the velocity is upward as well.

- The acceleration of the ball is a vector, whose magnitude indicates the rate of change of the velocity. The direction of the acceleration is:

-- positive if the the magnitude of the velocity is increasing

-- negative if the magnitude of the velocity is decreasing

For a ball thrown upward, the acceleration is given by the acceleration of gravity, g=9.8 m/s^2. This acceleration points downward, and it is constant during the entire motion. In particular, it does not change direction, as it is always directed downward. Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is downward.

So, the correct answer is

d.Both A & C

Since A and C are both true:

a.The velocity vector is directed upward.

c.The acceleration is directed downward.

Two atoms with different mass number but the same atomic number are called A) elements. B) ions. C) isotopes. D) nuclei.
saw5 [17]

C isotopes is the correct answer. Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, and consequently in nucleon number.All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in each atom.  

Hope this helps! :)

How many hydrogen and carbon atoms in a diamond
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Thus, total 4+4=8 C atoms are present per unit cell of diamond. Carbon has an electronic arrangement of 2,4. In diamond, each carbon shares electrons with four other carbon atoms - forming four single bonds.

What is the value of acceleration due to gravity at the pole, equator and the centre of the earth
fgiga [73]

Answer:

In combination, the equatorial bulge and the effects of the surface centrifugal force due to rotation mean that sea-level gravity increases from about 9.780 m/s2 at the Equator to about 9.832 m/s2 at the poles, so an object will weigh approximately 0.5% more at the poles than at the Equator.
