The purpose of a nuclear power plant is to transform nuclear energy to electricity. this is done in steps starting with a nuclea

r reaction which generates heat to produce steam. the steam in turn is used to turn a generator which finally produces electricity. which answer best illustrates these energy transformation.
A. nuclear --> mechanical --> chemical --> electrical
B. thermal --> nuclear --> mechanical --> electrical

A planet orbits a start with the path shown below.
kvv77 [185]

PART a)

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by the formula

U = -\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r}

here we can see that gravitational potential energy inversely varies with the distance

so here when distance from the sun is minimum then magnitude of gravitational potential energy is maximum while since it is given with negative sign so its overall value is minimum at that position

So gravitational potential energy is minimum at the nearest point and maximum at the farthest point

PART b)

Since we know that sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is constant here

so the points of minimum potential energy is the point where kinetic energy is maximum which means speed is maximum

So here speed is maximum at the nearest point

Part C)

since gravitational potential energy inversely varies with distance so it's graph will be like hyperbolic graph with distance

When an object moves, stops moving, changes speed, or changes direction, how do scientists describe that condition?
lorasvet [3.4K]
Drop "moves" from the list for a moment.

You can also drop "stops moving", because that's included in "changes speed"
(from something to zero).

When an object changes speed or changes direction, that's called "acceleration".

I dropped the first one from the list, because an object can be moving,
and as long as it's speed is constant and it's moving in a straight line,
there's no acceleration.

I think you meant to say "starts moving". That's a change of speed (from zero
to something), so it's also acceleration.

An electric immersion heater is put at the bottom of a large tank of water. The water next to the heater becomes warm
djyliett [7]

Answer:

when the water is heated with immersion heater, the water becomes less dense due to which the warm water rises up and the cooler water fills it's space.
