Answer:

because this is where Arctic air, cold fronts that have not been "weakened". As these fronts head further east, they sometimes lose their strength as they travel over more warm air.

Two balls of equal size are dropped from the same height from the roof of a building. the mass of ball a is twice that of ball b
Sindrei [870]
The mass of ball a is twice the mass of ball b:
m_a = 2 m_b
This means that the initial potential energy of ball a (U_a = m_a gh=2 m_b gh) is twice the potential energy of ball b (U_b = m_b  g h):
U_a = 2 U_b
When the two balls reach the ground, the potential energy of each ball has converted into kinetic energy (since now their altitude is h=0), because the total mechanical energy of each ball must be  conserved. Therefore:
K_a = U_a
K_b = U_b
and so the kinetic energy of ball a must be twice the kinetic energy of ball b:
K_a = 2 K_b

a 1.2 kg rocket is launched from ground level with initial velocity of 12 m/s. What is the maximum height the rocket can reach?
Tanzania [10]

As the rocket is launched from the ground its height will go on increasing till it stops

So the height of rocket will be maximum when its speed becomes zero

so here we can use energy conservation theory

PE = KE

mgH = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

9.8*H = \frac{1}{2}*12^2

H = 7.35 m

So it will reach upto height 7.35 m

An electric power plant uses energy from burning coal to generate steam at 450∘C. The plant is cooled by 20∘C water from a nearb
Goryan [66]

Answer:

40 MJ (D)

Explanation:

Quantity of heat (Qh) = 100 MJ

temperature of steam (Th) = 450°c = 450 + 273 = 723 K

emperature of water (TI) = 20 °c = 20 + 273 = 293 k

efficiency = (Qh-Qi)/Qh = (Th-Ti)/Th

 \frac{100x10x^{6}-Qi }{100x10^{6}} = \frac{723-293}{723}

100x10^{6} - Qi= 0.5947 x 100 x 10 ^{6}

100x10^{6} - (0.5947 x 100x10^{6}) = Qi

Qi = 40.5 MJ equivalent to 40 MJ (D)
