Answer:

B. Nuclear to Electrical

Explanation:

Atoms are split at power plants to create electricity. The energy conversion in this process is from nuclear to electrical energy.

When atoms are split, nuclear energy is released.
Some part of the mass of the atom is converted to energy.
The nuclear energy released is expressed as heat energy.
This energy is used to heat water in boilers when produces steam that are used to drive the movement of turbines.
This in turn generates electricity.

A sphere is originally at a temperature of 500°c. The sphere is melted and recast, without loss of mass, into a cube with the sa

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer: The value of the celsius temperature of the cube is 472.2°c.

Explanation:

The expression for the power radiated is as follows;

$P=A\epsilon\sigma T^{4}$

Here, A is the area, $\sigma$ is the stefan's constant, $\epsilon$ is the emissivity and T is the temperature.

It is given in the problem that A sphere is originally at a temperature of 500°c. The sphere is melted and recast, without loss of mass, into a cube with the same emissivity as the sphere.

Then the expression for the radiated power for the cube and the sphere can be expressed as;

$A_{1}\epsilon \e\sigma T_{1}^{4}=A_{2}\epsilon \e\sigma T_{2}^{4}$

Here, $A_{1}$ is the area of the sphere, $A_{2}$ is the area of the cube, $T_{1}$ is the temperature of the sphere and $T_{2}$ is the temperature of the cube.

The radiated powers and emissivity of the cube and the sphere are same.

$A_{1}T_{1}^{4}=A_{2}T_{2}^{4}$

The area of the sphere is $A_{1}=4\pi \times r^{2}$ .

Here, r is the radius of the sphere.

The area of the cube is $A_{2}=6\times a^{2}$ .

Here, a is the edge of the cube.

Put $A_{1}=4\pi \times r^{2}$ and $A_{2}=6\times a^{2}$ .

$T_{2}=T_{1}(\frac{2\pi }{3}\times (\frac{r}{a})^{2})^{\frac{1}{4}}$ ....(1)

The masses and the densities of the sphere and the cube are same. Then the volumes are also same.

$V_{1}=V_{2}$

Here, $V_{1},V_{1}$ are the volumes of the sphere and the cube.

$\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}=a^{3}$

$\frac{r}{a}=(\frac{3}{4\pi })^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Put this value in the equation (1).

$T_{2}=T_{1}(\frac{2\pi }{3}\times (\frac{r}{a})^{2})^{\frac{1}{4}}$ $T_{2}=T_{1}(\frac{2\pi }{3}\times ((\frac{3}{4\pi })^{\frac{1}{3}})^{2})^{\frac{1}{4}}$

Put T_{1}=500°c.

$T_{2}=(500)(\frac{2\pi }{3}\times (\frac{3}{4\pi })^{\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{1}{4}}$

$T_{2}=472.2^{\circ}c$

Therefore, the value of the celsius temperature of the cube is 472.7°c.

Gibbons move through the trees by swinging from successive handholds, as we have seen. To increase their speed, gibbons may brin

Sedbober [7]

By bring their legs close to their bodies, they are decreasing the length of the pendulum which help them move more quickly.

A pendulum is nothing but a body suspended from a fixed point so that it can swing back and forth under the influence of gravity.

Here in this case Gibbons are bringing their legs close to their bodies and reducing the length of the pendulum. Since as the length of the pendulum increases the speed of the movement will be reduced. By bringing their legs close to their bodies they are reducing the length and in turn their speed increase and they move quickly.
