Energy of fossil fuels is also derieved from solar energy

Physics

1 answer:

Marat540 [252]2 years ago

6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

All the energy in oil, gas, and coal originally came from the sun, captured through photosynthesis.for example when we burn wood to release energy that trees capture from the sun, we burn fossil fuels to release the energy that ancient plants captured from the sun. We can think of this energy as having been deposited in a natural solar power bank over millions of years.

So, in one sense, gasoline-burning cars, coal-burning power plants, and homes heated by natural gas are all solar powered!

In a shipping yard, a crane operator attaches a cable to a 1,400 kg shipping container and then uses the crane to lift the conta

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of crane $m=1400\ kg$

distance moved $d=40\ m$

Since it is moving with a constant velocity therefore net force on it is zero

Tension force=weight

T=mg

Work done by Tension T is

$W_T=T\cdot d$

$W_T=1400\times 9.8\cdot 40$

$W_T=548.8\ KJ$

Work done by Gravity will be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign and can be obtained by work energy theorem which states that change in kinetic energy of object is equal to work done by all the forces

$W_T+W_g=0$

$W_g=-548.8\ KJ$

Background information about reflection and refraction of light

KIM [24]

Answer:

reflection :

angle of reflection and angle of incidence is equal
Incident ray and reflect d ray plus normal lies on the same plan on a same point
light reflect uniformly if it is incident on a plan surface

refraction :

light will refrect if light goes from rare medium to a dense medium or vice versa
after the light is refracted, it retunes to its original direction
angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of refraction

A closed circuit is formed by a solid conductor in contact with two parallel conducting rails that are closed on their left end,

castortr0y [4]

this is an equation that you need to solve for motional emf. motional emf=vBL, where v is velocity in meters/second, B is magnetic field in Teslas and L is length or distance the rails are apart from each other. when we plug everything into the formula given above, we get: motional emf=5m/s*0.80T*0.20m. solving all this we get 0.8 volts. pretty sure that since they are giving you the direction of the field, they want to know which way the current will flow . since the conductor is moving from left to right the area of the field is increasing which means magnetic flux is increasing as Ф(magnetic flux)=B(magnetic field)*A(area)*cosФ(little phi is the angle to the normal. in this case little fee is 0 degrees so the cosФ doesn't matter). so ↑Ф=B↑A. if magnetic flux is increasing, the induced magnetic field is in the opposite direction as the original magnetic field meaning the induced magnetic field will be out of the page. using the right hand rule which says that if the field is in to the page, the current should go clockwise and if the field is out of the page, the current is counterclockwise so that means that the current should be going counter clockwise since the induced field is going out of the screen. the top of the conducting wire will have its current go to the left and the bottom of the conducting wire will have the current go to the right.

An ac generator with Em = 223 V and operating at 399 Hz causes oscillations in a series RLC circuit having R = 222 Ω, L = 147 mH

Doss [256]

Answer:

Xc= 17.267 Ω, Z= 415.5 Ω, I= 0.537 A

Explanation:

Em = 223 V

f= 300 Hz, R = 222 Ω, L = 147 mH, C = 23.1 μF

Capacitive reactance = Xc=?

Xc= $\frac{1}{2\pi fC}$

Xc=1/2pi *399*23.1*10^-6

Xc= 17.267 Ω

b).

Z= $\sqrt{ R^2 + (Xl - Xc)^2}$

Xl= 2π * f * L

Xl= 2π * 399 * 147 * $10^{-3}$

Xl= 368.5 Ω

Z= $\sqrt{ R^2 + (Xl - Xc)^2}$ = $\sqrt{222^2 + (368.5 - 17.267)^2}$

Z= 415.5 Ω

c).

Current:

I= V / Z= Em / Z

I= 223/415.5

I= 0.537 A
