marin [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are 4 forces. These are 1) Gravity, 2) Weak Nuclear Force, 3) Electromagnetism, and 4) Strong Nuclear Force. 

Order of strength from weakest to strongest: Gravity, Weak Nuclear Force, Electromagnetism, Strong Nuclear Force

Type of Range:

Gravity - Unlimited range

Weak Nuclear Force - Limited range

Electromagnetism - Infinite range

Strong Nuclear Force - Limited Range

Found in:

Gravity - Exists between all objects with mass

Weak Nuclear Force - Governs over beta decays like the emission of electron or positron

Electromagnetism - the attraction found between particles that are electrically charged

Strong Nuclear Force - Found in atoms and subatomic particles. It is responsible for holding the atoms' nucleus together.

A heater has a resistance of 10.0 Ω. It operates on a 12.0 V. What is the current through the resistor?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

1.2 amps :)

Explanation:

A heater has a resistance of 10.0 Ω. It operates on a 12.0 V. What is the current through the resistor?

         Known:

  • R = 10.0 Ω                            
  • V = 12.0 V

       Unknown:

  • I = ???

I = V/R

= 12.0 V / 10.0 Ω

= 1.2 amps

The statement "Good locations for turbines are limited" describes a drawback to wind energy.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Wind energy is one of the most useful and efficient renewable energy sources. But nothing is ideal in this universe and the same thing applies for wind energy also. The generation of electricity from wind energy requires setting up of turbines.

And these turbines can be set up in plane areas which is free from any disturbance except wind flow. In open area and flat plane surface only the turbines can rotate freely with the effect of wind.

But regions where the wind flow is minimum due to snow formation like the northern region of earth, the turbines cannot be set up there. So the locations for setting up of turbines are limited for good outcome in wind energy. This is one of the drawback of wind energy.
