Wind and hydroelectric

Answer:

Explanation:

None of them.

Without the sun driving weather pattern, the energy from wind would be marginal at best. Without the sun, water would not evaporate from oceans and condense over high ground causing rain to fill rivers and reservoirs for hydroelectric.

Biofuels are also considered renewable. Don't work without the sun to grow crops.

Even oil and coal are products of the sun. Plants and algae living millions of years ago converted carbon dioxide into plant material that eventually got converted to these sources.

Even nuclear energy relies on star power as all elements heavier than iron must be forged in a supernova explosion. Uranium and the other fissile fuels are all heavier than Iron. Only fusion reactions, which we have used as bombs, but not for peaceful domestic purposes, produce energy without the sun or a star.

A closely wound search coil has an area of 3.21 cm2, 120 turns, and a resistance of 58.7 O. It is connected to a charge-measurin

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The magnetic field in the System is 0.095T

Explanation:

To solve the exercise it is necessary to use the concepts related to Faraday's Law, magnetic flux and ohm's law.

By Faraday's law we know that

$\epsilon = \frac{NBA}{t}$

Where,

$\epsilon =$ electromotive force

N = Number of loops

B = Magnetic field

A = Area

t= Time

For Ohm's law we now that,

V = IR

Where,

I = Current

R = Resistance

V = Voltage (Same that the electromotive force at this case)

In this system we have that the resistance in series of coil and charge measuring device is given by,

$R = R_c + R_d$

And that the current can be expressed as function of charge and time, then

$I = \frac{q}{t}$

Equation Faraday's law and Ohm's law we have,

$V = \epsilon$

$IR = \frac{NBA}{t}$

$(\frac{q}{t})(R_c+R_d) = \frac{NBA}{t}$

Re-arrange for Magnetic Field B, we have

$B = \frac{q(R_c+R_d)}{NA}$

Our values are given as,

$R_c = 58.7\Omega$

$R_d = 45.5\Omega$

$N = 120$

$q = 3.53*10^{-5}C$

$A = 3.21cm^2 = 3.21*10^{-4}m^2$

Replacing,

$B = \frac{(3.53*10^{-5})(58.7+45.5)}{120*3.21*10^{-4}}$

$B = 0.095T$

Therefore the magnetic field in the System is 0.095T

When fuel and air are compressed in the compression stroke, ...... a. each molecule of fuel is heated to its flash point b. each

alexira [117]

None of the choices is an appropriate response.

There's no such thing as the temperature of a molecule. Temperature and
pressure are both outside-world manifestations of the energy the molecules
have. But on the molecular level, what it is is the kinetic energy with which
they're all scurrying around.

When the fuel/air mixture is compressed during the compression stroke,
the temperature is raised to the flash point of the mixture. The work done
during the compression pumps energy into the molecules, their kinetic
energy increases, and they begin scurrying around fast enough so that
when they collide, they're able to stick together, form a new molecule,
and release some of their kinetic energy in the form of heat.

True/False: If an object stays still, but the observer moves, the Doppler Effect is still observered

Vladimir79 [104]

Well, Harry, what you said is not necessarily true the way you said it.
But we know what you mean, and what you meant to say is true.

The Doppler effect is observed if there is relative radial motion
between an object and an observer <em><u>AND</u></em> if the object happens
to be putting out sound or light in the observer's direction.
