In a natural gas power plant, natural gas is burned to heat steam, which turns a turbine. What energy conversion is happening in
Irina18 [472]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is A. Chemical energy to heat energy to kinetic energy to electrical energy.

<h2>Why?</h2>

Let's check the energy conversion given in the statement:

Chemical energy: Chemical energy is usually obtained from a natural resource combustion. For this particular case is the result of natural gas combustion.

Heat energy: Heat energy comes from chemical reactions such as natural gas combustions.

Kinetic energy: Kinetic energy is obtained by turbines transforming the pressurized steam on mechanical movement. Turbines are formed by a turbine that absorbs the heat energy to do mechanical work and transmit it to an output rotating shaft.

Electrical energy: Electrical energy is generated by gas turbines when the rotating output shaft is connected to an electrical generator. Electrical generators use mechanical energy to generate electrical energy by using electromagnetic induction. Electrical generators are basically formed by a rotor and a stator.

Have a nice day!

Given a block of glass that is semi-circular, a laser pointer, protractor/ruler, and index card, design your own experiment to o
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

Explanation:

To design the experiment of measuring the critical angle, we describe the phenomenon, when the light passes from a medium with a higher refractive index to one with a lower index, it separates from the normal one and the Critical Angle is defined as the Angle for which the refraction occurs at 90º

            n₂ sin θ₂ = n₁ sin 90

           n₁ / n₂ = sin θ₂

As we can see, we have to measure the angle with which the laser touches the exit surface of the glass block.

Design of the experiment:

    We place the glass block on the ramp and at the top we hit the conveyor for half the angle, we climb the block on the ramp and see that the angle of incidence of lightning on the exit face changes, part of the beam comes out of the glass , we see it by dispersion in the particles of dirty in the air; Maybe the conveyor or the laser should be moved slightly so that the beam touches the point of origin on the conveyor.

   

   When we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

when the direction of the Current changes.

Explanation:

Electromagnet refers to an iron ore wrapped around with a coil of wire, in presence of electric current. As it acts like a magnet, when current is passed through it.

The north & south poles of magnetic fields produced by such magnet, change with direction of current passed through it.

Wolves are a keystone species because they are _____. at the top of the food chain are physically the largest animal in the food
enot [183]

Answer:

Wolves are a keystone species because they are so important to the ecosystem that their removal causes a catastrophic disequilibrium.

Explanation:

Wolves are the predators available in the environment but they exist in relatively less number while comparing it with another species of animals. Wolves influence their pray which are influenced by plants. Thus, They are so important to the ecosystem that their removal causes a catastrophic disequilibrium.
