Answer:

As a type of thermal power station, a coal-fired power station converts chemical energy stored in coal successively into thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally, electrical energy. The coal is usually pulverized and then burned in a pulverized coal-fired boiler.Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity.

In one cycle, a heat engine takes in 1000 J of heat from a high-temperature reservoir, releases 600 J of heat to a lower-tempera

Talja [164]

Answer:

η = 40 %

Explanation:

Given that

Qa ,Heat addition= 1000 J

Qr,Heat rejection= 600 J

Work done ,W= 400 J

We know that ,efficiency of a engine given as

$\eta=\dfrac{W(net)}{Q(heat\ addition)}$

Now by putting the values in the above equation ,then we get

$\eta=\dfrac{400}{1000}$

η = 0.4

The efficiency in percentage is given as

η = 0.4 x 100 %

η = 40 %

Therefore the answer will be 40%.

An escalator and an elevator can transport a person from one floor to the next. the escalator does it in 15 s and the elevator t

ad-work [718]

Answer:

The escalator does more work and the elevator has a greater power output.

Explanation:

The escalator does more work on the person because it is carrying them up. It also gives the person a chance to walk up the escalator making it a little more challenging than using just an elevator. The elevator has a greater power output because it can transport a person from one floor to another in just 10 seconds where as the escalator can do it in 15.

Hope this helps!

A robot is on the surface of Mars. The angle of depression from a camera in the robot to a rock on the surface of Mars is 13.69

ra1l [238]

Answer:

The distance between the camera and the rock is 836.6 cm

Explanation:

A right triangle is formed where the hypotenuse (h) is the distance between the rock and the camera. One of the leg (l) is the distance between the camera and the surface. The angle between the hypotenuse and this leg is α = 90° - 13.69° = 76.31°. By definition:

cos α = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(76.31) = 198.0/h

h = 198.0/cos(76.31)

h = 836.6 cm

Two large thin metal plates are parallel and close to each other. On their inner faces, the plates have excess surface charge of

wariber [46]

Answer:

For left = 0 N/C

For right = 0 N/C

At middle = $-7.6836 * 10^{-11} \vec{i}$ N/C

Explanation:

Given data :-

б = $6.8 * 10^{-22}$ C/ m²

Considering the two thin metal plates to be non conducting sheets of charges.

Electric field is given by

$E = \frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon }$

1) To the left of the plate

$\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+ (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(\vec{i})$ = 0 N/C.

2) To the right of them.

$\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+ (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(\vec{i})$ = 0 N/C.

3) Between them.

$\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+ (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})$ = $(\frac{\sigma }{\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})$ = $-\frac{6.8 * 10^{-22} }{8.85 * 10 ^{-12} } \vec{i}$ = $-7.6836 * 10^{-11} \vec{i}$ N/C
