A power plant burns 1000 kg of coal each hour and produces 500 kW of power. Calculate the overall thermal efficiency if each kg

of coal produces 6 MJ of energy.

Answer:

The overall thermal efficiency is 30%.

Explanation:

Given;

Output power = 500 kWh

input energy  per kg of coal = 6 MJ = 6 x 10⁶ J = 1.66667 kWh

1000 kg of coal will produce 1000 x 1.66667 kWh = 1666.67 kWh

Thus, total input power = 1666.67 kWh

Overall thermal efficiency = Total output power/Total input Power

Overall thermal efficiency = (500/1666.67) *100

Overall thermal efficiency = 0.29999 *100

Overall thermal efficiency = 30%

Therefore, the overall thermal efficiency is 30%.

If you don't wear a helmet and let's say you fell off your bike, you can severely injure your head! But if you DO wear a helmet and you fell off your bike, there's about I predict a 98% chance that you won't injure but sometimes it's 100%

hope this helps!<span />

A gymnast practices two dismounts from the high bar on the uneven parallel bars. during one dismount, she swings up off the bar
Fiesta28 [93]
Note:
The height of a high bar from the floor is h = 2.8 m (or 9.1 ft).
It is not provided in the question, so the standard height is assumed.

g = 9.8 m/s², acceleration due to gravity.
Note that the velocity and distance are measured as positive upward.
Therefore the floor is at a height of h = -2.8 m.

First dismount:
u = 4.0 m/s, initial upward velocity.
Let v = the velocity when the gymnast hits the floor.
Then
v² = u² - 2gh
v² = 16 - 2*9.8*(-2.8) = 70.88
v = 8.42 m/s

Second dismount:
u = -3.0 m/s
v² = (-3.0)² - 2*9.8*(-2.8) = 63.88 m/s
v = 7.99 m/s

The difference in landing velocities is 8.42 - 7.99 = 0.43 m/s.

Answer:
First dismount:
  Acceleration  = 9.8 m/s² downward
  Landing velocity = 8.42 m/s downward

Second dismount:
  Acceleration = 9.8 m/s² downward
  Landing velocity = 7.99 m/s downward

The landing velocities differ by 0.43 m/s.

If one replaces the conducting cube with one that has positive charge carriers, in what direction does the induced electric fiel
Grace [21]

Answer:

There will be no change in the direction of the electric field .

Explanation:

The direction will remain the same because the sign of the charges has no effect on it.

When one replaces the conducting cube with one that has positive charge carriers there will be no change in the direction of the field as there is no defined relationship between the direction of the electric field and sign of the charge.

Somewhere in the vast flat tundra of planet Tehar, a projectile is launched from the ground at an angle of 60 degrees. It reache
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

R = 0.0503 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile launching exercise, to find the range we can use the equation

       R = v₀² sin 2θ / g

How we know the maximum height

      v_{f}² =v_{oy}² - 2 g y

      v_{f}= 0

      v_{oy} = √ 2 g y

      v_{oy} = √ 2 9.8 / 15

      v_{oy} = 1.14 m / s

Let's use trigonometry to find the speed

    sin θ = v_{oy} / vo

    vo = v_{oy} / sin θ

    vo = 1.14 / sin 60

    vo = 1.32 m / s

We calculate the range with the first equation

     R = 1.32² sin(2 60) / 30

    R = 0.0503 m

The value of (997)1/3 according to binomial theorem is
postnew [5]

Answer:

9.99

Explanation:

The value of (997)^1/3

(997)^1/3

997 = (1000 - 3)

(1000 - 3)^1/3

Expanding :

[1000(1 - 3/1000)]^1/3

1000^1/3 * (1 - 3/1000)^1/3

Cube root of 1000

10 * (1 - 3/1000 * 1/3)

10 * (1 - 1/1000)

10 * (1 - 0.001)

10(0.999)

= 9.99

Hence, the value of (997)^1/3 according to binomial theorem is 9.99
