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%.

A force pair is produced when a tennis racket strikes a tennis ball. Which of the following best explains why the tennis ball do
Serga [27]

Answer:

Each half of the force pair acts on a different object.

Explanation:

When a tennis racket strikes a tennis ball a pair force is produced. when the racket strikes the ball the racket exerts an action force on the tennis ball, according to Newton's third law for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction force, as a reaction the ball exert an equal and opposite force on the racket. These forces are often called pair forces.

As the forces acts on different bodies (Action force act on ball and reaction force act on racket) so the net force tennis ball is never zero.

At the end of the school day, at exactly 2:30 pm, a group of students run out of the school building and reach the edge of the s
Fofino [41]

Explanation:

Initial time, t₁ = 2:30 pm

Final time, t₂ = 2:30:45

We need to find the motion of students in terms of time. Final time is 45 seconds more than the initial time.

Change in time,

\Delta t=t_2-t_1\\\\\Delta t=2:30:45-2.30\\\\\Delta t=45\ s

Hence, this is the required solution.

A baseball of mass m = 0.49 kg is dropped from a height h1 = 2.25 m. It bounces from the concrete below and returns to a final h
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum

mv - mu , v and u are final and initial velocity during impact at surface

For downward motion of baseball

v² = u² + 2gh₁

= 2 x 9.8 x 2.25

v = 6.64 m / s

It becomes initial velocity during impact .

For body going upwards

v² = u² - 2gh₂

u² = 2 x 9.8 x 1.38

u = 5.2 m / s

This becomes final velocity after impact

change in momentum

m ( final velocity - initial velocity )

.49 ( 5.2 - 6.64 )

= .7056 N.s.

Impulse by floor in upward direction

= .7056 N.s

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Decreasing the distance between Hox and Blox, increasing the mass of Hox, or increasing the mass of Hox and Blox.

Explanation:

The gravity force is directly proportional to the mass of the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

Or

If we decrease the distance between both planets (Hox and Blox), the gravitational pull between them will increase.  

On the other hand, if we keep the distance between Hox and Blox, but we increase the mass of one of them, or increase the mass of both, the gravitational pull between them will also increase.
