Plants obtain their energy from light produced by the sun. sunlight is transferred from the sun to the plants through a process known as

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?

As microwave light travels through a liquid, it moves at a speed of 2.2 x 108 m/s. if the frequency of this light wave is 1.1 x 108 hz, what is the wavelength of this microwave?

Determine the moment of the force f about an axis extending between a and c. express the result as a cartesian vector. a is at the origin, c is at (4,3,0) and f = (4i + 12j -3k) lb coming out of b (4,3,-2).
