Here is how I would I explain it. Water is channeled through tunnels in the dam. The energy of water flowing through the dam’s tunnels cause turbines to turn. The turbines make generators move. Generators are machines that produce electricity. Engineers control the amount of water let through the dam. The process used to control this flow of water is called the intake system.

Hope this helps can’t do the diagram part.

A transverse wave on a string is described by the wave function
svp [43]

The period of the transverse wave from what we have here is 0.5

<h3>How to find the period of the transverse wave</h3>

The period of a wave can be defined as the time that it would take for the wave to complete one complete vibrational cycle.

The formula with which to get the period is

w = 4π

where w = 4 x 22/7

2π/T = 4π

6.2857/T = 12.57

From here we would have to cross multiply

6.2857 = 12.57T

divide through by 12.57

6.2857/12.57 = T

0.500 = T

Hence we can conclude that the value of T that can determine the period based on the question is 0.500.

A piano tuner is using a 392 Hz tuning fork to tune the wire for a G-Natural note. She hears 4 beats per second. What are the tw
inysia [295]

A beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. Frequency beat is equal to,

f_{beat} =| f_2\pm f_1 |

The reference frequency in our case would be 392Hz, and since there is the possibility of the upper and lower range for the amount of beats per second that the two possible frequencies are heard would be

f_{beat} =|392+4|= 396Hz

f_{beat} =|392-4|=388Hz

Therefore the two possible frequencies the piano wire is vibrating at, would be 396Hz and 388Hz

Which of the following is not a form of an inclined plane?
disa [49]

Answer: piece of paper cut into a triangle  

Explanation:

A plane surface lifted at an angle to horizontal from one edge is said to be an inclined plane. A wedge, a ramp or a screw are examples of a forms of inclined plane. A screw is like a inclined plane wound on a cylinder. These are simple machines. On the other hand, a piece of paper cut into a triangle is not an inclined plane as it does rise at an angle from horizontal. It is not a machine.

When does the radioactive decay of a radioisotope stop? Give one example.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

When does the radioactive decay of a radioisotope stop? Give one example. An unstable isotope continues the decay process until it reaches a stable form. One example is the decay of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14.
