The water that powers the generators enters and leaves the system at a low speed (thus we can neglect its change of kinetic ener

gy) and loses 160 m of altitude during the process. What is the water flow required, in cubic meters per second, to produce this power, assuming 83.5 % efficiency?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let density of water be ρ .

During flow , volume of water flowing per second is constant

loss of P. E per unit volume  = ρ gh , 83.5 % is lost

Gain of K E per unit volume = 1/2  ρ v²

83.5 % of mgh =   ρ 1/2  ρ v²

1/2  ρ v² =  .835 x 9.8

v² =  2 x .835 x 9.8

= 16.366

v = 4.04 m /s

Answer:

  1. Alarm Clock. The buzzing sound of an alarm clock helps you wake up in the morning as per your schedule. The sound is something that you can’t see, but hear or experience.
  2. Cell Phones Cellphones have become like Oxygen gas in modern social life. Hardly, anyone would have been untouched by the effects of a cell phone. Whether conveying any urgent message or doing incessant gossips, cellphones are everywhere. But do you know how does a cell phone work? It works on the principle of electricity and the electromagnetic spectrum, undulating patterns of electricity and magnetism.
  3. Walking.Now, when you get ready for your office/school, whatever medium of commutation is, you certainly have to walk up to a certain distance. You can easily walk is just because of Physics. While you have a walk in a park or on a tar road, you have a good grip without slipping because of a sort of roughness or resistance between the soles of your shoes and the surface of the road.

Explanation:

physical is related to things perceived through the senses as opposed to the mind; tangible or concrete.

A particle travels clockwise on a circular path of diameter​ R, monitored by a sensor on the circle at point​ P; the other endpo
kotykmax [81]

We make a graphic of this problem to define the angle.

The angle we can calculate through triangle relation, that is,

sin\theta = \frac{c}{QP}\\sin\theta = \frac{c}{R}\\\theta=sin^{-1}\frac{c}{R}

With this function we should only calculate the derivate in function of c

\frac{d\theta}{dc} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{c^2}{R^2}}}(\frac{c}{R})'\\\frac{d\theta}{dc} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2-c^2}}

That is the rate of change of \theta.

b) At this point we need only make a substitution of 0 for c in the equation previously found.

\frac{d\theta}{dc}\big|_{c=0} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2-0}}\\\frac{d\theta}{dc}\big|_{c=0} = \frac{1}{R}

Hence we have finally the rate of change when c=0.

A dentist causes the bit of a high-speed drill to accelerate from an angular speed of 1.10 104 rad/s to an angular speed of 3.14
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

3.63 s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the equivalent SUVAT equations for the angular motion.

To find the angular acceleration, we can use the following equation:

\omega_f^2 - \omega_i ^2 =2 \alpha \theta

where

\omega_f = 3.14\cdot 10^4 rad/s is the final angular speed

\omega_i = 1.10 \cdot 10^4 rad/s is the initial angular speed

\theta= 2.00 \cdot 10^4 rad is the angular distance covered

\alpha is the angular acceleration

Re-arranging the formula, we can find \alpha:

\alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}=\frac{(3.14\cdot 10^4 rad/s)^2-(1.10\cdot 10^4 rad/s)^2}{2(2.00\cdot 10^4 rad)}=2.16\cdot 10^4 rad/s^2

Now we want to know the time the bit takes starting from rest to reach a speed of \omega_f=7.85\cdot 10^4 rad/s. So, we can use the following equation:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}

where:

\alpha=2.16\cdot 10^4 rad/s^2 is the angular acceleration

\omega_f = 7.85\cdot 10^4 rad/s is the final speed

\omega_i = 0 is the initial speed

t is the time

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the time:

t=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\alpha}=\frac{7.85\cdot 10^4 rad/s-0}{2.16\cdot 10^4 rad/s^2}=3.63 s

A person is standing on a level floor. His head, upper torso, arms, and hands together weigh 458 N and have a center of gravity
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

the location of the center of gravity for the entire body is 1.08 m

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

w1 = 458 N, y1 = 1.34 m

w2 = 120 N, y2 = 0.766 m

w3 = 89.8 N, y2 = 0.204 m

The location arrangement of the body part is vertical, locate the overall centre of gravity by simply replacing the horizontal position x by the vertical position y as measured relative to the floor.

so,

Y_{centre of gravity} = (w1y1 + w2y2 + w3y3 ) / ( w1 + w2 + w3 )

so we substitute in our values

Y_{centre of gravity} = (458×1.34 + 120×0.766 + 89.8×0.204 ) / ( 458 + 120 + 89.8 )

Y_{centre of gravity} = 723.9592 / 667.8

Y_{centre of gravity} = 1.08 m

Therefore, the location of the center of gravity for the entire body is 1.08 m
