What is an advantageous disadvantage of generating electricity using a hydroelectric power station rather than wind turbines ?

1 answer:

7 0

The advantages of generating electricity using a hydroelectric power station rather than wind turbines is that it's not polluting anything since it's regular water. It also can be used over and over again.

The disadvantages of using a hydroelectric power station is that it can be very deadly and cause damage to towns if it overfills or falls apart releasing all the water. Since nothing lasts forever, eventually they will break apart and would require everyone to evacuate before doing so. Another disadvantage is that it disrupts migration of animals that live in the water such as fish.

It's better than wind turbines because wind turbines require a lot of wind to turn and on days without wind, very little energy can be produced.

solong [7]

Answer:

1.6 x 10^-5 T

Explanation:

i = 4 A

r = 0.05 m

The magnetic field due to long wire at a distance r is given by

$B = \frac{\mu _{0}}{4\pi }\times \frac{2i}{r}$

B = 10^-7 x 2 x 4 / 0.05

B = 1.6 x 10^-5 T

A bag of sugar weighs 3.50 lb on Earth. What would it weigh in newtons on the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration isone-sixth

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

$F_{Earth}$ = 15.57 N

$F_{Moon}$ = 2.60 N

$F_{Uranus}$ = 16.98 N

The mass of the bag is the same on the three planets. m=1.59 kg

Explanation:

The weight of the sugar bag on Earth is:

g=9.81 m/s²

m=3.50 lb=1.59 kg

$F_{Earth}$ =m·g=1.59 kg×9.81 m/s²= 15.57 N

The weight of the sugar bag on the Moon is:

g=9.81 m/s²÷6= 1.635 m/s²

$F_{Moon}$ =m·g=1.59 kg× 1.635 m/s²= 2.60 N

The weight of the sugar bag on the Uranus is:

g=9.81 m/s²×1.09=10.69 m/s²

$F_{Uranus}$ =m·g=1.59 kg×10.69 m/s²= 16.98 N

The mass of the bag is the same on the three planets. m=1.59 kg
