Answer:

$2.68\cdot 10^8 MJ$

Explanation:

The power is related to the energy by

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where

P is the power

E is the energy

t is the time elapsed

The power of this nuclear power planet is

$P=3100 MW = 3.1\cdot 10^9 W$

The time we are considering is 1 day, which is

$t = 1 d = 86400 s$

So we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the energy produced by the power plant in one day:

$E=Pt =(3.1\cdot 10^9 W)(86400 s)=2.68\cdot 10^{14} J=2.68\cdot 10^8 MJ$

Difference between kilogram and kilometre in points

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Kilogram(kg) is the SI unit for mass while kilometre(km) is a unit for length. They are both similar in that they are 10^3 of a unit, thus kilo. As kilogram represents mass, it is a measure of how much matter is present in an object. While kilometre is a measure of distance/how long or short an object is.

A 3.1 kg ball is dropped from the top of a 38 m tall building. What is the speed of the ball when it is halfway from the buildin

Archy [21]

Answer:

19.3m/s

Explanation:

Use third equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2gh$

where v is the velocity at halfway, u is the initial velocity, g is gravity (9.81m/s^2) and h is the height at which you'd want to find the velocity

insert values to get answer

$v^2-0^2=2(9.81m/s^2)(38/2)\\v^2=9.81m/s^2 *38\\v^2=372.78\\v=\sqrt[]{372.78} \\v=19.3m/s$

Where does current flows maximum in? series connection or parallel connection?

notsponge [240]

Current flow depends on other things in addition to the circuit configuration. If the SAME voltage is applied to some arrangement of the SAME components, the greatest current will occur when they are all in parallel.

A satellite is put into an orbit at a distance from the center of the Earth equal to twice the distance from the center of the E

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

995 N

Explanation:

Weight of surface, w= 4000N

Gravitational constant, g, is taken as 9.81 hence mass, m of surface is W/g where W is weight of surface

m= 4000/9.81= 407.7472

Using radius of orbit of 6371km

The force of gravity of satellite in its orbit, $F=\frac {GMm}{(2r)^{2}}=\frac {GMm}{4(r)^{2}}$
