Describe two ways in which electricity can be produced using tides

Physics

deff fn [24]3 years ago

The first way is to use the kinetic energy from tides to drive turbines directly, like using wind to drive windmills

The second is to use the potential energy associated with tides. When it is high tide, the barrage (dam) is lowered so water enters. When the tide starts to recede as it transitions to low tide, the barrage is brought back up so that it will drive the turbines as the water recedes.

The velocity of sound in air at 300C is approximately :

kumpel [21]

The velocity of sound in at 300C is 511.3 m/s.

Explanation:

The equation that gives the speed of sound in ar as a function of the air temperature is the following:

$v=(331.3+0.6T) m/s$

where

T is the temperature of the air, measured in Celsius degrees

In this problem, we want to find the speed of sound in ar for a temperature of

$T=300^{\circ}C$

Substituting into the equation, we find:

$v=331.3 + 0.6(300)=511.3 m/s$

So, the velocity of sound in at 300C is 511.3 m/s.

How much heat must be removed from 456 g of water at 25.0°C to change it into ice at - 10.0°C?

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

229,098.96 J

Explanation:

mass of water (m) = 456 g = 0.456 kg

initial temperature (T) = 25 degrees

final temperature (t) = - 10 degrees

specific heat of ice = 2090 J/kg

latent heat of fusion =33.5 x 10^(4) J/kg

specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg

for the water to be converted to ice it must undergo three stages:

the water must cool from 25 degrees to 0 degrees, and the heat removed would be Q = m x specific heat of water x change in temp

Q = 0.456 x 4186 x (25 - (-10)) = 66808.56 J

the water must freeze at 0 degrees, and the heat removed would be Q = m x specific heat of fusion x change in temp

Q = 0.456 x 33.5 x 10^(4) = 152760 J

the water must cool further to -10 degrees from 0 degrees, and the heat removed would be Q = m x specific heat of ice x change in temp

Q = 0.456 x 2090 x (0 - (-10)) = 9530.4 J

The quantity of heat removed from all three stages would be added to get the total heat removed.

Q total = 66,808.56 + 152,760 + 9,530.4 = 229,098.96 J

A photon detector captures a photon with an energy of 4.29 ✕ 10−19 J. What is the wavelength, in nanometers, of the photon?

serious [3.7K]

Answer : The wavelength of photon is, $4.63\times 10^{2}nm$

Explanation : Given,

Energy of photon = $4.29\times 10^{-19}J$

Formula used :

$E=h\times \nu$

As, $\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

So, $E=h\times \frac{c}{\lambda}$

where,

$\nu$ = frequency of photon

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of photon = ?

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$4.29\times 10^{-19}J=(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times \frac{(3\times 10^{8}m/s)}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=4.63\times 10^{-7}m=4.63\times 10^{-7}\times 10^9nm=4.63\times 10^{2}nm$

Conversion used : $1nm=10^{-9}m$

Therefore, the wavelength of photon is, $4.63\times 10^{2}nm$

Which does not describe the relationship between the nucleus and the electron cloud of an atom?

Margaret [11]

Choices 'a', 'c', and 'd' are true.

In choice 'b', I'm not sure what it means when it says that masses
are 'balanced'. To me, masses are only balanced when they're on
a see-saw, or on opposite ends of a rope that goes over a pulley.

Maybe the statement means that the mass of the nucleus and the
mass of the electron cloud are equal. This is way false. It takes
more than 1,800 electrons to make the mass of ONE proton or
neutron, and the most complex atom in nature only has 92 electrons
in it. So there's no way that the masses of the nucleus and the electrons
in one atom could ever be anywhere near equal.
