Describe two ways in which electricity can be produced using tides

1 answer:

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.

A feather is dropped onto the surface of the moon. How far will the feather have fallen if it reaches the surface in 9.00 second

Natali5045456 [20]

The feather's vertical position $y$ is determined by

$y=\dfrac12g_{\text{moon}}t^2$

We take the feather's starting position to be the origin, and the downward direction to be positive. Then

$y=\dfrac12\left(1.63\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(9.00\,\mathrm s\right)^2=66.0\,\mathrm m$

so the answer is D.

How long does it take to raise the temperature of the air in a good-sized living room (3.00m×5.00m×8.00m) by 10.0∘C? Note that t

QveST [7]

Answer : The time required is, 16.1 minutes.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the amount of heat required to increase the temperature is:

$Q=mC\Delta T\\\\Q=\rho VC\Delta T$

$(m=\rho V)$

where,

Q = amount of heat required = ?

m = mass

$\rho$ = density of air = $1.20kg/m^3$

V = volume of air

C = specific heat of air = $1006J/kg^oC$

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $10.0^oC$

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

$Q=\rho VC\Delta T$

$Q=(1.20kg/m^3)\times (3.00m\times 5.00m\times 8.00m)\times (1006J/kg^oC)\times (10.0^oC)$

$Q=1.449\times 10^6J$

Now we have to calculate the time required.

Formula used :

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

where,

t = time required = ?

Q = amount of heat required = $1.449\times 10^6J$

P = power = 1500 W

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

$t=\frac{1.449\times 10^6J}{1500W}$

$t=966s\times \frac{1min}{60s}=16.1min$

Thus, the time required is, 16.1 minutes.
