Answer:

D) True. the protostar rotates more quickly.

Explanation:

If the system is isolated, the angular momentum must be retained.

Initial

        L₀ = I w₀

Final

       L_{f} = I_{f}  w_{f}

      L₀ = L_{f}

      I w₀ = I_{f}w_{f}

     w_{f}  = I /I_{f} w₀

In general, the radius of the cloud decreases significantly to form the star, the moment of inertia must decrease, so the angular velocity must increase

Let's examine the answers

A) False. The opposite happens

B) False. Speed ​​changes

C) False. For this there must be an external force, which does not exist

D) True. You agree with the above

When the Glen Canyon hydroelectric power plant in Arizona is running at capacity, 690 m3 of water flows through the dam each sec
igomit [66]

Answer:

The maximum electric power output is P_{max} =1.339*10^{9} \ W

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

        The capacity of the hydroelectric plant is \frac{V}{t}   =  690 \ m^3 /s

         The level at which water is been released is h  =  220 \ m

        The efficiency is  \eta  =0.90

       

The electric power output is mathematically represented as

       P  = \frac{PE_l - PE _o}{t}

Where  PE_l is the potential energy at  level h which is mathematically evaluated as  

          PE_l  =  mgh

and  PE_o  is  the potential energy at ground level which is mathematically evaluated as  

          PE_o  =  mg(0)

         PE_o  =  0

So  

         P  = \frac{mgh}{t}

here  m  =   V *  \rho

where V is volume  and  \rho is density of water whose value is  \rho = 1000 kg/m^3

 So  

         P  = \frac{(\rho * V) * gh}{t}

        P  = \frac{V}{t} * gh \rho

substituting values  

       P  =690 * 9.8 * 220 * 1000

      P  =1.488*10^{9} \ W

The maximum possible electric power output is

           P_{max} = P * \eta

substituting values  

         P_{max} =1.488*10^{9} * 0.90

         P_{max} =1.339*10^{9} \ W

Mamont248 [21]

Solution

distance travelled by Chris

\Delta t=\frac{1}{3600}hr.

X_{c}= [(\frac{21+0}{2})+(\frac{33+21}{2})+(\frac{55+47}{2})+(\frac{63+55}{2})+(\frac{70+63}{2})+(\frac{76+70}{2})+(\frac{82+76}{2})+(\frac{87+82}{2})+(\frac{91+87}{2})]\times\frac{1}{3600}

=\frac{579.5}{3600}=0.161miles

Kelly,

\Delta t=\frac{1}{3600}hr.

X_{k}=[(\frac{24+0}{2})+(\frac{3+24}{2})+(\frac{55+39}{2})+(\frac{62+55}{2})+(\frac{71+62}{2})+(\frac{79+71}{2})+(\frac{85+79}{2})+(\frac{85+92}{2})+(\frac{99+92}{2})+(\frac{103+99}{2})]\times\frac{1}{3600}

=\frac{657.5}{3600}

\Delta X=X_{k}-X_{C}=0.021miles
