Answer:
1.) Check the explanation for the answer
2.) 10 MJ
Explanation:
Given that a coal power plant station generates electricity at night when it is not needed. Some of this energy is stored by pumping water up to a mountain lake. When there is high demand for electricity, the water is allowed to flow back through a turbine to generate electricity.1- Write down the forms of initial and final energy transfer.
Solution.
The initial conversion will be :
Chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy.
The final conversion will be :
Mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy. While the electrical energy is converted to light energy.
2- On one occasion, 2000 kg of water is pumped up through a vertical height of 500 m. Calculate the gravitational potential energy. (g= 10 m/s^2)
The gravitational potential energy can be calculated by using the formula
Energy = mgh.
Where
M = mass
H = height
g = acceleration due to gravity
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
Potential Energy = 2000 × 500 × 10
Potential energy = 10000000 Joule
Potential energy = 10 MJ
3 bar. 1 bar normal air pressure and 2 bar for being 20 m underwater
Answer:
88.1 N
Explanation:
As shown in the free body diagram attached to the question, the only forces acting on the inner block include in the required vertical direction.
- Its Weight.
- Frictional forces as a result of the Two compression forces.
If the block is not to slip off, the weights must match the two frictional forces
Let the compressive forces be F and frictional force be Fr
Fr = μ F
Sum of force acting on the inner block in the y-direction
Fr + Fr - W = 0
μ F + μ F = mg
2 μF = 118
2(0.67) F = 118
F = 118/1.34
F = 88.1 N
Each of the compression forces is 88.1 N
Hope this Helps!!!
False. The closest galaxy known to us is the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy which is 236,000,000,000,000,000 km (25,000 light years) from the Sun.
Answer:
Explanation:
Energy of system of charges
= k q₁q₂ / r₁₂ + k q₁q₃ / r₁₃ + k q₃q₂ / r₃₂
q₁ , q₂ and q₃ are charges and r₁₂ , r₁₃ , r₃₂ are densities between them
9 x 10⁹ ( 2x2 x10⁻¹²/ .25 + 2x2 x10⁻¹²/ .25 + 2x2 x10⁻¹²/ .25 )
= 9 x 10⁹ x 3 x 16 x 10⁻¹²
= 432 x 10⁻³
= .432 J .
