They make electricity by directing the flow of water past turbines causing them to spin. When the turbines spin it creates a current in the wire, electricity.


Good Luck! Hope I helped:)

A spring, having an unstretched length of 2ft, has one end attached to the 10lb ball. determine the angle ? of the spring if the
Ganezh [65]
The angle theta of the spring is 31 degrees. To solve for this, show the equation which is equal to the 10lb ball. With this, the unknown will be the angle. Then transpose/transfer the terms in order to isolate the variable for the angle. First solve for s, then solve for angle theta. You will come up with s = .5849 ft and angle theta = 31.2629 or 31 degrees. Hope this helps.

Mathematically, explain how a car (A) with mass of 500 kg and velocity of 2 m/s has the same kinetic energy as a car (B) with ma
scoray [572]

Answer:

<em>Both kinetic energies are equal</em>

Explanation:

<u>Kinetic Energy </u>

Is the type of energy of an object due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the mass and the square of the speed.

The equation for the kinetic energy is:

\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where:

m = mass of the object

v = speed of the object

The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)

There are two cars:

Car (A) with mass ma=500 kg and speed va= 2 m/s

Car (B) with mass mb=20,000 gr and speed vb= 10 m/s

Calculate the kinetic energy of both cars:

\displaystyle K_a=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a^2

\displaystyle K_a=\frac{1}{2}500*2^2

\displaystyle K_a=250*4=1,000 J

To calculate the Kb, the mass must be expressed in kg:

mb=20,000/1,000 =20 Kg

\displaystyle K_b=\frac{1}{2}m_bv_b^2

\displaystyle K_b=\frac{1}{2}20*10^2

\displaystyle K_b=10*100=1,000 J

Both kinetic energies are equal

A water pipe is inclined 40.0° below the horizontal. The radius of the pipe at the upper end is 2.00 cm. If the gauge pressure a
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

P_2 = -1.9 \times 10^8 Pa

Explanation:

As it is given that flow rate in the pipe is 20 cm^3/s

so we have

Q = A_1v_1 = A_2v_2

at the upper end the area is given as

A_1 = \pi r_1^2

A_1 = \pi(0.02)^2 = 1.26 \times 10^{-3} cm^2

Also at the other end

A_2 = \pi r_2^2

A_2 = \pi(0.01)^2 = 0.314 \times 10^{-3} cm^2

now the speed at two ends is given as

v_1 = \frac{20}{1.26 \times 10^{-3}}

v_1 = 159.15 m/s

v_2 = \frac{20}{0.314 \times 10^{-3}}

v_2 = 637 m/s

now by Bernoulli's theorem we have

P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 + \rho g h_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 + \rho g h_2

now we have

0.112(1.013 \times 10^5) + \frac{1}{2}1000(159.15)^2 + 1000(9.81)(2.65sin40) = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}(1000)(637)^2 + 0

Now we have

P_2 = -1.9 \times 10^8 Pa
