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:)

An acorn with a mass of 0.300 kilograms falls from a tree. What is its kinetic energy when it reaches a velocity of 5.oo m/s?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: 3.75 joules

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of acorn = 0.300 kilograms

velocity = 5.oo m/s

Kinetic energy = ?

Since, kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, its value depends on the mass M and velocity V of the acorn.

Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2

= 1/2 x 0.300kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.5 x 0.3kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.15 x (5.00m/s)^2

= 3.75 joules

Thus, the kinetic energy of the falling acorn is 3.75 joules

Put the following events in the order they occurred to lead to the formation of the solar system:
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Third → First → Second → Fourth

Explanation:

Initially helium and Hydrogen in abundance started to form atoms

Following the atoms formation by hydrogen and helium bombardment of new matter into the Earth took place.

The bombardment of matter resulted in separation of Earth into respective layers based on the weight of the matter.

A primitive ocean was created as a result of off gassing of the volcanoes.

Two 800 cm^3 containers hold identical amounts of a monatomic gas at 20°C. Container A is rigid. Container B has a 100 cm^2 pis
Vikki [24]

Answer:

1) Final Temperature of the gas in A will be GREATER than the temperature in B

2) Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below

3) The Initial  pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters

4) the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³

Explanation:

Given that;

Temperature = 20°C = 293 K

mass of piston = 10 kg

Area = 100cm³

Volume V = 800 cm³ = 0.8 L

ideal gas constant R = 8.3 J/K·mol

1)

Final Temperature of the gas in A will b GREATER than the temperature in B

2)

Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below,

3)

Initial  pressures in containers A and B

PV = nRT

P = RT/V

we substitute

P = (8.3 × 293) /  0.8

P = 2431.9 / 0.8

P = 3039.87 J/liters

Therefore, The Initial  pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters

4)

Given that;

power = 25 W

time t = 15s

the final volume of container B = ?

we know that;

work done = power × time

work done = 25 × 15 = 375

Also work done = P( V₂ - V₁ )

so we substitute

375 = 3039.87 ( V₂ - 0.8 )

( V₂ - 0.8 ) = 375 / 3039.87

V₂ - 0.8 = 0.12336

V₂ = 0.12336 + 0.8

V₂ = 0.92336 Litres

V₂ = 923.36 cm³

Therefore, the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³

A small object begins a free-fall from a height of =81.5 m at 0=0 s . After τ=2.20 s , a second small object is launched vertica
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

33.23 m

Explanation:

At the point where both objects will meet, the vertical height will be equal.

From the equations of motion, the vertical height of the body falling at any time is given as

(y - y₀) = ut + ½gt²

y = vertical height at any time T

y₀ = initial height of the object = 81.5 m

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s (body was dropped)

g = -9.8 m/s²

(y - 81.5) = 0 - 4.9T²

y = 81.5 - 4.9T² (eqn 1)

For an object thrown up, the vertical height of the body at any time, t, is given as

(y - y₀) = ut + ½gt²

y = vertical height of the object at any time t

y₀ = initial height of the object = 0 m

u = initial velocity = 40 m/s

g = -9.8 m/s²

y = 40t - 4.9t² (eqn 2)

At the point where the two objects meet, we equate eqn 1 and eqn 2

y = y

81.5 - 4.9T² = 40t - 4.9t²

But T = (t + 2.2) (Since object 2 was dropped 2.2 s after object 1)

81.5 - 4.9(t + 2.2)² = 40t - 4.9t²

81.5 - 4.9(t² + 4.4t + 4.84) = 40t - 4.9t²

81.5 - 4.9t² - 21.56t - 23.716 = 40t - 4.9t²

81.5 - 21.56t - 23.716 - 40t = 0

57.784 = 61.56t

t = (57.784/61.56) = 0.93866 = 0.94 s

Therefore, the vertical height at t = 0.93866 s is

y = (40×0.93866) - 4.9(0.93866²) = 33.23 m

Hope this Helps!!!

The half-life of a certain isotope is 15 minutes. How much of a 400 g sample will remain after 90 minutes?12.5 g6.25 g26.7 g66.7
Virty [35]

There is a total of 6 half lives that need to take place.


ONE HALF LIFE = 200

TWO HALF LIFES = 100

THREE HALF LIFES  = 50

FOUR HALF LIFES = 25

FIVE HALF LIFES = 12.5

SIX HALF LIFES = 6.25


The answer is 6.25g
