Some dams are designed to make electricity. How do dams make electricity?

1 answer:

4 0

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 student standing on a stationary skateboard tosses a textbook with a mass of mb = 1.35 kg to a friend standing in front of him

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

a) $u_c=0\ m.s^{-1}$ & $m_c.v_c=m_b.v_b\times \cos\theta$

b) $v_c=0.0566\ m.s^{-1}$

c) $p_e=2.9218\ kg.m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the book, $m_b=1.35\ kg$

combined mass of the student and the skateboard, $m_c=97\ kg$

initial velocity of the book, $v_b=4.61\ m.s^{-1}$

angle of projection of the book from the horizontal, $\theta=28^{\circ}$

velocity of the student before throwing the book:

Since the student is initially at rest and no net force acts on the student so it remains in rest according to the Newton's first law of motion.

$u_c=0\ m.s^{-1}$

where:

$u_c=$ initial velocity of the student

velocity of the student after throwing the book:

Since the student applies a force on the book while throwing it and the student standing on the skate will an elastic collision like situation on throwing the book.

$m_c.v_c=m_b.v_b\times \cos\theta$

where:

$v_c=$ final velcotiy of the student after throwing the book

$m_c.v_c=m_b.v_b\times \cos\theta$

$97\times v_c=1.35\times 4.61\cos28$

$v_c=0.0566\ m.s^{-1}$

Since there is no movement of the student in the vertical direction, so the total momentum transfer to the earth will be equal to the momentum of the book in vertical direction.

$p_e=m_b.v_b\sin\theta$

$p_e=1.35\times 4.61\times \sin28^{\circ}$

$p_e=2.9218\ kg.m.s^{-1}$

A piano tuner is using a 392 Hz tuning fork to tune the wire for a G-Natural note. She hears 4 beats per second. What are the tw

inysia [295]

A beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. Frequency beat is equal to,

$f_{beat} =| f_2\pm f_1 |$

The reference frequency in our case would be 392Hz, and since there is the possibility of the upper and lower range for the amount of beats per second that the two possible frequencies are heard would be

$f_{beat} =|392+4|= 396Hz$

$f_{beat} =|392-4|=388Hz$

Therefore the two possible frequencies the piano wire is vibrating at, would be 396Hz and 388Hz

The instantaneous emf resulting from magnetic induction equals the rate of change of flux is

katen-ka-za [31]

Lenz's Law: The polarity of the induced emf is such that it produces a current whose magnetic field opposes the change in magnetic flux through the loop.
