A spring scale measures weight because <span>It works by Hooke's Law, which states that the force needed to extend a </span>spring<span> is proportional to the distance that </span>spring<span> is extended from its rest position. Therefore, the </span>scale<span> markings on the </span>spring<span> balance are equally spaced. A </span>spring scale<span> can</span>not measure mass<span>, only </span>weight<span>. hope that helped</span>

When the Glen Canyon hydroelectric power plant in Arizona is running at capacity, 690 m3 of water flows through the dam each sec
bixtya [17]

Answer:

1340.2MW

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem follow the steps below!

1 finds the maximum maximum power, using the hydraulic power equation which is the product of the flow rate by height by the specific weight of fluid

W=αhQ

α=specific weight for water =9.81KN/m^3

h=height=220m

Q=flow=690m^3/s

W=(690)(220)(9.81)=1489158Kw=1489.16MW

2. Taking into account that the generator has a 90% efficiency, Find the real power by multiplying the ideal power by the efficiency of the electric generator

Wr=(0.9)(1489.16MW)=1340.2MW

the maximum possible electric power output is 1340.2MW

A force of 20. Newtons to the left exerted on a cart for 10. Seconds. For what period of time must a 50.-newton force to the rig
FinnZ [79.3K]
Impulse = (force) x (time)

The first impulse was (20 N) x (10 sec) = 200 meters/sec

The second one is (50 N) x (time) and we want it equal to the first one, so

(50 N) x (time) = 200 meters/sec

Divide each side by 50N :    Time = 200/50 = <em>4 seconds</em>

By the way, the quantity we're playing with here is the cart's <em>momentum</em>.

A car of mass m, traveling at constant speed, rides over the top of a round hill. How do the normal force of the road on the car
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The normal force will be lower than the gravitational force acting on the car. Therefore the answer is N < mg, which is <em>option B</em>.

Explanation:

Over a round hill, the centripetal force acting toward the the radius of the hill supports the gravitational force (mg) of the car. This notion can be expressed mathematically as follows:

At the top of a round hill

Normal force = Gravitational force - centripetal force

At the foot of a round hill

Normal Force = centripetal force + Gravitational force
