In the Niagara Falls hydroelectric generating plant, the energy of falling water is converted into electricity. The height of th

e falls is about 52 meters. Assuming that the energy conversion is highly efficient, approximately how much energy is obtained from one kilogram of falling water? Therefore, approximately how many kilograms of water must go through the generators every second to produce a megawatt of power (106 watts)?

Answer:

1960.32306 kg/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of water = 1 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height from which the water will fall

Potential Energy

PE=mgh\\\Rightarrow PE=1\times 9.81\times 52\\\Rightarrow PE=510.12\ J

One megawatts of power is required

So, flow rate

\dotm=\frac{P}{PE}\\\Rightarrow \dotm=\frac{1\times 10^6}{510.12}\\\Rightarrow \dotm=1960.32306\ kg/s

1960.32306 kg/s is required to produce a megawatt of power

Describe how the number of photoelectrons emitted from a metal plate in the photoelectric effect would change if the following o
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

a) True. The number of photoelectrons is proportional to the amount (intensity) of the incident beam. From the expression above we see that threshold frequency cannot emit electrons.

b)   λ = c / f

Therefore, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and therefore the energy of the photoelectrons emitted,

c)  threshold energy

        h f =Ф

Explanation:

It's photoelectric effect was fully explained by Einstein by the expression

       Knox = h f - fi

Where K is the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, f the frequency of the incident radiation and fi the work function of the metal

a) True. The number of photoelectrons is proportional to the amount (intensity) of the incident beam. From the expression above we see that threshold frequency cannot emit electrons.

b) wavelength is related to frequency

         λ = c / f

Therefore, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and therefore the energy of the photoelectrons emitted, so there is a wavelength from which electrons cannot be removed from the metal.

c) As the work increases, more frequency radiation is needed to remove the electrons, because there is a threshold energy

pickupchik [31]
In a real system of levers, wheels, or pulleys, the AMA is less than the IMA because of friction. 
AMA (Actual mechanical advantage) is found by dividing output force by effort force. The actual mechanical advantage will always be less than the ideal mechanical advantage. The ideal mechanical advantage assumes perfect efficiency which doesn't account for friction, while actual mechanical advantage does. Therefore; the IMA is always greater than the actual mechanical advantage because all machines must overcome friction.
