At Hoover Dam, the distance the water effectively falls before encountering the electric generators depends on the water levels

in Lake Mead. Assume that the water intakes are effectively 175 m above the electric generators. How much water must pass through the generators to power 2 million 35-W Las Vegas lightbulbs for 6.0 minutes? (HINT: This is a conservation of energy problem. All the energy comes from the falling water. Consider the electric generators to be 100% efficient.) Give your answer in kilograms, and enter your answer in the format *.**E**. kg To imagine how much water this is, recall that 1.0 kg of water occupies a volume of 1.0 liter.

Answer:

Explanation:

recall that power is energy carried out or work done per time

P=W/t

P=2*10^6*35

t=6*60=420S

W=Energy

E=2*10^6*35*360S

E=25200000000

Energy stored by water from rest is called potential energy. Since the water is falling from a height , we calculate potential energy as thus

E=M*g*h

Assume that the water intakes are effectively 175 m above the electric generators. How much water must pass through the generators to power 2 million 35-W Las Vegas light bulbs for 6.0 minutes?

M=mass of water

g=acceleration due to gravity 9.81m/s^2

h=height ,175m

25200000000=M*9.81*175

M=\frac{25200000000}{175*9.81}

M=1716.75kg

Calcular el módulo del vector resultante de dos vectores fuerza de 9 [N] y 12 [N] concurrentes en un punto o, cuyas direcciones
sdas [7]

Answer:

a) 20.29N

b) 19.43N

c) 15N

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the resultant vectors you first calculate the components of the vector for the angle in between them, next, you sum the x and y component, and finally, you calculate the magnitude.

In all these calculations you can asume that one of the vectors coincides with the x-axis.

a)

F_R=(9cos(30\°)+12)\hat{i}+(9sin(30\°))\hat{j}\\\\F_R=(19.79N)\hat{i}+(4.5N)\hat{j}\\\\|F_R|=\sqrt{(19.79N)^2+(4.5N)^2}=20.29N

b)

F_R=(9cos(45\°)+12)\hat{i}+(9sin(45\°))\hat{j}\\\\F_R=(18.36N)\hat{i}+(6.36N)\hat{j}\\\\|F_R|=\sqrt{(18.36N)^2+(6.36N)^2}=19.43N

c)

F_R=(9cos(90\°)+12)\hat{i}+(9sin(90\°))\hat{j}\\\\F_R=(12N)\hat{i}+(9N)\hat{j}\\\\|F_R|=\sqrt{(12N)^2+(9N)^2}=15N

A particle initially located at the origin has an acceleration of a=3jm/s^2 and an initial velocity of Vi=5im/s.
-BARSIC- [3]

Given the particle's acceleration is

\vec a(t) = \left(3\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\vec\jmath

with initial velocity

\vec v(0) = \left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\vec\imath

and starting at the origin, so that

\vec r(0) = \vec 0

you can compute the velocity and position functions by applying the fundamental theorem of calculus:

\vec v(t) = \vec v(0) + \displaystyle \int_0^t \vec a(u)\,\mathrm du

\vec r(t) = \vec r(0) + \displaystyle \int_0^t \vec v(u)\,\mathrm du

We have

• velocity at time <em>t</em> :

\vec v(t) = \left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\vec\imath + \displaystyle \int_0^t \left(3\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\,\vec\jmath\,\mathrm du \\\\ \vec v(t) = \left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\vec\imath + \left(3\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t\,\vec\jmath \\\\ \boxed{\vec v(t) = \left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\vec\imath + \left(3\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t\,\vec\jmath}

• position at time <em>t</em> :

\vec r(t) = \displaystyle \int_0^t \left(\left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\vec\imath + \left(3\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)u\,\vec\jmath\right) \,\mathrm du \\\\ \boxed{\vec r(t) = \left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t\,\vec\imath + \frac12 \left(3\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\,\vec\jmath}

A ball is dropped from the top of a tower 40 m high. What is its velocity when it has covered 20 m? What would be its velocity w
stellarik [79]

Given :

Height from which ball is dropped , h = 40 m .

Acceleration due to gravity , g= 10 m/s² .

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s .

To Find :

Velocity when ball covered 20 m and velocity when it hit the ground .

Solution :

Now , height when ball covered 20 m distance is , 40 - 20 = 20 m .

By equation of motion :

v^2=u^2+2gh\\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 10\times 20}\ m/s\\\\v=20\ m/s

Now , distance covered when body reaches ground is , 40 m .

Putting value h = 40 m in above equation , we get :

v=\sqrt{2\times 10\times 40}\ m/s\\\\v=20\sqrt{2}\ m/s

Hence , this is the required solution .
