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

A person swims to the other end of a 20m long pool and back. What is their displacement?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

It is given that,

A person swims to the other end of a 20m long pool and back.

We need to find his displacement.

Displacement = shortest path covered

He reaches at the same position as from where he has started. It means the shortest path covered is equal to 0 i.e. his displacement is zero.

Earth's core is the source of the energy that drives the movement of tectonic
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

B. Convection

D. Conduction

Explanation:

Conduction and convection are the two most prominent processes that helps transfer energy outward to the earth's crust.

  • Energy within the core is a function of the radioactive decay and frictional heating.
  • Also, heat that accreted during the formation of the earth is a significant source of internal energy.
  • The heat is conducted away by the process of convection. This is possible due to temperature differences between different parts of the earth
  • Conduction is made made possible due to the metallic bodies in the core and other part of the inner earth.

If an atom has an atomic number of 2, it will be stable with 2 electrons in its valence shell. Group of answer choices True Fals
torisob [31]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or the number of electrons that are present in an electrically neutral atom.

Atomic number = Number of protons = number of electrons = 2

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electronic configuration will be 1s^2

As its duplet is already complete and it has noble gas configuration , it is stable with 2 valence electrons.

Can someone help me on no. 6
liq [111]

Efficiency = (energy that does the job) / (total energy used)

               =                               (45 J)  /  (120J)

I think you can handle the division.
