The formula for Kinetic Energy is:

KE = 1/2mv^2

So, KE = 1/2(500)(10)^2

KE = 1/2(500)(100)

KE = 1/2(50000)

KE = 25,000 J

Hydroelectricity provides about 7 percent of the electricity generated in the united states. (a) explain how a hydroelectric pow
aivan3 [116]

a. A dam is usually built at the site of hydroelectric power. As water accumulates, its potential power for producing electric power increases. As this water moves downstream from the dam, mostly through a fall, its kinetic energy is harnessed by turbines and converted to electric energy.


b. One factor is the height of the fall of the water from the dam. The higher the height the higher the kinetic energy of the water and hence can be converted to higher electric energy. The higher the number of coils of the turbine generator being rotated by the water, the higher the conversion to electric current.


c. One is impoundment. This type is the most common and involves the building of a dam to store water and later the water is released to turn turbines. The second type is diversion. This type does not require a dam. Some water is diverted from the main river to create a pen-stock that runs a turbine.


d. The advantage of hydroelectric power is that is is a clean energy source hence does not cause global warming. Global warming can have economic consequences. The operating cost of this type of plant is low hence the costs of electricity are able to be kept low for the consumers. 2 disadvantage is that creating a dam upstream causes a change in the physical and chemical characteristics of the river or water bodies affecting ecosystems. Another is that electricity is dependent on the water regime hence dependency is tied to climate.

A fluid moves through a tube of length 1 meter and radius r=0.002±0.0002 meters under a pressure p=4⋅105±1750 pascals, at a rate
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The  maximum error is  \Delta  \eta  = 2032.9

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The length  is  l  =  1\ m

      The radius is  r =  0.002 \pm  0.0002 \ m

        The pressure is  P  =  4 *10^{5} \ \pm 1750

        The  rate  is  v =  0.5*10^{-9} \ m^3 /t

       The viscosity is  \eta  =  \frac{\pi}{8} * \frac{P *  r^4}{v}

The error in the viscosity is mathematically represented  as

       \Delta  \eta  = | \frac{\delta \eta}{\delta P}| *  \Delta  P   +    |\frac{\delta \eta}{\delta r} |*  \Delta  r +  |\frac{\delta \eta}{\delta v} |*  \Delta  v

   Where  \frac{\delta \eta }{\delta P} =  \frac{\pi}{8} *  \frac{r^4}{v}

and         \frac{\delta \eta }{\delta r} =  \frac{\pi}{8} *  \frac{4* Pr^3}{v}

and          \frac{\delta \eta }{\delta v} =  - \frac{\pi}{8} *  \frac{Pr^4}{v^2}

So  

             \Delta  \eta  = \frac{\pi}{8} [ |\frac{r^4}{v}  | *  \Delta  P   +    | \frac{4 *  P * r^3}{v}  |*  \Delta  r +  |-\frac{P* r^4}{v^2}  |*  \Delta  v]

substituting values

            \Delta  \eta  = \frac{\pi}{8} [ |\frac{(0.002)^4}{0.5*10^{-9}}  | *  1750   +    | \frac{4 *  4 *10^{5} * (0.002)^3}{0.5*10^{-9}}  |*  0.0002 +  |-\frac{ 4*10^{5}* (0.002)^4}{(0.5*10^{-9})^2}  |*  0 ]

  \Delta  \eta  = \frac{\pi}{8} [56  +  5120 ]

   \Delta  \eta  = 647 \pi

    \Delta  \eta  = 2032.9

Leftover planetesimals that formed in the region of the solar system now occupied by the jovian planets are called
rewona [7]

Answer:

Comets

Explanation:

Comets are planetary celestial bodies consisting of ice and dust, sometimes rocky particles  formed in the region of the solar system. Long-period comets propagate towards the Sun by gravitational perturbations caused by passing stars. Some comets usually hyberbolic comets, move through the inner Solar System  prior to entering the interstellar region. Short period comet lies beyond the orbit of the Neptune.

The Jovian planets include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Therefore, leftovers of comets (planetesimal bodies) formed in the region of the solar system that are now occupied by the Jovian planets is due to the dusty particles  associated with the comets.
