One drawback of dams is that they can flood land upstream from the dam and reduce water flow downstream from the dam. Question 2

options: True False
Physics
1 answer:
vivado [14]3 years ago

Answer:

True

Explanation:

It can cause flooding and destruction of habitat because of dammed rivers create large reservoirs upstream which can spill out to the surrounding during heavy rainfall causing flooding and destruction of natural habitat.

a body of radius R and mass m is rolling horizontally without slipping with speed v. it then rolls us a hill to a maximum height
ki77a [65]

Answer:

mR²/2

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

An object of radius′

R′  and mass ′

M′  is rolling horizontally without slipping with speed ′

V′

. It then rolls up the hill to a maximum height h = 3v²/4g. The moment of inertia of the object is (g= acceleration due to gravity)

Solution

Since it rolls without slipping, there is no friction. So, its initial mechanical energy at the horizontal surface equals its final mechanical energy at the top of the hill.

Since the object is rolling initially, and on horizontal ground, it initial energy is kinetic and made up of rotational and translational kinetic energy.

So, E = K + K'

E = 1/2mv² + 1/2Iω² where m = mass of object, v = speed of object, I = moment of inertia of object and ω = angular speed of object = v/r where v = speed of object and R = radius of object.

Also, the final mechanical energy of the object, E' is its potential energy at the top of the hill. So, E' = mgh.

Since E = E',

1/2mv² + 1/2Iω² = mgh

substituting the values of ω and h into the equation, we have

1/2mv² + 1/2Iω² = mgh

1/2mv² + 1/2I(v/R)²= mg(3v²/4g)

Expanding the brackets, we have

1/2mv² + 1/2Iv²/R²= 3mv²/4

Dividing through by v², we have

1/2m + I/2R²= 3m/4

Subtracting m/2 from both sides, we have

I/2R² = 3m/4 - m/2

Simplifying, we have

I/2R² = m/4

Multiplying through by 2R², we have

I = m/4 × 2R²

I = mR²/2

A radio wave transmits 38.5 W/m2 of power per unit area. A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagati
Margaret [11]

Answer:

P=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2

Explanation:

Given that,

A radio wave transmits 38.5 W/m² of power per unit area.

A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

We need to find the radiation pressure on it. It is given by the formula as follows :

P=\dfrac{2I}{c}

Where

c is speed of light

Putting all the values, we get :

P=\dfrac{2\times 38.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\\=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2

So, the radiation pressure is 2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2.

An insulated rigid tank contains 3 kg of H2O in the form of a saturated mixture of liquid and vapor at a pressure of 150 kPa and
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

change in entropy is 1.44 kJ/ K

Explanation:

from steam tables

At 150 kPa

specific volume

Vf = 0.001053 m^3/kg

vg = 1.1594 m^3/kg

specific entropy values are

Sf = 1.4337 kJ/kg K

Sfg = 5.789 kJ/kg

initial specific volume is calculated as

v_1 = vf + x(vg - vf)

      = 0.001053 + 0.25(1.1594 - 0.001053)

v_1 = 0.20964  m^3/kg

s_1 = Sf + x(Sfg)

     = 1.4337 + 0.25 \times 5.7894 = 2.88 kJ/kg K

FROM STEAM Table

at 200 kPa

specific volume

Vf = 0.001061 m^3/kg

vg = 0.88578 m^3/kg

specific entropy values are

Sf = 1.5302 kJ/kg K

Sfg = 5.5698 kJ/kg

constant volume  sov_1 -  v_2  = 0.29064 m^3/kg

v_2 = v_1 = vf + x(vg - vf)

       =0.29064 = x_2(0.88578 - 0.001061)

x_2 = 0.327

s_2 = 1.5302 + 0.32 \times 5.5968 = 3.36035 kJ/kg K

Change in entropy \Delta s = m(s_2 - s_1)

              =3( 3.36035 - 2.88) =  1.44 kJ/kg
