Explanation :

A hydroelectric dam is used to produce electricity. The transformation of energy that is associated with a hydroelectric dam is :

Since the water is falling from a height so at that point the potential energy of water converts into kinetic energy. The turbine attached is used to convert the energy in the water to mechanical energy.

Finally, the mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy with the help of a generator.

Hence, the correct option is (B) " gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy into mechanical energy into electrical energy ".

A certain type of bird lives in two regions of a state. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the northern region

Annette [7]

Answer: (a) Z-score are 1 and -1.2 for northern and southern regions, respectively.

Explanation: Z-score is how many standard deviations a data is from the population mean or how far a data point is from the mean.

The z-score is calculated by the following:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

where

x is the data point

μ is population mean

σ is standard deviation

For the northern region birds:

μ = 10, σ = 3, x = 13

$z=\frac{13-10}{3}$

z = 1

The z-score for birds living in the northern region is 1, which means it is 1 standard deviation above the mean.

For the southern region:

μ = 16, σ = 2.5, x = 13

$z=\frac{13-16}{2.5}$

z = -1.2

The z-score for southern living birds is -1.2, meaning it is 1.2 standard deviations below the mean.

A long, thin rod parallel to the y-axis is located at x = - 1 cm and carries a uniform positive charge density λ = 1 nC/m . A se

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The electric field at origin is 3600 N/C

Solution:

As per the question:

Charge density of rod 1, $\lambda = 1\ nC = 1\times 10^{- 9}\ C$

Charge density of rod 2, $\lambda = - 1\ nC = - 1\times 10^{- 9}\ C$

Now,

To calculate the electric field at origin:

We know that the electric field due to a long rod is given by:

$\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda }{2\pi \epsilon_{o}{R}$

Also,

$\vec{E} = \frac{2K\lambda }{R}$ (1)

where

K = electrostatic constant = $\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_{o} R}$

R = Distance

$\lambda$ = linear charge density

Now,

In case, the charge is positive, the electric field is away from the rod and towards it if the charge is negative.

At x = - 1 cm = - 0.01 m:

Using eqn (1):

$\vec{E} = \frac{2\times 9\times 10^{9}\times 1\times 10^{- 9}}{0.01} = 1800\ N/C$

$\vec{E} = 1800\ N/C$ (towards)

Now, at x = 1 cm = 0.01 m :

Using eqn (1):

$\vec{E'} = \frac{2\times 9\times 10^{9}\times - 1\times 10^{- 9}}{0.01} = - 1800\ N/C$

$\vec{E'} = 1800\ N/C$ (towards)

Now, the total field at the origin is the sum of both the fields:

$\vec{E_{net}} = 1800 + 1800 = 3600\ N/C$

A square loop of wire is held in a uniform 0.24 T magnetic field directed perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The length of

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field of 0.24T

B = 0.24T

Field perpendicular to plane i.e 90°

Rate of decrease of length of side of square is 5.4cm/s

dL/dt = 5.4cm/s = 0.054m/s

Since it is decreasing

Then, dL/dt = -0.054m/s

When L is 14cm, what is the EMF induced?

L = 14cm = 0.14m

EMF is give as

ε = - dΦ/dt

Where flux is given as

Φ = BA

Where A is the area of the square

A = L²

Then, Φ = BL²

Substituting this into the EMF

ε = - dΦ/dt

ε = - d(BL²)/dt

B is constant

ε = - Bd(L²)/dt

ε = -2BL dL/dr

ε = -2 × 0.24 × 0.14 × -0.054

ε = 3.63 × 10^-3 V

ε = 3.63mV
