Answer:
To increase the volume of moving water, impoundments or dams are used to collect the water. An opening in the dam uses gravity to drop water down a pipe called a penstock. The moving water causes the turbine to spin, which causes magnets inside a generator to rotate and create electricity.

Answer:
15
Explanation:
The question is essentially asking 30% of 50.
to get 30 percent you first need to find out 10 percent.
10 percent is calculated by dividing 50 by 10, giving you 5.
you then need to get 30 percent from the 10 percent just calculated.
to do so, you need to times 10 percent by 3, therefore have to time 5 buy 3, leaving you with 15
A, the statement is incorrect
1110 atm
Let's start by calculating how many cm deep is 36,000 feet.
36000 ft * 12 in/ft * 2.54 cm/in = 1097280 cm
Now calculate how much a column of water 1 cm square and that tall would mass.
1097280 cm * 1.04 g/cm^3 = 1141171.2 g/cm^2
We now have a number using g/cm^2 as it's unit and we desire a unit of Pascals ( kg/(m*s^2) ).
It's pretty obvious how to convert from g to kg. But going from cm^2 to m is problematical. Additionally, the s^2 value is also a problem since nothing in the value has seconds as an unit. This indicates that a value has been omitted. We need something with a s^2 term and an additional length term. And what pops into mind is gravitational acceleration which is m/s^2. So let's multiply that in after getting that cm^2 term into m^2 and the g term into kg.
1141171.2 g/cm^2 / 1000 g/kg * 100 cm/m * 100 cm/m = 11411712 kg/m^2
11411712 kg/m^2 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 111834777.6 kg/(m*s^2) = 111834777.6 Pascals
Now to convert to atm
111834777.6 Pa / 1.01x10^5 Pa/atm = 1107.2750 atm
Now we gotta add in the 1 atm that the atmosphere actually provides (but if you look closely, you'll realize that it won't affect the final result).
1107.274 atm + 1 atm = 1108.274 atm
And finally, round to 3 significant figures since that's the accuracy of our data, giving 1110 atm.
