Answer : The disadvantage of using hydropower is Land can be flooded, displacing people and wildlife

Explanation :

Hydropower is a renewable source of energy. In hydropower, electricity is generated using the mechanical energy of moving water.

Since the kinetic energy is necessary to move the turbines, it is essential that the hydropower plant is present near a water source which has moving water.

It is the most efficient way of harnessing the energy from naturally available energy sources. It does not produce any waste. It does not pollute water or air.

Since hydropower needs kinetic energy of moving water, there is always a possibility of nearby land getting flooded. This would affect the people and wildlife of nearby areas.

Therefore the disadvantage of using hydropower is that land can be flooded, displacing people and wildlife

Which equation correctly relates kinetic energy mass and velocity
jolli1 [7]

Answer: The equation for kinetic energy is \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by the virtue of object's motion. It is defined as the work needed to move a body of a given mass from rest to its velocity.

Mathematically,

K.E.=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

m = mass of the body

v = velocity of the body.

Hence, above equation relates kinetic energy to the mass and velocity of the body.

<h2>Question no 1:</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option A which is Sarah is correct because genetic diversity occurs over a long period of time.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Genetic diversity is a large number of allelic combinations for a trait in specie in a population.
  • Genetic diversity is caused due to mutations or random breeding in a specie.
  • It is good for the adaptation of specie in an environment, due to diverse in genotypes and phenotype of a trait.
<h2>Question number 2:</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option B which is the species will adapt to the changes.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Adaptation to an environment means changing your body in such a way to reduce the harmful affects of changing the environment on the body.
  • For example, the long and thick fur of sheeps in a snowy area will protect them from cold.
  • If the environment changes, the first thing a specie do is an adaptation to that change in the environment.
<h2>Question 3.</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option D which is, "The spines of a cactus protect it from animals".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Adaptation to an environment means changing your body in such a way to reduce the harmful affects of changing the environment on the body.
  • For example, the long and thick fur of sheeps in a snowy area will protect them from cold.
  • So the plant of cactus was in danger due to animals. So the start growing spines in response to animals.
  • Hence the correct answer is option D.
<h2>Question 4.</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option B which is, "Marie's plant will lean toward the sun so that it can get the most sunlight".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The plant will lean towards the sun light by the mechanism of phototropism.
  • Phototropism is the mechanism of growth of the plant in a specific direction in the response of light.
  • There are two types of phototropism.
  • One is a positive phototropism in which plant grows towards the light.
  • The other is negative phototropism in which plant grows away from the light.
  • In this question,the plant will do positive tropism.
<h2>Question no. 5</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option B which is, "The dodo bird could not adapt quickly to the challenges of the environment".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Adaptation to an environment means changing your body in such a way to reduce the harmful affects of changing the environment on the body.
  • For example, the long and thick fur of sheeps in a snowy area will protect them from cold.
  • So the dodo could not adopt to the environment. For the positive adaption of survival, they should be afraid of sailors but the would not afraid of a sailor.
  • Due to which they went extinct.

RSB [31]

Answer:

C.) A generator transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy with the help of static electricuty

Example:

they convert mechanical or chemical energy into electrical energy. They do this by capturing the power of motion and turning it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit.
