Answer:

1340.2MW

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem follow the steps below!

1 finds the maximum maximum power, using the hydraulic power equation which is the product of the flow rate by height by the specific weight of fluid

W=αhQ

α=specific weight for water =9.81KN/m^3

h=height=220m

Q=flow=690m^3/s

W=(690)(220)(9.81)=1489158Kw=1489.16MW

2. Taking into account that the generator has a 90% efficiency, Find the real power by multiplying the ideal power by the efficiency of the electric generator

Wr=(0.9)(1489.16MW)=1340.2MW

the maximum possible electric power output is 1340.2MW

How is a net electric charge produced?​
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Net charge produce due to presence of different chargers in the vicinity or in the considered region.

Explanation:

Net electric charge is just a concept introduce to identify the result of the presence of number of charges which interact with each other. It can be found by treating electric chargers in algebraic form like numbers, where +charges get added with +charges

-charges get added with -charges

and when adding two charges with opposite signs they get subtracted and the symbol of the resultant charge comes from the charge with highest magnitude.

You apply a force of 500 N to 150 N/m. how much does it stretch? Show the equation you are using, plus the values into the equat
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

3.33m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force applied  =500N

Elastic constant  = 150N/m

Unknown:

Amount of stretch or extension  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem use the expression below:

    F  = k e

F is the force applied

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension

  So;

           500  = 150 x e

             e  = \frac{500}{150}    = 3.33m

If a star is moving away from you at a constant speed, how do the wavelengths of the absorption lines change as the star gets fa
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

they stay shifted the same amount to the red

Explanation:

Redshift is given by

z=\dfrac{\lambda_o-\lambda_e}{\lambda_e}

Where,

\lambda_o = Wavelength observed

\lambda_e = Wavelength emitted

Also

Transverse redshift is given by

1+z=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}}

v = Velocity of object

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

So, if the velocity is constant the redshift remains the same

Which is the correct interpretation of the formula mgf2? the lattice contains 1 magnesium atom for every 2 fluorine atoms. the l
mixer [17]

Answer: the lattice contains 1 magnesium ion for every 2 fluoride ions.

MgF_2  is an ionic compound. It contains positive ions of Magnesium and  and negative ions of Fluorine. To balance the +2 positive charge of one magnesium ion, two (-1) negatively charged Fluorine ions are present. Hence, The correct interpretation of MgF_2  is that the lattice contains 1 Magnesium ion for every 2 Fluoride ions.
