A person with a remote mountain cabin plans to install her own hydroelectric plant. A nearby stream is 3.00 m wide and 0.500 m d

eep. Water flows at 1.35 m/s over the brink of a waterfall 4.20 m high. The manufacturer promises only 25.0% efficiency in converting the potential energy of the water-Earth system into electric energy. Find the power she can generate. (Large-scale hydroelectric plants, with a much larger drop, can be more efficient.)

Answer:

The power she can generate is 185.22 KW.

Explanation:

<h3><u>DATA</u></h3>

3.00m wide and 0.500m deep.

Cross sectional area = 1.500m^2

Velocity = 1.35m/s

Volumetric flow rate = Av = 18.00m^3/s

Mass flow rate = 18,000kg/s

Height = 4.20m

25.0% efficiency

<h3><u> FORMULA:</u></h3>

P = dE / dt * eff

<h3><u>SOLUTION:</u></h3>

18,000kg/s (9.8m/s^2) (4.20m) (25%) = 185,220 watts

= 185 kw

The Moon is responsible for what % of the tides that we experience?
Ivenika [448]

Answer: High tides and low tides are caused by the Moon. The Moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest from the Moon. These bulges of water are high tides.

At 7.0°c, the volume of a gas is 49 ml. at the same pressure, its volume is 74 ml at what temperature?
Rashid [163]
So i converted everything first; 
<span>7.0 C ---> 280 K </span>
<span>49 mL---> 0.049 L </span>
<span>74mL---> 0.074 L </span>
<span>THEN I tried setting it up by the combined law formula which is P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2 </span>

Why are there so few eclipses in 2014?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Because the Moon casts a smaller shadow than Earth does, eclipses of the Sun tightly constrain where you can see them. If the Moon completely hides the Sun, even for a moment, the eclipse is considered total.
