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

Explain: Is it possible to convert milliliters to liters? How about milliliters to grams?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

yes, it is possible

Explanation:

To convert milliliters to liters, we divide by 1000.

To convert milliliters to grams, we multiply the volume (in ml) by the density (in g).

1. What causes electrical shock?<br><br> Current<br> Amperage<br> Voltage<br> Watts
Vlada [557]

Answer: A) Current

Current is the flow of electrons. The more electrons that flow, then the higher the amperage which measures this flow. If the current is high enough, then the electrical shock may cause damage of some kind.

"Amperage" is abbreviated as "Amp". You may see something like "milliamp" when it comes to measuring this amperage.

Comets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits with large eccentricities. If a comet has speed 1.8×104 m/s when at a distance
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

9.4 x 10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

In circular or elliptical orbits , the angular momentum is conserved because torque is zero.  

mr₁v₁ = mr₂v₂

2.2 x 10¹¹ x 1.8 x 10⁴ = 4.2 x 10¹⁰ v₂

v₂ = 9.42 x 10⁴ m/s.

= 9.4 x 10⁴ m/s

Focal Lengths II If you were handed an unmarked convex lens (no optical track) and asked to estimate its focal length quickly, h
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Explanation:

To estimate the focal length of a convex lens follow the following steps.

1. take a convex lens.

2. Stand near a window which is just opposite to a wall.

3. Look at a tree which is far away from the window by the convex lens.

4. focus the image of the tree on the wall which is opposite to the window.

5. You wll observe that by changing the position of convex lens a sharp and inverted and small image is seen on the wall.

5. Now measure the distance between the lens and the wall.

7. This distance is the rough focal length of the convex lens.

True or False:
viva [34]

Answer:

True. The object's location is based off of the reference point, so by moving the reference point, you move the object's location.
