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

A trombone plays a C3 note. If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s and the wavelength of this note is
Umnica [9.8K]

The frequency of note C3 is 131 s^{-1}.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Frequency is the measure of repetition of same thing a certain number of times. So frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. As wavelength is distance between two successive crests or troughs in a sound wave.

And frequency is the completion of number of cycles in a given time in sound waves. The frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other with velocity of sound being the proportionality constant.

Thus, here the speed of sound is given as 343 m/s, the wavelength of the note is also given as 2.62 m, then frequency will be as follows:

Frequency=\frac{speed of sound}{Wavelength of note}

Thus,

Frequency = \frac{343 m/s}{2.62 m} = 131 s^{-1}

So the frequency of note C3 is 131 s^{-1}.

Answer:

-6 m/s^2

Explanation:

30 - 90 = -60

-60 / 10 = -6

How do the Sun, Earth, and Moon systems interact
Nataly [62]

The sun is the mother star of the solar system, which only emits light to half of the planet, while the other part is always dark.

The sun emits light towards the earth, which dominates all life on earth. The movements of the Moon around the Earth and of the Earth around the Sun are complex. Movements of rotation around their own axes are superimposed on movements of orbital translation. The Earth and the Moon rotate around their own axes: This is rotation.
