Which of the following is the largest disadvantage of hydropower

1 answer:

6 0

Hydro power, although a low-cost option, is not implemented every time because of the amount of disadvantages there are. One of the disadvantages this has is the pollution is gives. Since the reservoir is always filled with water, this causes any surrounding plants and trees to decompose, releasing a huge amount of methane and carbon dioxide into the environment. Aside from this, it also destroys nearby habitats, and diverts natural waterways, effectively killing fishes too.

Use Hooke's Law, which states that the distance a spring stretches (or compresses) from its natural, or equilibrium, length vari

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

706.68 N

Explanation:

By Hooke's law,

$F = ke$

$k=\dfrac{F}{e}$

Using the values in the question,

$k=\dfrac{265\text{ N}}{0.15 \text{ m}}=1766.7\text{ N/m}$

When e = 0.4 m,

$F = 1766.7\text{ N/m}\times0.4\text{ m}=706.68\text{ N}$

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!! What displacement did the object undergo in the time interval between t= 2.0s and t=8.0s?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Displacement s = (u+v)*t/2 (t refers to delta time)
= (0.45 + 2.7)*6/2
= 3.15*3
= 9.45 m

Jill can use a force of 12.0 N to lift a single box up 5.00 m. How many of these boxes must she lift it in a minute to use 60.0

Mama L [17]

Answer:

60 boxes

Explanation:

The work done by lifting a single box is equal to the force applied (the weight of the box) times the displacement of the box:

$W_1 = Fd=(12.0 N)(5.00 m)=60 J$

Power is related to the work done by the equation:

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

where W is the work done and t is the time. In this problem, we are told that the power used is P=60.0 W, while the time taken is t = 1 min = 60 s, so the total work done must be

$W=Pt=(60.0 W)(60 s)=3600 J$

Therefore, the number of boxes that she has to lift in order to use this power is the total work divided by the work done in lifting each box:

$N=\frac{W}{W_1}=\frac{3,600 J}{60 J}=60$

Suppose an object is launched from a point 320 feet above the earth with an initial velocity of 128 ft/sec upward, and the only

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

(a)Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =576 ft .

(b)Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.

Explanation:

Initial velocity: Initial velocity is a velocity from which an object starts to move.

u is usually used for notation of initial notation.

Final velocity: Final velocity is a velocity of an object after certain second from starting.

The final velocity is denoted by v.

Acceleration: The difference of final velocity and initial velocity per unit time

The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².

(a)

Given that u= 128 ft\sec and g = 32 ft/sec².

At highest point the velocity of the object is 0 i.e v=0

Since the displacement is opposite to the gravity.

Therefore acceleration( a)= -g = -32 ft/sec².

To find the time this to happen we use the following formula

$v=u+at$

Here v=0

⇒0=128+(-32) t

⇒32t=128

⇒t = 4 sec

To determine the height we use the following formula

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$

$\Rightarrow s= (128\times4)+\frac{1}{2}\times (-32) \times4^2$

⇒s= 256 ft

Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =(320+256)ft=576 ft .

(b)

At the highest point the velocity of the object is 0.

so u=0. a=g= 32 ft/sec² [ since the direction of gravity and the displacement are same] s= 576 ft

To determine the time to fall we use the following formula

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$

$\Rightarrow 576 = (0\times t)+\frac{1}{2} \times 32 \times t^2$

$\Rightarrow 16\times t^2=576$

$\Rightarrow t^2=\frac{576}{16}$

$\Rightarrow t^2=36$

⇒t=6 sec

Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.

A piano wire with mass 2.95 g and length 79.0 cm is stretched with a tension of 29.0 N . A wave with frequency 105 Hz and amplit

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The concept needed to solve this problem is average power dissipated by a wave on a string. This expression ca be defined as

$P = \frac{1}{2} \mu \omega^2 A^2 v$

Here,

$\mu$ = Linear mass density of the string

$\omega =$ Angular frequency of the wave on the string

A = Amplitude of the wave

v = Speed of the wave

At the same time each of this terms have its own definition, i.e,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \rightarrow$ Here T is the Period

For the linear mass density we have that

$\mu = \frac{m}{l}$

And the angular frequency can be written as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

Replacing this terms and the first equation we have that

$P = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{m}{l})(2\pi f)^2 A^2(\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}})$

$P = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{m}{l})(2\pi f)^2 A^2 (\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/l}})$

$P = 2\pi^2 f^2A^2(\sqrt{T(m/l)})$

PART A ) Replacing our values here we have that

$P = 2\pi^2 (105)^2(1.8*10^{-3})^2(\sqrt{(29.0)(2.95*10^{-3}/0.79)})$

$P = 0.2320W$

PART B) The new amplitude A' that is half ot the wavelength of the wave is

$A' = \frac{1.8*10^{-3}}{2}$

$A' = 0.9*10^{-3}$

Replacing at the equation of power we have that

$P = 2\pi^2 (105)^2(0.9*10^{-3})^2(\sqrt{(29.0)(2.95*10^{-3}/0.79)})$

$P = 0.058W$
