In a hydroelectric power plant, 65 m3 /s of water flows from an elevation of 90-m to a turbine-generator, where electricity is g

enerated. if the overall efficiency of the turbine-generator is 84%, determine the electric output of this plant, in mw. neglect all frictional losses, assume that the velocity of the inlet and outlet are small, and assume that both sides of the power plant are exposed to atmospheric pressure.

The electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW

First we need to calculate the water power, it is given by the formula

WP=ρQgh

Here, ρ=1000 kg/m3 is density of water,Q is the flow rate, g is the gravity, and h is the water head

Therefore, WP=1000*65*9.81*90=57388500 W=57.38 MW

Now the overall efficiency of the hydroelectric power plant is given as

η=\frac{electric power}{water power}

Plugging the values in the above equation

0.84=EP/57.38

EP=48.19 MW

Therefore, the electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW.

Aleksandr [31]

The amount of work done by two boys who apply 200 N of force in an unsuccessful attempt to move a stalled car is 0.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

Work done is the measure of work done by someone to push an object from its present position. We can also define work done as the amount of forces needed to move an object from its present position to another position. So the amount of work done is directly proportionate to the product of forces acting on the object and the displacement of the object.  

           \text { Work done }=\text { Force } \times \text { displacement }

So in this present case, as the two boys have done an unsuccessful attempts to push a stalled car so that means the displacement of the car is zero as there is no change in the position of the car. But they have applied a force of 200 N each. So the amount of work done will be

           \text { Work done }=200 \mathrm{N} \times 0=0

Thus, the amount of work done by two boys will be zero due to their unsuccessful attempt to move a stalled car.

Citrus2011 [14]
The momentum of both the identical balls would eventually be transferred to one another when it comes to a point wherein they will collide. In addition, the phenomenon is called an elastic collision wherein both the momentum and energy of the system would considered to be conserved.

Drivers should train themselves to scan ahead two seconds looking for ________ hazards and from 10-12 seconds down the road for
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Immediate, potential

Explanation:

In america there are many safety council .in which drivers are trained. According to american safety council in america the drivers are trained in such a way that they can ahead two seconds so that there will not be any immediate hazards and 10 to 12 seconds down the road for potential hazards

So in the blanks there will be immediate and potential

______ 4. Justin was creating a chart comparing the potential energy between charged particles and the potential energy of magne
fredd [130]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. The potential energy between both like charges and like poles increases as they move closer together

Explanation:

Here we have that when we move the like poles of two bar magnets close to each other, there is an increased resistance in the continuing motion, therefore for each extra gap closer achieved, there is an increase in potential energy

Similarly, when two like charges are brought closer together, the potential energy, or the energy available to push the two like charges apart increases charge as the as the charges are brought closer together

Therefore, the correct option is the potential energy between both like charges and like poles increases as they move closer together.
