Neither of those questions makes sense, and I believe that you should not waste your time worrying about them.

#61 gives you a lot of information about a ball, and then asks a question about a glove.

#62 gives a mysterious equation, doesn't tell you what either of the variables represents, and then asks for a quantity without ever telling us how that quantity is related to the equation.

Personally, my response to both questions would be "Insufficient information given".

A river flowing steadily at a rate of 175 m3/s is considered for hydroelectric power generation. It is determined that a dam can

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

137200000 watts or 137200 kilowatts

Explanation:

The formula for power is P= dhrg

Where P = Power in watts

d = density of water (1000 kg/m^3)

h = height in meters

r = flow rate in cubic meters per second,

g = acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s^2,

Plugging in the known values,

we get

P = 1000 kg/m^3 * 80 m * 175 m^3/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 80000 kg/m^2 * 175 m^3/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 14000000 kg m/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 137200000 kg m^2/s^3

P = 137200000 watts or 137200 kilowatts

The above figure assumes 100% efficiency which is impossible. A good efficiency would be 90% so the actual power available would be close to 0.90 * 137200 = 123480 kilowatts

In Lesson 20, a magnesium strip was used to ignite the thermite reaction. When magnesium is placed in a flame from a small blow

nadezda [96]

Answer:

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between magnesium and oxygen gives magnesium oxide as a product.The reaction is chemically represented as:

$2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)$

Magnesium is a metal of group-2 with 2 valence electrons.It has atomic number of 12.

$[Mg]=1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will loose two electrons.

$[Mg]^{2+}=1s^22s^22p^6$

$Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-$ ...[1]

Oxygen is a non metal of group-16 with 6 valence electrons..It has atomic number of 8.

$[O]=1s^22s^22p^4$

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will gain two electrons.

$[O]^{2-}=1s^22s^22p^6$

$O+2e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}$ ..[2]

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

What is the mechanical advantage of a 8 m ramp that rises 2 m to a stage?

Neko [114]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 4

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance of effort, de = 8m

Distance of ramp, dr = 2m

To find the mechanical advantage;

Mechanical advantage = de/dr

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Mechanical advantage = 8/2

Mechanical advantage = 4

goblinko [34]

Answer:

C. a clamp light with a 150-W lightbulb placed 25 cm from the radiometer

Explanation:

because the temperature has to be set, meaning it can't change, and it should be a different distance away than the first one.

Hope this helps! Stay safe!

while looking at a graph, you notice a period of time where the line is perfectly horizontal what is most likely taking place du

aev [14]

Answer:

where the y axis is

Explanation:

In more simple terms, a horizontal line on any chart is where the y-axis values are equal. If it has been drawn to show a series of highs in the data, a data point moving above the horizontal line would indicate a rise in the y-axis value over recent values in the data sample.
