The Hoover Dam in Nevada, supplied by Lake Mead, generates hydroelectric power for several western states, including the numerou

s lights in Las Vegas. What statement accurately explains the potential energy that Hoover Dam uses to generate this power?
A) The large number of generators and height of the dam account for the potential energy.
B) The depth of Lake Mead and the large number of generators account for the potential energy.
C) The amount of water released through the dam and the dam's height account for the potential energy.
D) The quantity of water flowing into Lake Mead from the Colorado River accounts for the potential energy.

Answer: 
C).The amount of water released through the dam and the dam's height account for the potential energy.  
because energy is directly proportional to the amount of water released. according to the height of the dam ,the speed of the water will increase.

Potential energy = mgh

where

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

So more the height higher the potential energy

also

more the mass (amount) of water higher the potential energy

acceleration due to gravity is a constant for earth.

hence we can say that

The amount of water released through the dam and the dam's height account for the potential energy.

The reactant concentration in a first-order reaction was 7.60 x 10-2 M after 35.0 s and 5.50 x 10-3 M after 85.0 s. What is the
8090 [49]

Answer:

k = -0.0525 s⁻¹

Explanation:

The equaiton for a first order reaction is stated below:

ln[A]=−kt+ln[A]₀.

[A] = 5.50 x 10⁻³ M

[A]₀ = 7.60 x 10⁻² M

t = 85.0 - 35.0 = 50.0 s

The rate constant is represented by k and can be calculated substituting the values given above:

k = (ln[A]₀ - ln[A])/t

k = (ln5.50 x 10⁻³ M - ln7.60 x 10⁻² M)/50.0s

k = -0.0525 s⁻¹

Guys, how do i know whether the forces of attraction is strong or weak?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Whether the forces of attraction is strong or weak is explained below in details.

Explanation:

There are three distinct kinds of intermolecular forces in expressions of energy. They are (strongest to weakest) dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding, and Van der Waals' strengths. Intermolecular forces are weak related to intramolecular forces – the energies which endure a molecule collectively. For instance, the covalent bond, including distributing electron sets among atoms, is much more powerful than the forces impersonate among neighboring molecules.
