What is the relationship between height and gravitational potential energy of water behind a dam?

Physics
1 answer:
Andrews [41]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

3. h^2

Explanation:

Energy of volume contained in a dam is given by

E=\dfrac{1}{2}A\rho gh^2

where,

A = Horizontal surface area of the barrage

\rho = Density of water

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h =  Vertical tidal range,

It can be seen that

E\propto h^2

Hence, the energy is proportional to h^2

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

What are some ways we can improve on our land use?

- Avoid deforestation and close the forest frontier.

The first-order priority is to end deforestation by closing the "forest frontier" or intact forests, to development.

- Increase agricultural productivity.

- Restore forests and landscapes.

- Reduce food loss and waste.

- Improve diets

Pressure is about 1000 hPa at sea level and about 500 hPa at an altitude of 5.5 km. Why doesn’t this vertical pressure gradient
saul85 [17]

Answer:

A. The upward pressure gradient force is balanced by gravity.

Explanation:

A. is correct because the pressure difference is actually generated by gravity. As in the following formula for the pressure at different points:

p = p_0 + \rho g h

where p, p_0 are the pressure at 2 points, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height difference.

B is incorrect because friction in air is too small to make an effect.

C is incorrect because the Coriolis force is horizontal, not vertical.

D is incorrect because a difference of 500 hPa = 50000 Pa, this is half of the atmospheric pressure.

E is incorrect because temperature cannot generate force.
