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

An object begins with a speed of 20 meters per second and slows down to a speed of 10 meters per second over a time of 5 seconds
Andreyy89

Answer:

V = 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of an object is 20 m/s

Final speed of an object is 10 m/s

Time, t = 5 s

We need to find the average speed of the object during these 5 seconds. Let it is equal to V. Here, time is same. The average speed is given by :

V=\dfrac{x+y}{2}\\\\\text{Putting values}\\\\V=\dfrac{20+10}{5}\\\\V=6\ m/s

So, the average speed of the object is 6 m/s.

If the primary of a transformer were connected to a dc power source,
QveST [7]

Answer:

D. only briefly while being connected or disconnected.

Explanation:

As we know that transformer works on the principle of mutual inductance

here we know that as per the principle of mutual inductance when flux linked with the primary coil charges then it will induce EMF in secondary coil

So here when AC source is connected with primary coil then it will give output across secondary coil because AC source will have change in flux with time.

Now when we connect DC source across primary coil then it will not induce any EMF across secondary coil because DC source is a constant voltage source in which flux will remain constant always

So here in DC source the EMF will only induce at the time of connection or disconnection when flux will change in it while rest of the time it will give ZERO output

so correct answer will be

D. only briefly while being connected or disconnected.
