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

How does chemical energy cause a change? What about electromagnetic energy?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

how does chemical energy cause a change?:

Chemical reactions often involve changes in energy due to the breaking and formation of bonds. Reactions in which energy is released are exothermic reactions, while those that take in heat energy are endothermic.

What about electromagnetic energy?:

Electromagnetic radiation is made when an atom absorbs energy. The absorbed energy causes one or more electrons to change their locale within the atom. Depending on the kind of atom and the amount of energy, this electromagnetic radiation can take the form of heat, light, ultraviolet, or other electromagnetic waves.

Suppose that a car traveling to the west (the - x direction) begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Which stateme
Amanda [17]

Answer:

(A) it's acceleration is negative but but it's velocity is positive

Explanation:

In the question it is given that begins to slow down so its speed is decreasing it is does not means that its speed is negative

For example let first the velocity of the car is 30 m/sec and when its velocity decreases it becomes 20 m/sec in 5 sec

So it is not negative at all

Now the acceleration is the rate of change of velocity

a=\frac{dv}{dt}

a=\frac{v_2-v_1}{dt}=\frac{20-30}{5}=-2 m/sec^2

So acceleration is negative here

So option (a) will be the correct option

If the magnetic force is 3.5 × 10–2 N, how fast is the charge moving?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The velocity of charge is 1.1×10⁴

Option(D)

Explanation:

F = q(v×B)

3.5×10-²= (8.4×10-⁴)*(v)*(6.7×10-³)*sin35

v = (3.5)/(8.4×6.7×0.57) × 10⁵

v = 3.5/32.08 × 10⁵

v = 0.109 × 10⁵

v ≈ 1.1 × 10⁴ m/s

If the torque on an object adds up to zero Group of answer choices the object is at rest. the object cannot be turning. the obje
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

the body has linear acceleration, but cannot rotate

Explanation:

Let's analyze the system

If the torque is zero, the two forces are the same magnitude, but applied to each side of the body in such a way that the torque cancels the punch of the other. Therefore the body cannot turn

The two forces go in the same direction so the object can have linear acceleration

The object is at rest because it has a force in the same direction, but in the opposite direction.

therefore the correct answer is:

the body has linear acceleration, but cannot rotate
