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 jet stream form
barxatty [35]
Even though the wind "tries" to flow from high pressure to low pressure, the turning of the Earth causes the air flow to turn to the right (in the Northern Hemisphere), so the jet stream flows around the air masses, rather than directly from one to the other.

A car is moving in uniform circular motion. If the cars speed were to double to keep the car moving with the same radius the acc
Stells [14]

Answer:

<em>The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4</em>

<em>Correct choice: B.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Circular Motion</u>

The circular motion is described when an object rotates about a fixed point called center. The distance from the object to the center is the radius. There are other magnitudes in the circular motion like the angular speed, tangent speed, and centripetal acceleration. The formulas are:

v_t=w\ r

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v_t^2}{r}

If the speed is doubled and the radius is the same, then

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{(2v_t)^2}{r}

\displaystyle a_c=4\frac{v_t^2}{r}

The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4

Correct choice: B.

A 66-kg diver jumps off a 9.7-m tower. (a) Find the diver's velocity when he hits the water. (b) The diver comes to a stop 2.0 m
Mariana [72]

Answer:

(a)  13.795 m/s.

(b) -3140.28 N.

Explanation:

(a) Using newton's  equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2gs.......................... Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, s = height of the tower, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: s = 9.7 m, u = 0 m/s ( jump from a height), g = 9.81 m/s².

Substitute into equation 1

v² = 0² + 2×9.81×9.7

v² = 190.314

v = √(190.314)

v = 13.795 m/s.

Hence the velocity of the driver when he hits the water = 13.795 m/s.

(b)

F = ma.................... Equation 2

Where F = force exerted on the diver, m = mass of the diver, a = acceleration of the diver below the water surface.

Also using

v² = u² + 2as ............ Equation 3

Note: At the point when the diver enters the water, u = 13.795 m/s, and at the point when the diver comes to a complete stop, v = 0 m/s

Given: s = 2.0 m, u = 13.795 m/s, v = 0 m/s

Substitute into equation 3

0² = 13.795²+2(2a)

0 = 190.30203 + 4a

-4a = 190.30203

a = 190.30203/-4

a = -47.58 m/s²

Also given: m = 66 kg,

Substitute into equation 3

F = (-47.58)(66)

F = -3140.28

Note: The Force is negative because it act against the motion of the diver.

Hence the net force exerted on the diver while in the water = -3140.28 N.

A 86 kg human stands on the surface of Venus. The mass of Venus is 4.9 × 1024 kg and its radius is 6.1 × 106 m. Collapse questio
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

755.37 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of venus=m_1=4.9\times 10^{24}kg

Radius=r=6.1\times 10^6m

Mass of human=m_2=86 kg

We know that the gravitational force between two bodies

F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

Where G=Gravitational constant=6.67\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2

Using the formula

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human=F=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 86\times 4.9\times 10^{24}}{(6.1\times 10^6)^2}

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human=F=755.37N

The energy photon affects which property of light
Triss [41]

Answer:

photoelectric effect

Explanation:

When the energy from photons is absorbed by matter, the matter can emit electrons. This process is called the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect is a property of light that is not explained by the theory that light is a wave.
