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

Answer:

v = 2591.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The electric field is 1.27 kV/m and the magnetic field is 0.49 T. We need to find the electron's speed if the fields are perpendicular to each other. The magnetic force is balanced by the electric force such that,

qE=qvB\\\\v=\dfrac{E}{B}\\\\v=\dfrac{1.27\times 10^3}{0.49}\\\\v=2591.83\ m/s

So, the speed of the electron is 2591.83 m/s.
