<h3>Answer:</h3>

5.395 × 10^8 Watts

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Rate of flow is 1.1 × 10^6 kg/s
  • Distance is 50.0 m
  • Gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s²

We are required to calculate the power that is generated by the falling water

  • Power is the rate of work done
  • It is given by dividing the energy or work done by time
  • Power = Work done ÷ time

But; work done = Force × distance

Therefore;

Power = (F × d) ÷ time

The rate is 1.1 × 10^ 6 Kg/s

But, 1 kg = 9.81 N

Therefore, the rate is equivalent to 1.079 × 10^7 N/s

Thus,

Power = Rate (N/s) × distance

           = 1.079 × 10^7 N/s × 50.0 m

           = 5.395 × 10^8 Watts

The power generated from the falling water is 5.395 × 10^8 Watts

Why does a light go out when you turn off the wall switch?
Nadusha1986 [10]
A light goes out when you turn off the wall switch because <u />B. the switch causes a break in the circuit.
Since there is a break in the circuit, electricity cannot come through to the bulb, which is why there is no light anymore.

Sally travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 26.0 min at 83.0 km/h, 52.0 min at 41.0 km/h, and 45.0 min at 60.0
Anna007 [38]
The average speed is determined by the following formula:

average speed = [sum of (speed * time for which that speed was traveled)] / total time

average speed = [(83 * 26 + 41 * 52 + 60 * 45 + 0 * 15) / 60] / [(26 + 52 + 45 + 15) / 60]
*note: The division by 60 is to convert minutes to hours. We see that the 60 cancels from the top and bottom of the division

average speed = 50.65 km/hr

The total distance traveled is equivalent to the numerator of the fraction we used in the first part. This is:
Distance = (83 * 26 + 41 * 52 + 60 * 45 + 0 * 15) / 60

Distance = 116.5 kilometers

The maximum speed limit on interstate 10 is 75 miles per hour. how many meters per second is this
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

<h2>33.53m/s</h2>

Explanation:

Given the maximum speed limit on interstate 10 as 75 miles per hour, to get the speed in meter per seconds, we need to convert the given speed to meter per seconds.

Using the conversion 1 mile = 1609.34m and 1 hour = 3600 seconds

75 miles perhour = 75miles/1 hour

75miles/1 hour (in m/s) = 75miles*1609.34m* 1 hour/1mile * 1 hour * 3600s *

= 75 *1609.34m* 1 /1 * 1 * 3600s

= 120,700.5m/3600s

= 33.53m/s

<em>Hence the maximum speed limit on interstate 10 in metre per seconds is 33.53m/s</em>

Suppose the initial position of an object is zero, the starting velocity is 3 m/s and the final velocity was 10 m/s. The object
Nookie1986 [14]

Explanation:

We have,

The initial position of an object is zero.

The starting velocity is 3 m/s and the final velocity was 10 m/s.

The object moves with constant acceleration..

The area covered under the velocity-time graph gives displacement of the object. The correct option is "the area of the rectangle plus the area of the triangle under the line".
