<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

What is the kinetic energy of a 200 kg satellite as it follows a circular orbit of radius 8x106m around the earth?
motikmotik
Given the equation for the Speed of a Satellite

v = SqRt{Gravitational Constant}{Mass of Earth} divided by the radius given in your problem

we have:


(square root whole term on right side)

v = G Me
———
r


so. (6.67x10^-11)(5.97x10^24)
___________________
(8.0x10^6)


v = 7055 m/s (which is reasonable)


so utilize the Kinetic Energy Formula


KE = 1/2mv^2


KE = 1/2(200)(7055)^2


KE = 4.977x10^9 J

The sprinter’s average acceleration is 1.98 m/s²

The given parameters;

  • initial velocity of the sprinter, u = 18 km/h
  • final velocity of the sprinter, v = 27 km/h
  • time of motion of the sprinter, t = 3.5 x 10⁻⁴ h

Convert the velocity of the sprinter to m/s;

initial \ velocity, u = 18 \frac{km}{h} \times \frac{1000 \ m}{1 \ km} \times \frac{1 \ h}{3600 \ s} = 5 \ m/s\\\\final \ velocity, v =27 \frac{km}{h} \times \frac{1000 \ m}{1 \ km} \times \frac{1 \ h}{3600 \ s} = 7.5 \ m/s\\\\

The time of motion is seconds;

t = 3.5 \times 10^{-4} \ h \times \frac{3600 \ s}{1 \ h} = 1.26 \ s

The sprinter’s average acceleration is calculated as follows;

a = \frac{v- u}{t} \\\\a = \frac{7.5 \ m/s \ - \ 5 \ m/s}{1.26 \ s} \\\\a = 1.98 \ m/s^2

Thus, the sprinter’s average acceleration is 1.98 m/s²

Why does refracting light bend when it enters a denser or less dense medium?
Rzqust [24]

Answer: The light bends because light travels fast but it slows down in a denser medium. For example light refracts in water or it bends after passing through air. When light passes through air ( a less dense medium ) then through water ( a more dense medium ) the beam of light bends because light travels more slowly in a denser medium then it picks up its pace again once it passes. The density of the substance determines how much the light is refracted. I hope this makes sense and I hope this answered your question!! :)
