<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

1. James drives 400 km in 5 hours to his grandmothers. What are the units for speed going to be?
Airida [17]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

1. Speed is calculated as the ratio of distance and time. Hence, Jame's speed can be calculated as:

       400/5 km/hr = 80 km/hr

The unit for the speed would be km/hr. This can also be converted to m/s:

80 km = 80,000 m

1 hr = 3,600 s

80 km/hr = 80,000/3600 m/s = 22.22 m/s

2. Since James drove 400 km in 5 hours, the distance he drove is 400 km.

3. The time it took for James to get there is 5 hours.

Answer:

Explanation:

1) Hypermetropia (better known as Farsighted- this is why nearby objects seem blurry for him)

2) In such instances, image are typically formed farther from the near point

3) Such defects are quite common so there are common procedures such as using convex lens which can restore the sight to normal.
