How does hydroelectric energy works?

1 answer:

7 0

Actually, hydroelectric and coal-fired power plants produce electricity in a similar way. In both cases a power source is used to turn a propeller-like piece called a turbine, which then turns a metal shaft in an electric generator,which is the motor that produces electricity. A coal-fired power plant uses steam to turn the turbine blades; whereas a hydroelectric plant uses falling water to turn the turbine. The results are the same. :) <span>

Physics, calculating net force. Please work it out for me

Margarita [4]

Answer:

F = 2985.125 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of curvature of the roller coaster, r = 8 m

Speed of Micheal, v = 17 m/s

Mass of body, m = 65 kg We need to find the net force acting on Micheal. Net force act the bottom of the circle is given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg\\\\F=m(\dfrac{v^2}{r}+g)\\\\=65(\dfrac{17^2}{8}+9.8)\\\\=2985.125\ N$

So, the net force is 2985.125 N.

Scientists measure the time between the arrival of an earthquake's __P____ and ___S____ waves to help determine the distance between the recording seismograph and the earthquake epicenter.

Explanation:

P- (compressional) and S- (shear) waves produced in earthquakes travel at different speeds. P waves are faster than S waves and hence will be detected first by a seismograph after an earthquake. The further away a seismograph is from the epicenter of an earthquake, the longer the time difference between the two (2) waves will be.

Using several, at least 3, seismographs located at different geoghraphical locations and detecting earthquakes, geologists can extrapolate the epicenter of an earthquake using the time differences in arrivals of the two waves in each of the seismographs, using the mathematics of triangulation.

The ability to clearly see objects at a distance but not close up is properly called ________. The ability to clearly see object

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Hyperopia

Explanation:

In hyperopia ,people face difficulties to see close up object , but can see object easily which are at a distance.

The main reason of hyperopia is our eyeball.When our eyeball become too short , then light focus behind the retina. Sowe will face problem to see near object but we can see distance object easily. Hyperopia is the opposite of nearsightedness. Hyperopia can be corrected by using contact lenses.

An excited hydrogen atom releases an electromagnetic wave to return to its normal state. You use your futuristic dual electric/m

masya89 [10]

Answer: the magnetic wave will travel out of the screen.

Explanation:

Electric field direction is perpendicular to the magnetic field direction. Both are also perpendicular to the direction of the particles.

Using right hand rule to solve this problem,

This pointed finger depicts the electric field direction which the curly fingers depict the direction of the magnetic field. The pointed thumb will depict the direction in which the wave travel. Which is out of the screen.
