Two advantages: long term renewable energy and decreased carbon emissions compared to other sources.

Two disadvantages: very expensive to build and negative impacts to marine life.  

Before it could be recommended or not: Does the stream have the pressure required? What is the return on investment and over what duration factoring maintenance and potential negative impacts such as flooding should there be a problem.

2 disadvantages would be damage to Marine life and hydroelectric plants are very expensive.If they plant is not stable and breaks it can cause flash floods and property damage.2 advantages would be that they do not emit any carbon emmissions.Some cities cannot build hydroelectric power plants because  the stream does not have that kind of pressure .so really it matters greatly on where the dam would be placed. but sunny places like arizonasolar plant would be great

Ryan swings a pail of water in a vertical circle 1.0 m in radius at a constant speed. If the water is NOT to spill on him:
nexus9112 [7]

Part 1

If water does not spill at the top point of the circular motion then for the minimum speed condition we can say normal force will be zero at the top position

F_g = ma

mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}

g = \frac{v^2}{R}

v = \sqrt{Rg}

given that

R = 1 m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

now from above equation we have

v = \sqrt{1(9.8)} = 3.13 m/s

Part b)

for minimum value of angular speed we will have

\omega = \frac{v}{R}

\omega = \frac{3.13}{1}

\omega = 3.13 rad/s

A uniform string of length 10.0 m and weight 0.32 N is attached to the ceiling. A weight of 1.00 kN hangs from its lower end. Th
Juliette [100K]

Answer: 0.0180701 s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Length of string (L) = 10 m

Weight of string (W) = 0.32 N

Weight attached to lower end = 1kN = 1×10^3

Using the relation:

Time (t) = √ (weight of string * Length) / weight attached to lower end * acceleration due to gravity

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Weight of string = 0.32N

Time(t) = √ (0.32 * 10) / [(1*10^3) * (9.8)]

Time = √3.2 / 9800

= √0.0003265

= 0.0180701s

The following represents a mass attached to a spring oscillating in simple harmonic motion. X(t) = 4.0 cos(3.0t +0.10) units of
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

a) A = 4.0 m , b)   w = 3.0 rad / s , c)  f = 0.477 Hz , d) T = 20.94 s

Explanation:

The equation that describes the oscillatory motion is

          x = A cos (wt + fi)

In the exercise we are told that the expression is

          x = 4.0 cos (3.0 t + 0.10)

let's answer the different questions

a) the amplitude is

         A = 4.0 m

b) the frequency or angular velocity

         w = 3.0 rad / s

c) angular velocity and frequency are related

          w = 2π f

           f = w / 2π

           f = 3 / 2π

           f = 0.477 Hz

d) the period

frequency and period are related

           T = 1 / f

           T = 1 / 0.477

           T = 20.94 s

e) the phase constant

          Ф = 0.10 rad

f) velocity is defined by

          v = dx / dt

         

         v = - A w sin (wt + Ф)

speed is maximum when sine is + -1

         v = A w

          v = 4 3

          v = 12 m / s

g) the angular velocity is

          w² = k / m

          k = m w²

          k = 1.2 3²

          k = 10.8 N / m

h) the total energy of the oscillator is

          Em = ½ k A²

           Em = ½ 10.8 4²

          Em = 43.2 J

i) the potential energy is

           Ke = ½ k x²

for t = 0 x = 4 cos (0 + 0.1)

               x = 3.98 m

j) kinetic energy

           K = ½ m v²

for t = 00.1 ²

    v = A w sin 0.10

    v = 4 3 sin 0.10

    v = 1.98 m / s

A student tosses a ball horizontally from a balcony to a friend 3.8 meters down below them. How long does the ball take to reach
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The time it takes the ball to fall 3.8 meters to friend below is approximately 0.88 seconds

Explanation:

The height from which the student tosses the ball to a friend, h = 3.8 meters above the friend

The direction in which the student tosses the ball = The horizontal direction

Given that the ball is tossed in the horizontal direction, and not the vertical direction, the initial vertical component of the velocity of the ball = 0

The equation of the vertical motion of the ball can therefore, be represented by the free fall equation as follows;

h = 1/2 × g × t²

Where;

g = The acceleration due gravity of the ball = 9.81 m/s²

t = The time of motion to cover height, h

Then height is already given as h = 3.8 m

Substituting gives;

3.8 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

t² = 3.8/(1/2 × 9.81) ≈ 0.775 s²

∴ t = √0.775 ≈ 0.88 seconds

The time it takes the ball to fall 3.8 meters to friend below is t ≈ 0.88 seconds.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

probably B

Explanation:

it's not their job to sort out the cost of cleaning it up or worry about the public opinion. they should only make sure it doesn't happen again so they should find out why it happened
