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

An aluminum bar 600mm long, with diameter 40mm long has a hole drilled in the center of the bar.The hole is 30mm in diameter and
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Total contraction on the Bar  = 1.22786 mm

Explanation:

Given that:

Total Length for aluminum bar = 600 mm  

Diameter for aluminum bar  = 40 mm

Hole diameter  = 30 mm

Hole length = 100 mm

elasticity for the aluminum is 85GN/m² = 85 × 10³ N/mm²

compressive load P = 180 KN = 180  × 10³ N

Calculate the total contraction on the bar = ???

The relation used in  calculating the contraction on the bar is:

\delta L = \dfrac{P *L }{A*E}

The relation used in  calculating the total contraction on the bar can be expressed as :

Total contraction in the Bar = (contraction in part of bar without hole + contraction in part of bar with hole)

i.e

Total contraction on the Bar = \dfrac{P *L_1 }{A_1*E} +  \dfrac{P *L_2 }{A_2 *E}

Let's find the area of cross section without the hole and with the hole

Area of cross section without the hole is :

Using A = πd²/4

A = π (40)²/4

A = 1256.64 mm²

Area of cross section with the hole is :

A = π (40²-30²)/4

A = 549.78 mm²

Total contraction on the Bar = \dfrac{P *L_1 }{A_1*E} +  \dfrac{P *L_2 }{A_2 *E}

Total contraction on the Bar  = \dfrac{180 *10^3 \N  }{85*10^3 \ N/mm^2} [\dfrac{500}{1256.64}+ \dfrac{100}{549.78}]

Total contraction on the Bar  = 2.117( 0.398 + 0.182)

Total contraction on the Bar  = 2.117*(0.58)

Total contraction on the Bar  = 1.22786 mm

HELP ASAP!!! The gravitational pull of the Moon is much less than the
katovenus [111]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure its B and C

Explanation:

B bc the weight is gravitational pull x mass so when the object has same mass the weight is smaller on moon

C bc mass is the same - you can't change it

A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 60.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. The projectile lands on a
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

51.96 m/s^-1

Explanation:

a) see the attachment

b) As we know the velocity of the projectile has two component, horizontal velocity v_ox. and vertical velocity v_oy as shown in the figure. At the highest point of the trajectory, the projectile has only horizontal velocity and vertical velocity is zero. Therefore at the highest point of the trajectory, the velocity of the projectile will be  

v_ox=v_o*cosФ

       =60*cos (30)

      = 51.96 m/s^-1

The space shuttle usually orbited Earth at altitudes of around 300.0 km. 1) Determine the time for one orbit of the shuttle abou
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

distance of shuttle from centre of the earth = radius of the orbit

= 6300 + 300 = 6600 km

= 6600 x 10³

Formula of time period of the satellite

T = 2π R /v₀ , v₀ is orbital velocity

v₀ = √gR , ( if height  is small with respect to radius )

T = 2π R /√gR

= 2π√ R /√g

= 2 x 3.14 x √ 6600 x 10³ / √9.8

= 2 x 3.14 x 256.9 x 10 / 3.13

= 5154.41 s

= 5154.41 / 60 minutes

= 85.91 m

85.9 minutes.

2 ) No of sunrise per day = no of rotation per day

= 24 x 60 / 85.9

= 16.76

or 17 sunrises.
