Answer:

8100W

Explanation:

Let g = 10m/s2

As water is falling from 60m high, its potential energy from 60m high would convert to power. So the rate of change in potential energy is

P = \dot{E} = \dot{m}gh = 15*10*60 = 9000 J/s or 9000W

Since 10% of this is lost to friction, we take the remaining 90 %

P = 9000*90% = 8100 W

A car with four passengers will have a shorter braking distance than a car with one braking distance. True or false. Why?
Valentin [98]

<u>Answer:</u>

The given statement is a True statement

<u>Explanation:</u>

All cars and trucks have load capacities marked on the jamb of the driver's door, as well as the owner's manual. This is very significant for braking distance.

A heavier object will require much more braking force and distance to stop, due to New ton's law of motion. “ An object in motion will tend to stay in motion “ .A heavy object will remain in motion longer and require much more force to stop. Four wheel disc brakes are great compared to front disc and rear drum configuration, in dissipating heat, and stopping more efficiently.

A scientist directs monochromatic light toward a single slit in an opaque barrier. The light has a wavelength of 580 nm and the
vredina [299]

Answer:

a) 9.72 mm

b) 4.86 mm

Explanation:

wave length of light  λ is  580 nm = 580 \times 10⁻⁹ m

Width of slit d = 0.215\times 10⁻³ m

Distance of screen D  = 1.8 m.

Width of one fringe = \frac{\lambda\times D}{d}

Putting the values we get fringe width

= \frac{580\times10^{-9}\times1.8}{.000315}

=4.86 mm.

a) Width of central maxima = 2 times width of one fringe

= 2 times 4.86

=9.72 mm

b) width of each fringe except central fringe  is same , no matter what the order is.Only brightness changes .

So width of either of the two first order bright fringe will be same and it will be  

= 4.86 mm.

A worker uses a cart to move a load of bricks weighing 680 N a distance of 10 m across a parking lot.
NNADVOKAT [17]
When you are finding work, the easiest way is to use the formula.

W = F*D

Where F is the force and D is the distance. Simply take the constant force of 209N and multiply it by the distance of 10m. Which will give you 2090J

A rope pulls a 82.5 kg skier at a constant speed up a 18.7° slope with μk = 0.150. How much force does the rope exert?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

374 N

Explanation:

N = normal force acting on the skier

m = mass of the skier = 82.5

From the force diagram, force equation perpendicular to the slope is given as

N = mg Cos18.7

μ = Coefficient of friction = 0.150

frictional force is given as

f = μN

f =  μmg Cos18.7

F = force applied by the rope

Force equation parallel to the slope is given as

F - f - mg Sin18.7 = 0

F - μmg Cos18.7 - mg Sin18.7 = 0

F = μmg Cos18.7 + mg Sin18.7

F = (0.150 x 82.5 x 9.8) Cos18.7 + (82.5 x 9.8) Sin18.7

F = 374 N

Which best describes a similarity between power plants that use water as an energy source and those that use wind as an energy s
disa [49]
The hydropower plant and wind turbines both uses kinetic energy to produce mechanical power and convert the mechanical energy using a generator to an electrical energy. They both have the process to produce energy but they differ in the source the hydropower plant uses water to whit the wind turbines power plant uses wind. Therefore the answer is letter B.
