at certain times the demand for electric energy is low and electric energy is used to pump water to a reservoir 45 m above the g

round and then used to drive turbines during high demand periods. if this process is 70.0% efficient, how much water must be raised to produce 150 MW of power for 3 hours?

The mass of water that must be raised is 5.25\cdot 10^7 kg

Explanation:

Since the process is 70% efficiency, the power in output to the turbine can be written as

P_{out} = 0.70 P_{in}

where P_{in} is the power in input.

The power in input can be written as

P_{in} = \frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work done in lifting the water

t = 3 h = 10,800 s is the time elapsed

The work done in lifting the water is given by

W=mgh

where

m is the mass of water

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h = 45 m is the height at which the water is lifted

Combining the three equations together, we get:

P_{out} = 0.70 \frac{mgh}{t}

Where

P_{out} = 150 MW = 150\cdot 10^6 W

And solving for m, we find:

m=\frac{Pt}{0.70gh}=\frac{(1.50\cdot 10^6)(10800)}{(0.70)(9.8)(45)}=5.25\cdot 10^7 kg

An athlete performing a long jump leaves the ground at a 27.0 degree angle and lands 7.80m away. What was the takeoff speed?
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

=9.72 m/s

Explanation:

From the Newton's laws of motion;

x=2(v²cos∅sin∅)/g

Using geometry we see that 2 cos∅sin∅ = sin 2∅

Therefore, x= (v²sin 2∅)g,  where v is the take off speed x the range and ∅ the launch angle.

Making v the subject of the formula we obtain the following equation.

v=√{xg /(sin 2∅)}

x=7.80

∅=27.0

v=√{7.8×9.8/sin(27×2)}

v=√94.485

v=9.72 m/s

Suppose that you measure the length of a spaceship, at rest relative to you, to be 400 m. how long will you measure it to be if
Fantom [35]

Calculate the length of a spaceship as follows:

l = l₀√1 - v²/c²

=(400 m)√1 - (0.75c)2 c²

=264.575m.

A ball thrown straight up into the air is found to be moving at 6.79 m/s after falling 1.87 m below its release point. Find the
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

3.07 m/s

Explanation:

We know that from kinematics equation

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as and here, a=g where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is acceleration, s is the distance moved, g is acceleration due to gravity

Making u the subject then

u=\sqrt {v^{2}-2gs}

Substituting v for 6.79 m/s, s for 1.87 m and g as 9.81 m/s2 then

u=\sqrt {6.79^{2}-(2\times 9.81\times 1.87)}=3.068338313 m/s\approx 3.07 m/s

Andrej [43]

Answer:

Michael is heavier.

Explanation:

If Michael is 104 pounds, that is equal to 47 kg.

Erica is 44 kg which is 97 pounds.

104 is greater than 97, and 47 is greater than 44.
