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

Two equal, but oppositely charged particles are attracted to each other electrically. The size of the force of attraction is 48.
galina1969 [7]

Given:

The force of attraction is F = 48.1 N

The separation between the charges is

\begin{gathered} r=\text{ 60.9 cm} \\ =\text{ 60.9}\times10^{-2}\text{ m} \end{gathered}

Also, the magnitude of charge q1 = q2 = q.

To find the magnitude of charge.

Explanation:

The magnitude of charge can be calculated by the formula

\begin{gathered} F=\frac{k(2q)}{r^2} \\ q=\frac{Fr^2}{2k} \end{gathered}

Here, k is the Coulomb's constant whose value is

k\text{ = 9}\times10^9\text{ N m}^2\text{ /C}^2

On substituting the values, the magnitude of charge will be

\begin{gathered} q=\frac{48.1\times(60.9^\times10^{-2})^2}{2\times9\times10^{^9}} \\ =9.91\times10^{-10}\text{ C} \\ =9.91\times10^{-4}\text{ }\mu C \end{gathered}

Thus, the magnitude of each charge is 9.91 x 10^(-4) micro Coulombs.
