A model hydroelectric power station produces just enough electric power to light a 6.0 W lamp. The model is found to be 80% effi

cient at converting the potential energy store of the water into electrical work. What is the input power of the water running through the pipes?

You said that the useful output power from the model is 6 watts.  You also said that the model is 80% efficient.  We have no reason to doubt your word, so we know that

(useful output) / (input power) = 80% or 0.8

(6 watts) / (input power) = 0.8

Multiply each side by (input power): 6 watts = (0.8) (input power)

Divide each side by 0.8 :  Input power = (6 watts/ 0.8)

<em>Input power =  7.5 watts</em>

When the force acting on the body equal to acceleration?
topjm [15]

Answer:

Acceleration and velocity Newton's second law says that when a constant force acts on a massive body, it causes it to accelerate, i.e., to change its velocity, at a constant rate. In the simplest case, a force applied to an object at rest causes it to accelerate in the direction of the force.

A system consists of three particles with these masses and velocities: mass 3.00 kg, moving north at 3.00 m/s; mass 4.00 kg, mov
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

the total momentum is 8 .2 kg m/s in north direction.

Explanation:

given,

mass(m₁) 3.00 kg, moving north at v₁ = 3.00 m/s

mass(m₂) 4.00 kg, moving south at v₂ =  3.70 m/s

mass(m₃) 7.00 kg, moving north at v₃ = 2.00 m/s

north as the positive axis

south as the negative axis

now

total momentum = m₁v₁ + m₂ v₂ + m₃ v₃

total momentum = 3 x 3 - 4 x 3.7 + 7 x 2

                           = 9 - 14.8 + 14

                           = 8 .2 kg m/s

hence, the total momentum is 8 .2 kg m/s in north direction.

3. An athlete makes a long jump and follows a projectile motion. Air resistance is negligible. Which one of the following statem
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

The motion under the influence of gravity is called projectile motion.

The acceleration due to gravity is constant through out the motion and it is always acting downwards.

When an athlete jumps and follow the projectile path, it always have the same horizontal velocity as there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction.

Also he has the vertical acceleration constant which is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and acts towards the center of earth.  

Option (b) is correct.

How long does it take for an airplane to change its velocity from 140 m/s to 180 m/s if its
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a = 4ms⁻²,  Vf = 180 m/s  &  Vi = 140m/s

a = \frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

4 = \frac{180-140}{t}

t = 40/4

t = 10sec

To Measure Distance Use third Equation of Motion:

2aS = Vf²-Vi²

S = \frac{180*180 - 140*140}{2(4)}

S = 12800/8 = 1600m
