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>

What did johannes kepler contribute to the study of planets
Nana76 [90]
Johannes Kepler was a main stargazer of the Scientific Revolution known for detailing the Laws of Planetary Motion. A stargazer, obviously, is a man who contemplates the sun, stars, planets and different parts of room. Kepler was German and lived in the vicinity of 1571 and 1630. 
Despite the fact that Kepler is best known for characterizing laws in regards to planetary movement, he made a few other striking commitments to science. He was the first to discover that refraction drives vision in the eye and that utilizing two eyes empowers profundity recognition.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

s=5.79\ km

\theta=47^{\circ} east of south

Explanation:

Given:

  • distance of the person form the initial position, d'=8.4\ km
  • direction of the person from the initial position, 47^{\circ} north of east
  • distance supposed to travel form the initial position, d=5.3\ km
  • direction supposed to travel from the initial position, due North

<u>Now refer the schematic for visualization of situation:</u>

y=d'.\sin47^{\circ}-d

y=8.4\times \sin47-5.3 ...............(1)

x=d'.\cos47^{\circ}

x=8.4\times \cos47^{\circ} .................(2)

<u>Now the direction of the desired position with respect to south:</u>

\tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}

\tan\theta=\frac{8.4\times \sin47}{8.4\times \cos47}

\theta=47^{\circ} east of south

<u>Now the distance from the current position to the desired position:</u>

s=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

s=\sqrt{(8.4\times \cos47)^2+(8.4\times \sin47-5.3)^2}

s=5.79\ km

Two bicyclist, originally separated by a distance of 20 miles, are each traveling at a uniform speed of 10 miles per hour toward
Radda [10]

Answer:

D = 25 miles

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just need to know how much time it took both bicyclists to collide and that will be the same amount of time that the bee flew at 25miles per hour. With those values we could calculate the distance it traveled.

Since both bicyclists collide, we know that Xa=Xb, so:

Xa = V*t = 10*t     and    Xb = 20 - V*t = 20 - 10*t

10*t = 20 - 10*t      Solving for t:

t = 1 hour  Now we can calculate the distance for the bee:

D = Vbee * t = 25 * 1 = 25 miles
