The mechanical energy of the river water per unit mass is 887.4 J/kg
The power generated is 452.574 MW.
Given:
Average velocity (v) = 3 m/s
Rate = 510 m³/s
Height (h) = 90 m
We know, that mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.
So,
E = 
×m×v² + m×g×h
and energy per mass unit is
E/m = ×v² + g×h
E/m = ×3² + 9.81×90
E/m = 887.4 J/kg
So, mechanical energy per unit mass is 887.4 J/kg.
Power generated is expressed as;
Power generated = energy per unit mass ×rate×density
Density of water = 1000 kg/m³
Power generated = 887.4× 510× 1000
Power generated = 452574000 W
So, the power generated is 452.574 MW.

The unit of power is called Watts.
1 way to calculate power is to divide Energy (in joules) by Time (in seconds)
Convert 4kJ to J by multiplying 4x1000
J = 4000
W = E/t
W = 4000J / 0.5s
W = 8000
Electro produced 8000 watts.
Answer:
Primary waves (P-waves)
Explanation:
Due to excess of the energy inside the earth when the tectonic plates begin to slide or fracture then the energy is released in the form of seismic waves, this causes the earthquake.
<u>Two types of seismic waves are generally responsible for the earth quakes:</u>
- body waves
- surface waves
Body waves are of two types:
Primary waves (P-waves)
These are the fastest of all the waves involved in the earth-quake which travel at a speed of 1.6 km to 8 km per second.
They can pass trough solids, liquids and gases. They arrive at the surface as an instant thud.
Secondary waves (S-waves)
They can only pass through the solids and they move slower than the P-waves.
As S-waves move, they displace the rock particles, pushing them outwards perpendicular to the wave-path that leads to the earthquake-related first rolling period.
Surface waves (L-waves/ long waves)
- These waves move along the surface of the earth. They are responsible for the earthquake's carnage.
- They move up and down the Earth's surface, rocking the foundations of man-made structures.
- Surface waves are slowest of the three waves, which means that they are the last to arrive. So at the end of an earthquake usually comes the most powerful shaking.
