Answer:

mechanical energy per unit mass is 887.4 J/kg

power generated is 443.7 MW

Explanation:

given data

average velocity = 3 m/s

rate = 500 m³/s

height h = 90 m

to find out

total mechanical energy and power generation potential

solution

we know that mechanical energy is sum of potential energy and kinetic energy

so

E = \frac{1}{2}×m×v² + m×g×h    .............1

and energy per mass unit is

E/m =  \frac{1}{2}×v² + g×h

put here value

E/m =  \frac{1}{2}×3² + 9.81×90

E/m = 887.4 J/kg

so mechanical energy per unit mass is 887.4 J/kg

and

power generated is express as

power generated = energy per unit mass ×rate×density

power generated = 887.4× 500× 1000

power generated = 443700000

so power generated is 443.7 MW

The electron is a type of low-mass, very negatively charged with a particle. As such, it can easily be deflected by passing close to other electrons or the positive nucleus of an atom. m = mass of an electron in kg = 9.10938356 × 10-31 kilograms. e = magnitude of the charge of an electron in coulombs = 1.602 x 10-19 coulombs. Hope this helps!

Describe the motion of a swing that requires 6 seconds to complete one cycle. What is its period and the frequency? Round to the
shutvik [7]

Period = 6 seconds and frequency = 0.167Hz .

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have , the motion of a swing that requires 6 seconds to complete one cycle. Period is the amount of time needed to complete one oscillation . And in question it's given that 6 seconds is needed to complete one cycle. Hence ,Period of the motion of a swing is 6 seconds . Frequency is the number of vibrations produced per second and is calculated with the formula of  \frac{1}{t} . SI unit of frequency is Hertz or Hz. We know that time period is 6 seconds so frequency =   \frac{1}{t}

⇒ frequency = \frac{1}{time}

⇒ frequency = \frac{1}{6}

⇒ frequency = 0.167Hz

Therefore , Period = 6 seconds and frequency = 0.167Hz .
