The correct answer to the question is : B) Both use kinetic energy to produce electricity.

EXPLANATION:

Hydroelectricity is produced when the kinetic energy of the falling water rotates the turbine. The generator associated with the turbine is rotated, and electric energy is produced due to electric magnetic induction.

In case of power plants in which wind is used as energy source, the same process happens. The kinetic energy of wind rotates the propellers of wind turbine which in turn produces electric energy.

Hence, the correct similarity between them is statement B.

The hydropower plant and wind turbines both uses kinetic energy to produce mechanical power and convert the mechanical energy using a generator to an electrical energy. They both have the process to produce energy but they differ in the source the hydropower plant uses water to whit the wind turbines power plant uses wind. Therefore the answer is letter B.

E<br> 3.6 What force is needed to give a mass of<br> 20 kg an acceleration of 5 m/s??
luda_lava [24]

Explanation:

  • Mass(m)= 20kg
  • Acceleration (a)= 5m/s²
  • Force(F)= ?

We know that,

  • F=ma
  • F=20×5
  • F=100N

Hence, the needed force is 100N.

A stone is dropped from the top of a tower. What is its velocity after 3.0 seconds?
kap26 [50]

For purposes of completing our calculations, we're going to assume that
the experiment takes place on or near the surface of the Earth. 

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 m/s², directed toward the
center of the planet.  That means that the downward speed of a falling object
increases by 9.8 m/s for every second that it falls.

3 seconds after being dropped, a stone is falling at (3 x 9.8) = 29.4 m/s. 

That's the vertical component of its velocity.  The horizontal component is
the same as it was at the instant of the drop, provided there is no horizontal
force on the stone during its fall.
