dam is used to block the passage of a river and to generate electricity. Approximately 58.4 x 103 kg of water falls each second

through a height of 20.1 m. If one half of the gravitational potential energy of the water were converted to electrical energy, how much power (in MW) would be generated

Answer:

8.049 MW

Explanation:

The expression for gravitational potential energy is given as

Ep = mgh............. Equation 1

Ep = gravitational potential energy, m = mass of water, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 58.4×10³ kg, h = 20.1 m, g = 9.81 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

Ep = 58.4×10³(20.1)(9.81)

Ep = 1.6098×10⁷ J.

If one half the gravitational potential energy of the water were converted to electrical energy

Electrical energy = Ep/2

Electrical energy = (1.6098×10⁷)/2

Electrical energy = 8.049×10⁶ J

In one seconds,

The power generated = 8.049×10⁶ W

Power generated = 8.049 MW

Crank

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{-10}+\dfrac{1}{38}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{-19+5}{190}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{-14}{190}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow u=\dfrac{190}{-14}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow u=13.6cm$

As a rain storm passes through a region, there is an associated drop in atmospheric pressure. If the height of a mercury baromet

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

new atmospheric pressure is 0.9838 × $10^{5}$ Pa

Explanation:

given data

height = 21.6 mm = 0.0216 m

Normal atmospheric pressure = 1.013 ✕ 10^5 Pa

density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm³

to find out

atmospheric pressure

solution

we find first height of mercury when normal pressure that is

pressure p = ρ×g×h

put here value

1.013 × $10^{5}$ = 13.6 × 10³ × 9.81 × h

h = 0.759 m

so change in height Δh = 0.759 - 0.0216

new height H = 0.7374 m

so new pressure = ρ×g×H

put here value

new pressure = 13.6 × 10³ × 9.81 × 0.7374

atmospheric pressure = 98380.9584

so new atmospheric pressure is 0.9838 × $10^{5}$ Pa

A block of ice with mass 2.00 kg slides 0.750 m down an inclined plane that slopes downward at an angle of 36.9 degrees below th

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: $V_{f}=2.96m/s$

Firstly we have to draw the Free Body Diagram (FBD) as shown in the figure attached.

Where the weight $w$ of the block has an x-component and y-component:

$w_{x}=wsin(\theta)$ (1)

$w_{y}=wcos(\theta)$ (2)

As well as the Normal Force $N$ :

$N_{x}=Nsin(\theta)$ (3)

$N_{y}=Ncos(\theta)$ (4)

In addition, we know $N=w$ , then $\sum F_{y}=0$

In the X-component:

$\sum F_{x}=m.a$

$m.a=w_{x}$ (5)

Substituting (1) in (5):

$wsin(\theta)=m.a$ (6)

In addition, we know $w=m.g$ , where $m$ is the mass of the block and $g$ the gravity acceleration, which is equal to $9.8m/{s}^{2}$

So:

$m.g.sin(\theta)=m.a$ (7)

$a=g.sin(\theta)$ (8)

$a=5.88m/{s}^{2}$ (9) >>>>This is the acceleration of the block

On the other hand, we have the following equation that expresses a <u>relation between</u> the distance $d$ with the acceleration $a$ and time $t$ :

$d=\frac{1}{2}a{t}^{2}$ (10)

We already know the value of $d$ and calculated $a$ , we have to find $t$ :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}$ (11)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.75m)}{5.88m/{s}^{2}}}$ (12)

$t=0.50s$ (13) >>>This is the time it takes to the block to go from the initial velocity $V_{o}$ to its final velocity $V_{f}$

If the acceleration is the variation of the velocity in time, we can use the following equation to find $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}-V_{o}=a.t$ (13)

If $V_{o}=0$

$V_{f}=a.t$ (14)

$V_{f}=(5.88m/{s}^{2})(0.50s)$ (15)

Finally we get the value of the Final Velocity of the block:

$V_{f}=2.96m/s$

Before designing the filter, one must understand the relationship between the output voltage of the circuit and the frequency. F

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Option b. is correct

Explanation:

An RLC electrical circuit consists of constituent components: a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C). A resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor are connected in series or parallel.

The impedances of the circuit elements depend on the frequency.

Both impedance magnitudes decrease when the frequency increases
