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

The equation that describes a transverse wave on a string is y = (0.0120 m)sin[(927 rad/s)t - (3.00 rad/m)x] where y is the disp
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Speed, v = 312.34 m/s

Explanation:

The equation that describes a transverse wave on the string is given by :

y=0.0120\ msin[(927\ rad/s)t-(3\ rad/m)x]..............(1)

Where

y = displacement of a string particle

x = position of the particle on the string

The wave is travelling in the +x direction. We have to find the speed of the wave.

The general equation of traverse wave is given by :

y=A\ sin(kx-\omega t)................(2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2) we get,

k = 3 rad/m

Since, k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

\lambda=\dfrac{2\pi}{3} ..............(3)

Also, \omega=927\ rad/s

Since, \omega=2\pi \nu

\nu=\dfrac{927}{2\pi}...............(4)

Speed of the wave is the product of frequency and wavelength i.e.

v=\nu\times \lambda

Using equation (3) and (4), the speed of the wave can be calculated as :

v=\dfrac{927}{2\pi}\times \dfrac{2\pi}{3}

v = 312.34 m/s

Hence, the speed of the transverse wave is 312.34 m/s
