Mar 28, 2011 · The Hoover Dam generates electricity using hydropower. Hydropower is the power generated by moving water. Dams are often built on a large river, so the water falls down from the top of the dam. At the bottom of the dam, the water rotates a large turbine

Hope this helps :p

Answer:

Two factors are water speed and amount of water.

Explanation:

The production of hydro electrical power can be done when the water passes from the dam to the rivers which are below dam.

Turbines which are surrounded by magnets produce the electricity when the flowing water is hit on the turbines than turbines rotates and produce electricity and turbines are present in the dam.

The energy production of the Hoover dam is based on the amount or pressure of the water if the more water is passing through the intake pipe then there is more production of energy. An artificial lake is created behind the dam.

And energy production also depends on the speed of water means if the speed of water is large then it rotate the turbine faster and increase the production.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The direction of force will be in upward direction making an angle of θ with the vertical .

Reaction force R = mg - F cosθ

Friction force = μR

= .36 (mg - F cosθ )

Horizontal component of applied force

= F sinθ

For equilibrium

F sinθ = .36 (mg - F cosθ)

F sinθ + .36 F cosθ =.36 mg

F (sinθ + .36 cosθ) = .36 mg

F R( cosδsinθ +sinδ cosθ) = .36 mg ( Rcosδ = 1 . Rsinδ= .36 )

F R sin( θ+δ )  = . 36 mg

F = .36 mg / Rsin( θ+δ )

For minimum F , sin( θ+δ ) should be maximum

sin( θ+ δ ) = sin 90

θ+ δ  = 90

Rsinδ / Rcosδ  = .36

δ = 20⁰

θ = 70⁰ Ans

What is the relationship between the strength of an
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

As the number of turns in the coil increases, the strength  of the electromagnet increases.

Explanation:

When current flows through a coil the coil behaves as an electromagnet. The strength of electromagnet depend the amount of current, no of turns of coil and the core of coil.

B=μ₀ N I

μ₀ = permeability of the core

N = Number of turns of the coil

I = Current flowing through the coil

Increasing the current and number of coils increase the strength of electromagnet.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

y = 67.6 feet,   y = 114.4/ (22 - 3t)

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use that light travels in a straight line and some trigonometric relationships, the symbols are in the attached diagram

Large triangle Projector up to the screen

         tan θ = y / L

For the small triangle. Projector up to the person

         tan θ = y₀ / (L-d)

The angle is the same, so we equate the two equations

         y₀ / (L -d) = y / L

         y = y₀  L / (L-d)

The distance from the screen (d), we look for it with kinematics

         v = d / t

        d = v t

we replace

         y = y₀ L / (L - v t)

         y = 5.2 22 / (22 - 3 t)

         y = 114.4 (22 - 3t)⁻¹

This is the equation of the shadow height change as a function of time

For the suggested distance the shadow has a height of

           y = 114.4 / (22-13)

           y = 67.6 feet
