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.

If an object is not moving are the forces acting on it balanced? Yes or no?why?
xxMikexx [17]

This is another time to look at Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

If the object is not moving, then its acceleration is certainly zero, and Newton's law looks like this:

Net Force = (mass) x (zero)

or  Net Force = (zero) .

"Net Force = zero" means that if there ARE any forces acting on the object, then they add up to zero, and we call them "balanced" forces.

So the answer is '<em>yes</em>', and that's why.

A parallel-plate capacitor has a plate area of 0.2 m^2 and a plate separation of 0.1 mm. If the charge on each plate has a magni
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The potential difference across the plates is 226 V.

Explanation:

Given;

area of the capacitor plate, A = 0.2 m²

separation, d = 0.1 mm = 0.1 x 10⁻³ m

charge on each plate, Q = 4 x 10⁻⁶ C

Charge on the capacitor is given by;

Q = CV

Where;

C is the capacitance of the capacitor, given as;

C = ε₀A / d

Then, the potential difference across the plates is given by;

V = \frac{Q}{C} = \frac{Qd}{\epsilon_o A} = \frac{(4*10^{-6})(0.1*10^{-3})}{(8.85*10^{-12})(0.2)}\\\\V = 226 \ V

Therefore, the potential difference across the plates is 226 V.

Consider a situation where a constant force of 25 N acts on an object having a mass of 2 kg for 3 seconds. What is the work done
blagie [28]

Answer:

Work done W =1406.25 J

Explanation:

Work done on a body can be calculated using newton's 2nd laws:

F=ma

\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}

Hence acceleration of the block is given by:

\Rightarrow a=\frac{25}{2}=12.5m/s^2

Displacement of the object is given by:

\Rightarrow S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Substitute the values

\Rightarrow S=0*3+\frac{1}{2}(12.5)3^2

\Rightarrow S=56.25 m

Now work done is given by:

 W=F.S

W = 25×56.25

W =1406.25 J

A body is electrically neutral. Does it mean that it has no charge?<br>​
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

If a body is electrically neutral it means it has no net charge.

Explanation:

Because it has the same number if protons as it does electron , which are opposite charges that offset eachother.
