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.

How does metamorphic rock change into another type of metamorphic rock?
Marrrta [24]
Metamorphic rocks are formed by tremendous heat, great pressure, and chemical reactions. To change it into another type of metamorphic rock you have to reheat it and bury it deeper again beneath the Earth's surface.

The moon orbits the earth at a distance of 3.85 x 10^8 m. Assume that this distance is between the centers of the earth and the
Inga [223]

Answer:

27.5 days

0.92 month

Explanation:

r = radius of the orbit of moon around the earth = 3.85\times10^{8} m

M = Mass of earth = 5.98\times10^{24} m

T = Time period of moon's motion

According to Kepler's third law, Time period is related to radius of orbit as

T^{2} = \frac{4\pi ^{2} r^{3}  }{GM}

inserting the values, we get

T^{2} = \frac{4(3.14)^{2} (3.85\times10^{8})^{3}  }{(6.67\times10^{-11})(5.98\times10^{24})}\\T = 2.3754\times10^{6} sec

we know that

1 day = 24 hours = 24 x 3600 sec = 86400 s

T = 2.3754\times10^{6} sec \frac{1 day}{86400 sec} \\T = 27.5 days

1 month = 30 days

T = 27.5 days \frac{1 month}{30 days} \\T = 0.92 month

hich of the following statements are true for magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field?Check
leonid [27]

Explanation:

The magnetic force acting on a current carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is given by :

F=I(L\times B)

or

F=ILB\ sin\theta

Where

\theta is the angle between length and the magnetic field

The magnetic force is perpendicular to both current and magnetic field. It is maximum when it is perpendicular to both current and magnetic field.

So, the correct options are :

  1. The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines.
  2. .The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the field.
  3. The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current.
