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.

⚡ Let $\rm{\vec{a}}$ and $\rm{\vec{b}}$ are the two vectors .

✍️ We have know that,

$\orange\bigstar\:\rm{\pink{\boxed{\green{\vec{a}\:.\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\cos{\theta}\:}}}}$

Where,

θ = 90°

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:.\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\cos{90^{\degree}}\:}$

cos 90° = 0

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:.\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\times{0}\:}$

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:.\:\vec{b}\:=\:0\:}$

$\rm{\red{\therefore}}$ [1] The dot product of two vectors is “ 0 ” .

✍️ We have know that,

$\orange\bigstar\:\rm{\pink{\boxed{\green{\vec{a}\:\times\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\sin{\theta}\:}}}}$

Where,

θ = 90°

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:\times\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\sin{90^{\degree}}\:}$

sin 90° = 1

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:\times\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\times{1}\:}$

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:\times\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\:}$

$\rm{\red{\therefore}}$ [2] The cross product of two vectors is “ ab ” .

How much force is needed to accelerate a bicycle and rider with a total mass of 50 kg at a rate of 2.0 m/s2 ?

True [87]

Answer:

The answer is D 100 newton

Explanation:

2.0m/s2 is d acceleration while the 50kg is the mass. Force = mass x acceleration. So f=50x2.so force is 100 newton

What does frequency describe?

ddd [48]

The whole definition of frequency is: How often something happens.

Especially referring to something that happens over and over and over and over.

One example is Choice-C: How often the particles of a medium vibrate.

"Frequency" comes from the word "frequent". That means "often", and "frequency" just means "often-ness" ... HOW often the thing happens.

Some other examples:

Frequency of jump-roping . . . maybe 60 per minute .

Frequency of rain . . . maybe 5 per month .

Frequency of an AM radio station . . . maybe 1 million waves per second.

(If it's something per second, then we call it "Hertz". That's not for the car rental company. It's for Heinrich Hertz, the German Physicist who was the first one to prove that electromagnetic waves exist. He sent radio waves all the way ACROSS HIS LABORATORY and detected them at the other side ( ! ), in 1887.)

Frequency of the wiggles in the sound wave coming out of a trumpet playing the note ' A ' . . . 440 Hertz.

Frequency of sunrise and the Chicago Tribune newspaper . . . 1 per day

Frequency of the cycle of Moon phases and an average human woman's ovulation cycle: 1 per 29.531 days, 1 per ~28 days .
