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.

A heavy ball with a weight of 150 N is hung from the ceiling of a lecture hall on a 4.1-m-long rope. The ball is pulled to one s
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The tension in the rope is 262.88 N

Explanation:

Given:

Weight W = 150 N

Length of rope r = 4.1 m

Initial speed of ball v = 5.5 \frac{m}{s}

For finding the tension in the rope,

First find the mass of rod,

mg = 150                          ( g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} } )

  m = \frac{150}{9.8}

  m = 15.3 kg

Tension in the rope is,

  T = mg + \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

  T = 150 + \frac{15.3 \times (5.5)^{2} }{4.1}

  T = 262.88 N

Therefore, the tension in the rope is 262.88 N

Why can work be thought of as the transfer of energy? Please help it's physics
deff fn [24]
That is because work requires energy. According to the law of conservation of energy, it cannot be created or destroyed. When doing work, energy change forms and gets transferred to the object until it is released.
for example, when you lift up an object and place it on a higher elevation, you transferred energy to it and gave it potential energy. The potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy when the object falls down, and if it hits a surface, the energy will scatter, vibrating the areas around it and producing sound.
Also, work= force X distance. The energy does not go away, but rather get changed into some other form of energy

Explain the difference in reactivity of the elements based on their electron configurations.
victus00 [196]

Well a basic explanation is that some elements have enough electrons to be considered stable. These elements do not need to react with other elements to gain more electrons. Reactive elements are no where near stable; they respond with other elements in order to become stable. The more unstable, the harsher the reaction is.

What happens to the force needed to stretch a rubber band when putting it on a stack of papers?
zmey [24]

Answer:the force is needed to stretch it farther.

Explanation: the definition of force is push or pull so imagine stretching a rubber band your pulling the band which means you increase the force.
