Answer:

A turbine spins the water to generate electricity.

Explanation:

This is impoundment facility is called a hydro electric power dam, it is basically a big hydropower system which uses the dam to store river water in a reservoir. The water released from the reservoir flows directly through a turbine, the turbine spins it, which afterwards activates a generator to generate electricity.

The frequency of a microwave is 1.2 x 10^9 hertz. what is the wavelength of the given problem.
Olenka [21]

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field, oscillating in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, the speed of light, whose value is:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Microwave is an example of electromagnetic waves.

The relationship between wavelength and frequency for an electromagnetic wave is:

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}

where

\lambda is the wavelength

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s  is the speed of light

f is the frequency

For the microwave in this problem,

f=1.2\cdot 10^9 Hz

So its wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8}{1.2\cdot 10^9}=0.25 m

What is the impulse of a 3 kg object that starts from rest and moves to 20 m/s?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The impulse on the object is 60Ns.

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as the product of the force applied on an object and the time at which it acts. It is also the change in the momentum of a body.

F = m a

F = m(\frac{v_{2}  - v_{1} }{t})

⇒     Ft = m(v_{2} - v_{1})

where: F is the dorce on the object, t is the time at which it acts, m is the mass of the object, v_{1} is its initialvelocity and v_{2} is the final velocity of the object.

Therefore,

impulse = Ft = m(v_{2} - v_{1})

From the question, m = 3kg, v_{1} = 0m/s and v_{2} = 20m/s.

So that,

Impulse = 3 (20 - 0)

             = 3(20)

             = 60Ns

The impulse on the object is 60Ns.

Which of the following statements apply to electric charges?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The statement "If a positively charged rod is brought close to a positively charged object, the two objects will repel " applies to electric charges.

Explanation:

There are only two types of electric charges. Both having own magnitude but different charge.

1. Positive charge

2. Negative charge

Like charges repel each other and opposite charges always attract each other.

When a positively charged rod is brought close to a positively charged object, the rod and the object will repel.
