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.

A man ties one end of a strong rope 8.17 m long to the bumper of his truck, 0.524 m from the ground, and the other end to a vert
Kamila [148]

Answer:

2442.5 Nm

Explanation:

Tension, T = 8.57 x 10^2 N

length of rope, l = 8.17 m

y = 0.524 m

h = 2.99 m

According to diagram

Sin θ = (2.99 - 0.524) / 8.17

Sin θ = 0.3018

θ = 17.6°

So, torque about the base of the tree is

Torque = T x Cos θ x 2.99

Torque = 8.57 x 100 x Cos 17.6° x 2.99

Torque = 2442.5 Nm

thus, the torque is 2442.5 Nm.

A positively charged body exerts an electric field that causes a positively charged particle to move away from it. If work is do
ollegr [7]

Answer:

b. electric potential energy.

Explanation:

The energy required to move a charge against the electric field is known as the electric potential energy. As in above case positively charged body is exerting an electric field on the positive charge. As the same charges repel so the charge tend to move away. In order to push it towards the body we need a work done. As it is hard to push the positive charged particle towards the positive electric field. So in the cases like these particle occupies the electric potential energy.
