The Hoover dam is a hydroelectric power plant that converts the energy of falling water into electricity. Which of the following

vlabodo [156]

The correct answer to the question is : B) The weight of the water, and C) The height of the water.

EXPLANATION :

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand potential energy of a body.

The potential energy of a body due to its position from ground is known as gravitational potential energy.

The gravitational potential energy is calculated as -

Potential energy P.E = mgh

Here, m is the mass of the body, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

h stands for the height of the body from the ground.

We know that weight of a body is equal to the product of mass with acceleration due to gravity.

Hence, weight W = mg

Hence, potential energy is written as P.E = weight × height.

Hence, potential energy depends on the weight and height of the water.

Here we can say that there is no external torque on this system

So here we can say that angular momentum is conserved

so here we will have

$I_1\omega_1 = I_2\omega_2$

now we have

$I_1 = mr^2$

$I_1 = (1kg)(0.05^2)$

$I_1 = 25\times 10^{-4} kg m^2$

similarly let the final distance is "r"

so now we have

$I_2 = mr^2$

$I_2 = 1r^2$

now from above equation we have

$(25\times 10^{-4})37 = (r^2)(58)$

$r = 0.04 m$

so final distance is 0.04 m between them

A book falling to the floor is best described by: law one, law two, law three, or all three laws?

Law Incorporation [45]

The book falling to the floor is described by Newton's second law and Newton's third law

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that:

"An object moving at constant velocity (or at rest) keeps moving at constant velocity (or will stay at rest) unless acted upon unbalanced, external forces"

For a book falling to the floor, there is an unbalanced force acting on it (the force of gravity): therefore, we cannot apply Newton's first law.

Newton's second law of motion states that:

"The net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the object's mass, m, and its acceleration, a"

Mathematically:

$F=ma$

For the book falling to the floor, F is the force of gravity; therefore, we can apply Newton's second law, and in this case it tells us that the book has a non-zero acceleration during its fall.

In particular, the force of gravity is $F=mg$ (where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity), so the acceleration of the book is

$mg=ma\\a=g=9.8 m/s^2$

Newton's third law of motion states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (action force) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction force) on object A".

In this case, the Earth is exerting a force (the force of gravity) on the book during its fall: therefore, the book is also exerting a equal and opposite force (reaction force) on the Earth.

A car is driving down the highway at a 50 m/s. Suddenly, the driver sees an accident and slams on his breaks, coming to a comple

vlada-n [284]

Given parameters:

Speed of the car = 50m/s

Time = 10s

Unknown:

Distance traveled before the car stopped = ?

We need to establish speed - time - distance relationship.

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. It is a scalar quantity .

Mathematically;

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

Distance = speed x time

Input the parameters and solve;

Distance = 50 x 10 = 500m

The car traveled 500m before it stopped.
