Answer:

23.06262m^3/s

Explanation:

The volume flow rate of the water is determined from the needed power output and the elevation difference:

Where, height (h) =221m, power(w)=50MW=50*10^6w

Density of water (ρ)=1000kg/m^3

Efficiency of turbine(η)=100%=1

V=W/ρηgh

=50*10^6m^3/(1)*(1000)*(9.81)*(221)s=23.06262m^3/s

Which explanation best identifies why the company in the following scenario has decided against investing in solar energy?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The company found the cost of the required photovoltaic cells too expensive.

Explanation:

Solar energy can be used as an alternative source of supply for fuel. Solar energy is a renewable source of energy, that is it keeps on replenishing every day. Also solar energy does not require a lot of maintenance.

The cost required is starting a solar system is very high because one needs to buy solar panel, photovoltaic cells for batteries, inverters and so on.

From the question, the company decided against solar energy for the time being. This means that probably in the future they might consider it. Therefore it is as a result of the economic situation of the company that they have not set up a solar system because the cost of the required photovoltaic cells too expensive.

Answer:

I think D is correct

Explanation:

C is decreasing function, probably worst

A is arctan -> in radian, the rate of increasing is very slow-> second worst

B(14) = ln(9*14) = 4.8

D(14) = sqrt(8+14^2)=14.2
