Answer:AC generators

Explanation:

In hydroelectricity as the gate in the dam is open,water flow with great pressure through the penstock,the water hits the turbine,which is connected to an AC generator and the turbine begins to rotate,as the turbine begins to rotate,mechanical energy of the rotating turbine is converted to electrical energy in the AC generator

A garden hose has a radius of 0.0120 m, and water initially comes out at a speed of 2.88m/s. Dasha puts her thumb over the end ,
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

v = 12.4 [m/s]

Explanation:

With the speed and Area information, we can determine the volumetric flow.

V=v*A\\A=\pi *r^{2}

where:

r = radius = 0.0120 [m]

v = 2.88 [m/s]

A=\pi *(0.0120)^{2} \\A=4.523*10^{-4} [m]\\

Therefore the flow is:

V=2.88*4.523*10^{-4} \\V=1.302*10^{-3} [m^{3}/s ]

Despite the fact that you cover the inlet with the finger, the volumetric flow rate is the same.

v=V/A\\v=1.302*10^{-3} /1.05*10^{-4} \\v=12.4[m/s]

a bends each wavelength of white light slightly differently so that each wavelength color comes out separated forming a rainbow
lianna [129]
The answer here is prism. The light passing through prism experiences bending of its multiple wavelength composition which allows it to visibly shows the difference in each of the light's color wavelength, violet bending the most while the least is the color red.

A hayride wagon is going down a spooky country road at 15 m/s when a Scarecrow appears in the roadway. The man at the wheel of t
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

d = 68.18 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity, u = 15 m/s

Finally it comes to stop, v = 0

Acceleration, a = -1.65 m/s²

Time, t = 2.5 s

We need to find the distance covered by the hayride before coming to a stop. Let d is the distance covered. Using third equation of motion to find it :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{-(15)^2}{2\times -1.65}\\\\d=68.18\ m

So, the hayride will cover a distance of 68.18 m.

During convection, heat warms up a fluid, making the fluid less dense so it begins to RISE. As the warm fluid moves, it begins t
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Convection is a form of heat transfer that is predominantly common in fluids especially liquid and gas.

It occurs by the movement of a part of substance from one place to another based on density and temperature differences.

A typical convection cell is made up of a liquid that is heated. The liquid part close to the heat source becomes warmer and rises due to its low density. The part away from the heat source is more dense and begins to sink.

This analogy is commonly demonstrated in a boiling pot of water.
