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

dexar [7]

Answer:    

Compared to windshield the airbag exerts much lesser force  

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as change in momentum of the object when it is acted upon by a force during interval of time

<em>Impulse = Impulsive force *time</em>

I = F*Δt

If the object should be bought to rest from certain velocity there should be change in momentum. If the duration in which the momentum is increased then there would be less force applied and hence less damage.

Airbags are used to reduce the force experience by the people when they are met with accident by extending the time required to stop the momentum.

During the collision, the passenger is carried towards the<em> windshield</em> and if they are stopped by collision with wind shield the force will be larger and more damage.But if they are hit with airbag then the force will be less due to increased time.

The change is momentum will be the same with or without momentum but its the time that decides the impact of force.By making it longer the force become less.

<em>Thus compared to the windshield the airbag exerts much lesser force.</em>

A man runs 1200m on a straight line in 4 min . find his velocity.
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

5m/sec^2

Explanation:

Distance=1200m

Time=4 min

1=60sec

4=4 x 60

=240sec

Velocity=Distance/Time

Velocity=1200/240

Velocity=5m/sec^2

Which formula can be used to solve problems related to the first law of thermodynamics?
docker41 [41]

Answer: The formula used to solve the problems related to first law of thermodynamics is \Delta U=Q+W

Explanation:

First law of thermodynamics states that the total energy of the system remains conserved. Energy can neither be destroyed, nor be created but it can only be transformed into one form to another.

Its implication is any change in the internal energy will be either due to heat energy or work energy.

Mathematically,

\Delta U=Q+W

where, Q = heat energy

W = work energy

\Delta U = Change in internal energy

Sign convention for these energies:

For Q: Heat absorbed will be positive and heat released will be negative.

For W: Work done by the system is negative and work done on the system is positive.

For \Delta U: When negative, internal energy is decreasing and when positive, internal energy is increasing.

Hence, the formula used to solve the problems related to first law of thermodynamics is \Delta U=Q+W
