Explain how a hydroelectric power plant converts energy stored in water into electricity

Hot water, as in very hot water, goes to steam with an enormous change in volume and pressure. This is capable of driving turbine blades, which in turn rotate enormous copper (eg) wired coils in enormous magnetic fields. This in turn produces electricity via electromagnetic induction and Fleming's right hand (I think it is) DYNAMO rule. That goes down miles and mile of v heavy conducting wire/cable as electricity.

Answer:

B) False.

Explanation:

Most of the times, the numbers that appears right to the cursor are representing the coordinates (x & y) of the cursor. So as the cursor moves around the screen those number changes accordingly.Therefore its wrong to say that there is no need to add a dimension to set the dimensional value.

A slingshot is used to launch a stone horizontally from the top of a 20.0 meter cliff. The stone lands 36.0 meters away.

A)

It is a launch oblique, therefore the initial velocity in the vertical direction is zero. Space Hourly Equation in vertical, we have:

$S=S_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{at^2}{2} \\ 20= \frac{10t^2}{2} \\ t=2s$

Through Definition of Velocity, comes:

$\Delta v= \frac{\Delta S}{\Delta t} \\ v_x= \frac{36}{2} \\ \boxed {v_{x}=18m/s}$

B)

Using the Velocity Hourly Equation in vertical direction, we have:

$v_{y}=v_{y_{o}}+gt \\ v_{y}=10\times2 \\ \boxed {v_{y}=20m/s}$

The angle of impact is given by:

$cos(\theta) =\frac{v_{x}}{v_{y}} \\ cos(\theta) = \frac{18}{20} \\ cos(\theta) =0.9 \\ arccos(0.9)=\theta \\ \boxed {\theta \approx 25.84}$
