In hydroelectric dams, gravitational potential energy is used to produce electrical energy. What is the mass of water that must

fall over a dam that is 12 m high in order to produce the same amount of energy in an AA battery (10,800 J)?

What mass of water must fall 12m in order to lose 10,800J of gravitational potential energy ?

Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

10,800J = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²) x (12m)

Mass = (10,800J) / (9.8 m/s² x 12m)

Mass = (10,800 / 9.8 x 12) (Joule-sec²/m²)

(Units:  Joule-sec²/m² = N-m-sec²/m² = (kg-m/s²)-m-sec²/m² = <u><em>kg </em></u>)

<u>Mass = 91.8 kg</u>

If Neptune’s mass were reduced, what could be done to maintain the same force of gravitational attraction between Neptune and th
Alenkinab [10]
Make Neptune closer to the sun because then it would have a stronger gravitation pull. Because the closer the objects are, they will have a stronger gravitaional force and when the object has more mass, the gravity is also stronger. So, if the mass is reduced, the gravity force would be reduced, but if you bring neptune closer, the gravity force would increase

How does a wind turbine transform mechanical energy into electrical energy?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

"A turbine takes the kinetic energy of a moving fluid, air in this case, and converts it to a rotary motion. As wind moves past the blades of a wind turbine, it moves or rotates the blades. These blades turn a generator."

Which graph illustrates constant speed and velocity?
boyakko [2]

The correct graph is <u>D</u>.

The graph <em>A</em> is a straight line sloping downwards and it shows that the speed of the body is decreasing at a constant rate. Therefore, this s a graph of a body that is under a constant deceleration.

The graph B is a straight line which slopes upwards. Hence the graph shows that the speed of the body increases at a constant rate. Therefore, this is a graph of a body that is accelerating at a constant rate.

The graph C is curved line, which curves upwards. The slope of the curve increases with time. This is therefore, a graph of a body which is under increasing acceleration.

The graph D, however is a straight line parallel to the time axis. The speed of the body has the same value at all times. Therefore, Graph D is the graph which shows the motion of a body with constant speed.
