A dam is used to block the passage of a river and to generate electricity. Approximately 5.73 × 104 kg of water fall each second

through a height of 19.6 m. If 85 % of the gravitational potential energy of the water were converted to electrical energy, how much power would be generated?

Answer:

9.36 MW

Explanation:

Let g = 9.81 m/s2. Then the gravitational energy of that much water at a height of 19.6 m is as following

E_P = mgh = 5.73*10^4*9.81*19.6 = 11017414.8 J per second or 11017414.8 W

If only 85% of this energy is converted to electrical energy then the power generated would be

11017414.8 * 85% = 9364802.58 W or 9.36 MW

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

\boxed{3 \ Significant \ figures}

Explanation:

Total spectators = 5000

Counted by the groups of ten, So at last the result will be:

=> 5000/10 = 500

Significant figures in 500 are 3

A 1 800-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 4.60 m before coming into contact
N76 [4]

Answer:

F = 614913.88 N

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of pile driver; m = 1800 kg

Height of fall of pole driver; h = 4.6 m

Depth driven into beam; d = 13.6 cm = 0.136 m

Now, from energy equations and applying to this question, we can write that;

Workdone = Change in potential energy

Formula for workdone is; W = F × d

While the average potential energy here is; W = mg(h + d)

Thus;

Fd = mg(h + d)

Where F is the average force exerted by the beam on the pile driver while in bringing it to rest.

Making F the subject, we have;

F = mg(h + d)/d

F = 1800 × 9.81 × (4.6 + 0.136)/0.136

F = 614913.88 N
