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

The strength of the electric field at a certain distance from a point charge is represented by E. What is the strength of the el
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Using Coulomb's law equation

Force of the charge = k qQ /d²

and E = F/ q

substitute for F

E = ( K Qq/ d² ) / q

q cancel q

E = KQ / d²

so twice  the distance of the from the point charge will lead to the E ( electric field ) decrease by a 4 = E/4. E is inversely proportional to d²

What is the difference between internal and external force
AnnZ [28]

Answer:External forces are forces caused by external agent outside of the system. Internal forces are forces exchanged by the objects in the system.

Explanation:or our purposes, we will simply say that external forces include the applied force, normal force, tension force, friction force, and air resistance force. And for our purposes, the internal forces include the gravity forces, magnetic force, electrical force, and spring force.HOPE THIS HELPS!!! ^w^

A flywheel with a radius of 0.300 m starts from rest and accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 0.600 rad/s2. Compu
boyakko [2]

Answer:

0.42 m/s²

Explanation:

r = radius of the flywheel = 0.300 m

w₀ = initial angular speed = 0 rad/s

w = final angular speed = ?

θ = angular displacement = 60 deg = 1.05 rad

α = angular acceleration = 0.6 rad/s²

Using the equation

w² = w₀² + 2 α θ

w² = 0² + 2 (0.6) (1.05)

w = 1.12 rad/s

Tangential acceleration is given as

a_{t} = r α = (0.300) (0.6) = 0.18 m/s²

Radial acceleration is given as

a_{r} = r w² = (0.300) (1.12)² = 0.38 m/s²

Magnitude of resultant acceleration is given as

a = \sqrt{a_{t}^{2} + a_{r}^{2}}

a = \sqrt{0.18^{2} + 0.38^{2}}

a = 0.42 m/s²
