In the Niagara Falls hydroelectric generating plant, the energy of falling water is converted into electricity. The height of th

e falls is about 48 meters. Assuming that the energy conversion is highly efficient, approximately how much energy is obtained from one kilogram of falling water? Therefore, approximately how many kilograms of water must go through the generators every second to produce a megawatt of power (106 watts)?

Answer:

2.124 kg of water

Explanation:

height of the falls is about 48 meters.

Mass of water needed is 1kg = 1000g

Power needed is 106 watts.

The amount of energy in 106 watts in one sec is 106 joules.

To calculate the energy of the 1kg falling water = Mgh

Energy = 1000*9.81*48

Energy = 470880 joules.

1 megawatt is = 1000000watts

The kilogram of water needed is 1000000/470880 = 2.124 kg of water

A bowling ball moving with a velocity of 5V to the right collides elastically with a beach ball moving at a velocity 2V to the l
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

v'_2=3V

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Bowling ball Speed v_1=5 m/s

Beach ball Speed v_2=2 m/s

Let The Mass be equal i.e

 M_1=M_2

Therefore

Generally the equation for Velocity of beach ball after collision v'_2 is mathematically given by

Since Velocity is Vector Quantity

Therefore

 v'_2=v_1-v_2

 v'_2=5-2

 v'_2=3V

vagabundo [1.1K]
The characteristic of epithelial cells that makes them ideal for providing this type of protection is that the cells are packed tightly together. 
Skin, the body's largest organ,is our first and best defense against external aggressors. The many layers work hard to protect us, however when its condition is compromised, its ability to work as an effective barrier is impaired.

a) ¿En qué posición es mínima la magnitud de la fuerza sobre la masa de un sistema masa-resorte? 1) x 0, 2) x A o 3) x A. ¿Por q
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

a) the correct answer is 1 , b) x=0   F=0, a=0

x= 0.050    F= -7.5 N,  a= -15 m/s²

x= 0.150     F= 22.5 N,  a=- 45 m/s²

Explanation:

a) In a mass - spring system the force is given by the Hooke force,

          F = - k x

Analyzing this equation we see that the outside is proportional to the elongation from the equilibrium position, therefore the force is zero when the spring is in its equilibrium position

the correct answer is 1

b) we assume that the given values ​​are from the equilibrium position of the spring.

Let's calculate the force

x = 0

      F = 0

x = 0.050

      F = - 150 0.050

      F = - 7.50 N

x = 0.150

      F = - 150 0.150

      F = - 22.5 N

let's use Newton's second law to find the acceleration

      F = m a

      a = F / m

x = 0 m

      a = 0

x = 0.050 m

      a = -7.50 / 0.50

      a = - 15 m / s²

x = 0.150 m

      a = - 22.5 / 0.50

      a = - 45 m/s²

TRASLATE

a) En un sistema masa – resorte  la fuerza es dada por la fuerza de Hoke,  

          F= - k x

analizando esta ecuación vemos que la fuera es proporcional a la elongación desde la posición de equilibrio, por lo tanto la fuerza es cero cuando el resorte esta en su posición de equilibrio

la respuesta correcta es  1

b)suponemos que los valores dados son desde la posición de equilibrio del resorte.

Calculemos la fuerza  

x=0  

              F= 0

x=0.050  

              F = - 150 0.050

              F= - 7.50 N

x= 0.150  

                F= - 150 0.150

                F= - 22.5 N

usemos la segunda ley de Newton para encontrar la aceleración

          F = m a

          a = F/m

x =0  m

        a = 0

x= 0.050 m

         a = -7.50/ 0.50

          a =- 15 m/s²

x= 0.150 m

          a= - 22.5 / 0.50

          a= - 45 m/s²
