Answer:

This hydroelectric power plant has the capability of producing around 78.4 MW of electric energy.

Explanation:

First, we calculate the pressure the water exerts or gains when it travels 200 m below the intake. W have the data:

Density of water = ρ = 1000 kg/m^3

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Height lost = h = 200 m

Volume flow rate = 40 m^3/s

The pressure difference, is now given as:

ΔP = ρgh

ΔP = (1000 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s²)(200 m)

ΔP = 1960000 Pa = 1.96 MPa

Now, we calculate the power capacity of this flow:

Power = ΔP(Volume flow rate)

Power = (1960000 N/m²)(40 m^3/s)

Power = 78400000 Watt

<u>Power = 78.4 MW</u>

Thus, this plant can produce at max 78.4 MW. The actual power produced will be slightly less than this due of the losses and efficiency of turbine system used.

kupik [55]

Answer:

month = input("Input the month (e.g. January, February etc.): ")

day = int(input("Input the day: "))

if month in ('January', 'February', 'March'):

season = 'winter'

elif month in ('April', 'May', 'June'):

season = 'spring'

elif month in ('July', 'August', 'September'):

season = 'summer'

else:

season = 'autumn'

if (month == 'March') and (day > 19):

season = 'spring'

elif (month == 'June') and (day > 20):

season = 'summer'

elif (month == 'September') and (day > 21):

season = 'autumn'

elif (month == 'December') and (day > 20):

season = 'winter'

13. Write a function which is passed two strings. The function creates a new string from the two original strings by copying one
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

I am writing the code in C++. Let me know if you want the program in some other programming language.

#include <iostream>  // includes header file for input output functions

using namespace std;     //to identify objects like cin cout

string CopyStrings(string string1, string string2)  

{   string newString = "";    

   for (int loop = 0; loop < string1.length() ||  

                   loop < string2.length(); loop++)      {      

       if (loop < string1.length())  

           newString += string1[loop];          

       if (loop < string2.length())  

           newString += string2[loop];      }  

   return newString;   }  

int main()  

{   string stringA = "ace";  

   string stringB = "bdf";  

   cout << CopyStrings(stringA, stringB);   }

Output:

abcdef

Explanation:

The function CopyStrings() function takes two strings i.e. string1 and string2 as parameters to copy characters from both the string one character from each.

The newString variable stores the new string after copying characters from both strings string1 and string2.

Then the for loop starts which has a variable loop which is an index variable that traverses through both the strings stored in string1 and string2. The loop continues to execute until it moves through entire length of string1 and string2 which means it copies all the characters from both string1 and string2. length() is used here which returns length of the string1 and string2.

If statement in the for loop checks the character that loop (index) variable is pointing to is less than the string1 length which means it checks each character stored in string1. For example if string1 contains "ace" and loop variable is moving through the string and is currently at "a" then this condition is true. If the condition evaluates to true then the body of if statement is executed. The next statement stores that character a into the newString variable.

Next If statement checks character that loop variable is pointing to is less than the string2 length which means it checks each character stored in string2. For example if string2 contains "bdf" and loop variable is moving through the string and is currently at "b" then this condition is true. If the condition evaluates to true then the body of if statement is executed. The next statement stores that character b into the newString variable.

Then the second iteration starts which again first stores the next character i.e. c from string1 into newString and then stores next character i.e d from string2 into newString.

Then the third iteration starts which again first stores the next character i.e. e from string1 into newString and then stores next character i.e f from string2 into newString.

Then the loop breaks as the loop variable reaches end of both the string1 and string2.

return newString will return the copied string into the output screen which is abcdef.

The screenshot of code along with output is attached.

You want to plate a steel part having a surface area of 160 with a 0.002--thick layer of lead. The atomic mass of lead is 207.19
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

<u><em>To answer this question we assumed that the area units and the thickness units are given in inches.</em></u>

The number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.    

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms of lead we need to find first the volume of the plate:

V = A*t

<u>Where</u>:

A: is the surface area = 160

t: is the thickness = 0.002

<u><em>Assuming that the units given above are in inches we proceed to calculate the volume: </em></u>

V = A*t = 160 in^{2}*0.002 in = 0.32 in^{3}*(\frac{2.54 cm}{1 in})^{3} = 5.24 cm^{3}    

Now, using the density we can find the mass:

m = d*V = 11.36 g/cm^{3}*5.24 cm^{3} = 59.5 g

Finally, with the Avogadros number (N_{A}) and with the atomic mass (A) we can find the number of atoms (N):

N = \frac{m*N_{A}}{A} = \frac{59.5 g*6.022 \cdot 10^{23} atoms/mol}{207.19 g/mol} = 1.73 \cdot 10^{23} atoms    

Hence, the number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.

I hope it helps you!
