1000 kg of water initially at 6 m/s runs through a hydro-generator. If the water leaves the generator at velocity of 4 m/s, and

the efficiency of the generator is 100%, how much electricity in kJ (2 significant figures) will we get?

4 0

Answer:

8.00 kJ

Explanation:

The first thing is to determine what quantities are there.

the mass of water = 1 000 kg

initial velocity, u = 6 m/s

final velocity, v = 4 m/s

the generator is operating at 100 % efficiency, so there is no energy loss.

The kinetic energy, Ek is converted to electrical energy, therefore Ek = electrical energy.

The kinetic energy is calculated as follows:

Ek = 1/2 mv²

    = 1/2×(1 000)× (4)²

    = 8 000 J/s

    = 8.00 kJ  Ans

A capacitor has a capacitance of 0. 40 µF at a voltage of 9. 0 V. What is the charge on each plate of the capacitor? µC.
ASHA 777 [7]

The capacitor is a device that can store electrical energy. It is a two-conductor configuration. The charge on each plate of the capacitor will be 3.6 µC.

<h3>What is a capacitor?</h3>

A capacitor is a device that can store electrical energy. It is a two-conductor configuration separated by an insulating medium that carries charges of equal size and opposite sign.

An electric insulator or vacuum, such as glass, paper, air, or a semi-conductor termed a dielectric, can be used as the non-conductive zone.

The given data in the problem is;

C is the capicitence of capicitor= 0. 40 µF

V is the  voltage = 9. 0 V

Q is a charge on each plate of the capacitor=?µC.

The formula for the capacitor is given as;

\rm Q=CV \\\\ \rm Q=0. 40 \times 9. 0 \\\\ \rm Q=3.6 \ \mu C.

Hence the charge on each plate of the capacitor will be 3.6 µC.

What is the direction of the current flowing through the wire—left or right? The current flows to the .
muminat

Answer:

right

Explanation:

Current flows from the positive (+ve) terminal of the battery to the negative (-ve). This is called conventional current flow.

Therefore, the electrons are negatively charged and want to get away from the Negative Terminal and go to the Positive Terminal, Hence the electrons move from left to right and current flows from right to left.

You have landed on an unknown planet, newtonia, and want to know what objects will weigh there. you find that when a certain too
AleksandrR [38]
Refer to the diagram shown.

Because the surface is frictionless, the resistive for, R, is zero.

Let m = the mass of the object.
Let a =  acceleration due to the applied force.
Therefore
12.7 N = (m kg)*(a m/s²)
a = 12.7/m  m/s²

The object travels  16.1 m in 2.5 s, starting from rest. Therefore
16.1 N = (1/2)*(12.7/m m/s²)*(2.5 s)² = 39.6875/m  N
m = 16.1/39.6875 = 0.4057 kg

For freefall, let g =  acceleration due to gravity.
The time to fall from 10.3 m is 2.88 s, therefore
10.3 m = (1/2)*(g m/s²)*(2.88 s)² = 4.1472g m
g = 10.3/4.1472 = 2.484 m/s²

Answer:
The gravitational acceleration on the planet is 2.5 m/s² (nearest tenth)

2. A solid plastic cube of side 0.2 m is submerged in a liquid of density 0.8 hgm calculate the
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

vpg = 0.064 N

Explanation:

Upthrust = Volume of fluid displaced

upthrust liquid on the cube g=10ms−2

vpg =0.2 x 0.2 x 0.2 x0.8 x 10= 0.064N

vpg = 0.064 N

hope it helps.

A sonar pulse sent out by a boat arrives back after 4 seconds. If the speed of sound in water is 1600m/s, how deep is the water?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

the boat would be deeped by 3200 m

Explanation:

Given that

The boat arrives back after 4 seconds

And, the speed of the sound in water is 1,600 m/s

We need to find out how much deep is the water

So,

As we know that

Distance = ( speed × time) ÷ 2

Here we divided by 2 because the boat arrives back

= (1600 × 4) ÷ 2

= 3200 m

Therefore the boat would be deeped by 3200 m
