Answer:

Power= 6.84×10⁸ W

Explanation:

Given Data

Niagara falls at rate of=1.4×10⁶ kg/s

falls=49.8 m

To find

Power Generated

Solution

Regarding this problem

GPE (gravitational potential energy) declines each second is given from that you will  find much the kinetic energy of the falling water is increasing each second.

So power can be found by follow

Power= dE/dt = d/dt (mgh)

Power= gh dm/dt

Power= 1.4×10⁶ kg/s × 9.81 m/s² × 49.8 m

Power= 6.84×10⁸ W

The angle of elevation from a point on the ground to the top of a pyramid is 37 degrees 50​' The angle of elevation from a point
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The height of the pyramid is approximately 104 Ft. See the graphic attached.

Explanation:

First, you have to plot to realize that you have two rectangle triangles, formed by the different elevation points of view. From there you can have a system of two equations, with two unknown values.

Equation (1)

tan 37^{o}50'= \frac{Ph}{x} \\\\Ph=tan 37^{o}50'  x= 0.7766 x

Equation (2)

tan 18^{o}10'=\frac{Ph}{x+183} \\\\Ph=[tan 18^{o}10'][x+183]=[0.3281][x+183]

Matching (1) and (2)

0.7766 x=0.3281(x+183)\\\\(0.7766-0.3281)x=60.05\\\\x=\frac{60.05}{0.4485} =133.89ft

replacing x value in (1)

Ph=0.7766*133.89=103.9789\\Ph = 104 ft

an ice cube placed in microwave melts in five minutes and it takes 3.50 kj of energy to melt it. what is the power of the microw
Artist 52 [7]

If the ice absorbed 350,000 joules in 5 minutes, then it absorbed energy
at the rate of

   (350,000 joules) / (5 x 60 seconds)  =<em>  1,166-2/3 watts</em> .

Surely the ice cube didn't absorb every joule delivered to the cooking chamber,
so the microwave oven's cooking power had to be significantly more than that.

Two bodies of mass m₁ &amp; m₂ are moving with the same velocity 'v' K.E. will be greater for??
boyakko [2]

Answer:

the one with a higher mass

Explanation:

The body with more mass will have the greater kinetic energy of the two.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of body. It is mathematically expressed as:

           K.E  = \frac{1}{2}  m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

 Since the velocity of the two bodies are the same, and mass is directly proportional to kinetic energy, the body with more mass will have a higher kinetic energy.

 So between mass m1 and mass m2, the one with a greater mass will have a higher kinetic energy
