Ad libitum [116K]3 years ago
7 0

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

If pressure is increased from 200 kPa to 300 kPa, and the original volume of gas was 1.5 L, what is the new volume? Assume the t
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:      V2 = 1 l

Explanation:

Data

P1 = 200 kPa

P2 = 300 kPa

V1 = 1.5 l

V2 = ?

Formula

                          P1V1 = P2V2

                          V2 = (P1V1) / P2

                          V2 = (200 x 1.5) / 300

                          V2 = 1 l

In 1994, Leroy Burrell of the United States set what was then a new world record for the men’s 100 m run. He ran the 1.00  102
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

61.33 Kg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance = 1×10² m

Time = 9.5 s

Kinetic energy (KE) = 3.40×10³ J

Mass (m) =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity Leroy Burrell. This can be obtained as follow:

Distance = 1×10² m

Time = 9.5 s

Velocity =?

Velocity = Distance / time

Velocity = 1×10² / 9.5

Velocity = 10.53 m/s

Finally, we shall determine the mass of Leroy Burrell. This can be obtained as follow:

Kinetic energy (KE) = 3.40×10³ J

Velocity (v) = 10.53 m/s

Mass (m) =?

KE = ½mv²

3.40×10³ = ½ × m × 10.53²

3.40×10³ = ½ × m × 110.8809

3.40×10³ = m × 55.44045

Divide both side by 55.44045

m = 3.40×10³ / 55.44045

m = 61.33 Kg

Thus, the mass of Leroy Burrell is 61.33 Kg

Consider a standing wave on a string. What is the distance between two adjacent nodes in terms of the wavelength λ of the standi
amid [387]

The distance between the two adjacent nodes = λ/2.

<h3>What is Wavelength?</h3>

A periodic wave's wavelength is its spatial period, or the length over which its form repeats. It is a property of both travelling waves and standing waves as well as other spatial wave patterns. It is the distance between two successive corresponding locations of the same phase on the wave, such as two nearby crests, troughs, or zero crossings. The spatial frequency is the reciprocal of wavelength. The Greek letter lambda (λ) is frequently used to represent wavelength. The term wavelength is also occasionally used to refer to modulated waves, their sinusoidal envelopes, or waves created by the interference of several sinusoids.

The distance between the two adjacent nodes = λ/2.

for the standing wave ,the distance between any two adjacent nodes or antinodes is 1/2 λ.

A motorboat traveling 4 m/s, East encounters a current traveling 3.0 m/s, North. a) What is the resultant velocity of the motorb
Nostrana [21]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity in East, v_1=4\ m/s

Velocity in North, v_2=3\ m/s

(a) The resultant velocity is given by :

v=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}=5\ m/s

(b) The width of the river is, d = 80 m

Let t is the time taken by the boat to travel shore to shore. So,

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{80\ m}{5\ m/s}

t = 16 seconds

(c) Let x is the distance covered by the boat to reach the opposite shore. So,

x=v_2\times t

x=3\ m/s\times 16\ s

x = 48 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.
