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

Consider the following three statements: (i) For any electro-magnetic radiation, the product of the wavelength and the frequency
Scilla [17]

Answer:

A and B

Explanation:

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

c=frequency\times Wavelength

c is the speed of light having value 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Thus, the product of the wavelength and the frequency is constant and equal to 3\times 10^8\ m/s

<u>Option A is correct.</u>

Given, Frequency = 1\times 10^{18}\ Hz

Thus, Wavelength is:

Wavelength=\frac{c}{Frequency}

Wavelength=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1\times 10^{18}}\ m

Wavelength=3\times 10^{-10}\ m

Also, 1 m = 3\times 10^{-10} Å

So,

<u>Wavelength = 3.0 Å</u>

<u>Option B is correct.</u>

As stated above, the speed of electromagnetic radiation is constant. Hence, each radiation of the spectrum travels with same speed.

<u>Option C is incorrect.</u>

- A fridge has a maximum static friction force
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

They will move the fridge if they all push in the same direction, but it will not move with constant velocity

Explanation:

The maximum static friction force is

F_f = -250 N (negative sign since its direction is opposite to the push applied by the people)

Sam can apply a force of 130 N, while Amir and Andre can apply a push of 65 N each, so the total force that they can apply, if they push in the same direction, will be:

F=130 + 65 +65=260 N

This force is larger than the frictional force, so the fridge will start moving.

However, the net force on the fridge will be:

\sum F = 260 N - 250 N = 10 N

And according to Newton's second law,

\sum F = ma

where m is the mass of the fridge and a its acceleration, since the net force is not zero, then the fridge will have a non-zero acceleration, so it will not move with constant  velocity.

A wire, 1.0 m long, with a mass of 90 g, is under tension. A transverse wave is propagated on the wire, for which the frequency
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

T = 712.9 N

Explanation:

First, we will find the speed of the wave:

v = fλ

where,

v = speed of the wave = ?

f = frequency = 890 Hz

λ = wavelength = 0.1 m

Therefore,

v = (890 Hz)(0.1 m)

v = 89 m/s

Now, we will find the linear mass density of the wire:

\mu = \frac{m}{L}

where,

μ = linear mass density of wie = ?

m = mass of wire = 90 g = 0.09 kg

L = length of wire = 1 m

Therefore,

\mu = \frac{0.09\ kg}{1\ m}

μ = 0.09 kg/m

Now, the tension in wire (T) will be:

T = μv² = (0.09 kg/m)(89 m/s)²

<u>T = 712.9 N</u>

Explain how Pascal's principle can be used to design a fluid power system and describe how a fluid power system works.
zhenek [66]
Pascal's law of fluid transfer states that when there is an increase in fluid pressure, the rest of the extrinsic variables also increases. For example, in a flow of liquid in an orifice, there is a contraction of diameter in the orifice part. The fluid that will go in there increases in pressure and thereby an increase in velocity as well.
