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

When the wedges are removed, the cars will move. Predict which direction they will move and when they will stop
Neko [114]

Answer: hello your question lacks the required diagram attached below is the required diagram

answer : Both cars will move backwards and stop due to friction.

Explanation:

Given that both cars are negatively charged, When the wedges are removed both cars will move backwards ( repelling each other ) because they are like poles, and Like poles repel each other. while unlike poles attract each other ( forward movement )  .

The cars will later come to a stop due to frictional forces between the cars and the surface.

Earth's subsystems are the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Energy and matter are transferred when Earth's sub
Leona [35]

Answer:

ok

Explanation:

The Earth is made of several subsystems or "spheres" that interact to form a complex and continuously changing whole called the Earth system. Scale

Processes operating in the Earth system take place on spatial scales varying from fractions of millimeters to thousands of kilometers, and on time scales that range from milliseconds to billions of years.

Examples of instantaneous - breathing; rotation of the Earth; earthquake

Examples of long term - making coal; plate tectonics

Cycles

The Earth system is characterized by numerous overlapping cycles in which matter is recycled over and over again. Cycles involve multiple spheres and systems interactions.

Examples of cycles: day and night; rock cycle; seasons

Energy

The Earth system is powered by energy from two major sources: the Sun and the planet's internal heat.

Humans and the Earth System

People are part of the Earth system and they impact and are impacted by its materials and processes.

Which statements describe a situation with a displacement of zero? Check all that apply.traveling south for 30 miles, then turni
cluponka [151]

Answer:

• riding on a Ferris wheel whose entrance and exit are the same

• walking around the block, starting from and ending at the same house

• running exactly one lap around a racetrack

Explanation:

Displacement simply means the.change in position of an object. In a situation whereby the initial and final position are thesame, the displacement will be zero.

The statements that describe a situation with a displacement of zero include:

• riding on a Ferris wheel whose entrance and exit are the same

• walking around the block, starting from and ending at the same house

• running exactly one lap around a racetrack

If a Styrofoam ball and a steel ball are the exact same size & shape,which has more mass?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Steel

Explanation:

Mass is density times volume.

m = ρV

Since they have the same size and shape, they have the same volume.

Steel has a higher density than Styrofoam, so at the same volume, the steel ball will have more mass.
