Answer:

The material effects the speed if sound.

Explanation:

A denser material whose atoms are tightly packed will quickly transfer energy as they are close to each other than mediums like air.

The mass of water that must be raised is $5.25\cdot 10^7 kg$

Explanation:

Since the process is 70% efficiency, the power in output to the turbine can be written as

$P_{out} = 0.70 P_{in}$

where $P_{in}$ is the power in input.

The power in input can be written as

$P_{in} = \frac{W}{t}$

where

W is the work done in lifting the water

t = 3 h = 10,800 s is the time elapsed

The work done in lifting the water is given by

$W=mgh$

where

m is the mass of water

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

h = 45 m is the height at which the water is lifted

Combining the three equations together, we get:

$P_{out} = 0.70 \frac{mgh}{t}$

Where

$P_{out} = 150 MW = 150\cdot 10^6 W$

And solving for m, we find:

$m=\frac{Pt}{0.70gh}=\frac{(1.50\cdot 10^6)(10800)}{(0.70)(9.8)(45)}=5.25\cdot 10^7 kg$

The amplitude of oscillation is the maximum distance between the oscillating weight and the equilibrium position. Determine the

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The frequency does not depend on the amplitude for any (ideal) mechanical or electromagnetic waves.

In electromagnetism we have that the relation is:

Velocity = wavelenght*frequency.

So the amplitude of the wave does not have any effect here.

For a mechanical system like an harmonic oscillator (that can be used to describe almost any oscillating system), we have that the frequency is:

f = (1/2*pi)*√(k/m)

Where m is the mass and k is the constant of the spring, again, you can see that the frequency only depends on the physical properties of the system, and no in how much you displace it from the equilibrium position.

This happens because as more you displace the mass from the equilibrium position, more will be the force acting on the mass, so while the "path" that the mass has to travel is bigger, the mas moves faster, so the frequency remains unaffected.

GREYUIT [131]

A marble rolls off a tabletop 1.15 m high and hits the floor at a point 4 m away from the edge of the table in the horizontal direction,

t= 0.45 seconds.
V=2.22m/s
VT=4.95 m/s

This is further explained below.

<h3>What is its speed when it hits the floor...?</h3>

Generally, the equation for motion is mathematically given as

S= ut + 0.5at²

Therefore

y = Voy t + 0.5gt^2

1 = 0.5x 98 x 6²

1=4.9t^2

$t=\sqrt{0.2041 }$

t= 0.45 seconds.

b) Horizontal motions are uniform.

V=Horizontal displacement/time

V=1/0.45

V=2.22m/s

Vx: 2.22 m/s At bottom,

Vy² = Voy² + 2as

Vy² = 2x95x1

Vy² = 19.6

Total velocity

$VT=\sqrt{( 2.22 m/)^2+19.6}$

VT=4.95 m/s
