a. A dam is usually built at the site of hydroelectric power. As water accumulates, its potential power for producing electric power increases. As this water moves downstream from the dam, mostly through a fall, its kinetic energy is harnessed by turbines and converted to electric energy.
b. One factor is the height of the fall of the water from the dam. The higher the height the higher the kinetic energy of the water and hence can be converted to higher electric energy. The higher the number of coils of the turbine generator being rotated by the water, the higher the conversion to electric current.
c. One is impoundment. This type is the most common and involves the building of a dam to store water and later the water is released to turn turbines. The second type is diversion. This type does not require a dam. Some water is diverted from the main river to create a pen-stock that runs a turbine.
d. The advantage of hydroelectric power is that is is a clean energy source hence does not cause global warming. Global warming can have economic consequences. The operating cost of this type of plant is low hence the costs of electricity are able to be kept low for the consumers. 2 disadvantage is that creating a dam upstream causes a change in the physical and chemical characteristics of the river or water bodies affecting ecosystems. Another is that electricity is dependent on the water regime hence dependency is tied to climate.
This could be Hubble's law, or something related to it. I think there's a possibly Doppler RED SHIFT in the optical spectra of stars etc as observed on the earth. It seems that they are accelerating away from the earth, and that the further away they are the faster they are moving.
It seems that this has been connected to the idea of "The Big Bang" theory of the origin of the universe which seems to have superceded Professor Sir Fred Hoye's Steady State theory of the universe.
There's some Special Relativity in this lot, too.
Answer:
F = 0.78[N]
Explanation:
The given values correspond to forces, we must remember or take into account that the forces are vector quantities, that is, they have magnitude and direction. Since we have two X-Y coordinate axes (two-dimensional), we are going to decompose each of the forces into the X & y components.
<u>For F₁</u>
<u />![F_{y}=2[N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F_%7By%7D%3D2%5BN%5D)
<u />
<u>For F₂</u>
![F_{x}=2*cos(60)\\F_{x}=1[N]\\F_{y}=-2*sin(60)\\F_{y}=-1.73[N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F_%7Bx%7D%3D2%2Acos%2860%29%5C%5CF_%7Bx%7D%3D1%5BN%5D%5C%5CF_%7By%7D%3D-2%2Asin%2860%29%5C%5CF_%7By%7D%3D-1.73%5BN%5D)
<u>For F₃</u>
<u />![F_{x}=-1*sin(60)\\F_{x}=-0.866[N]\\F_{y}=1*cos(60)\\F_{y}=0.5 [N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F_%7Bx%7D%3D-1%2Asin%2860%29%5C%5CF_%7Bx%7D%3D-0.866%5BN%5D%5C%5CF_%7By%7D%3D1%2Acos%2860%29%5C%5CF_%7By%7D%3D0.5%20%5BN%5D)
<u />
Now we can sum each one of the forces in the given axes:
![F_{x}=1-0.866=0.134[N]\\F_{y}=2-1.73+0.5\\F_{y}=0.77[N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F_%7Bx%7D%3D1-0.866%3D0.134%5BN%5D%5C%5CF_%7By%7D%3D2-1.73%2B0.5%5C%5CF_%7By%7D%3D0.77%5BN%5D)
Now using the Pythagorean theorem we can find the total force.
![F=\sqrt{(0.134)^{2} +(0.77)^{2}}\\F= 0.78[N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%3D%5Csqrt%7B%280.134%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B%280.77%29%5E%7B2%7D%7D%5C%5CF%3D%200.78%5BN%5D)
