Answer:

Hydroelectricity

Explanation:

There are varipus situations in which mechanical energy is turned into electrical energy for use but the most common is in hydroelectricity.

The attachment will give a better understanding pf how this works.

You stand on a straight desert road at night and observe a vehicle approaching. This vehicle is equipped with two small headligh
spayn [35]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Reyleigh's criteria. Here the resolution of the eye is defined as 1.22 times the wavelength over the diameter of the eye. Mathematically this is,

\theta = \frac{1.22 \lambda }{D}

Here,

D is diameter of the eye

D = \frac{1.22 (539nm)}{5.11 mm}

D= 1.287*10^{-4}m

The angle that relates the distance between the lights and the distance to the lamp is given by,

Sin\theta = \frac{d}{L}

For small angle, sin\theta = \theta

sin \theta = \frac{d}{L}

Here,

d = Distance between lights

L = Distance from eye to lamp

For small angle sin \theta = \theta

Therefore,

L = \frac{d}{sin\theta}

L = \frac{0.691m}{1.287*10^{-4}}

L = 5367m

Therefore the distance is 5.367km.

A solar eclipse will occur Group of answer choices
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

3. at new Moon only when the Moon is on the ecliptic.

Explanation:

  • Solar eclipse is the condition when the moon comes in between the sun and the earth. In this condition the moon casts its shadow on the earth.
  • Whether the eclipse is a total solar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse or an annular solar eclipse depends on various factors, but the position of the moon must be on the same orbital plane as that of the earth's orbit around the sun.
  • The sun is about 400 times larger than the moon in size and the sun is almost 400 times farther from the earth than the moon is, this makes it possible for the moon to cover the sun completely leading to a complete solar eclipse.
  • As we know that the orbit of the earth around the sun and the orbit of the moon around the earth is elliptical which leads to a variation in the distance from their rotating centers, so not of every eclipse the moon covers the sun completely developing an annular eclipse.
  • When the moon is close enough to the earth on the ecliptic but not completely aligned in between the sun and the earth leads to a partial solar eclipse.

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.66 m, the pendulum bob has a mass of 310 grams, and it is released at an angle of 12 degree
lina2011 [118]
A) the periodic time is given by the equation;
 T= 2π√(L/g)
For the frequency will be obtained by 1/T (Hz)
T = 2 × 3.14 √ (0.66/9.81)
   = 6.28 × √0.0673
    = 1.6289 Seconds
Frequency = 1/T = f = 1/1.6289
 thus; frequency = 0.614 Hz

b)  The vertical distance, the height is given by
 h= 0.66 cos 12
 h = 0.65 m
Vertical fall at the lowest point = 0.66 - 0.65 = 0.01 m
Applying conservation of energy
energy lost (MgΔh) = KE gained (1/2mv²)
 mgh = 1/2mv²
  v² = 2gΔh = 2×9.81 × 0.01 
                   = 0.1962
v = 0.443 m/s

c) total energy = KE + GPE = KE when GPE is equal to zero (at the lowest point possible)
Thus total energy is equal to;
E = 1/2mv²
   = 1/2 × 0.310 × 0.443²
   = 0.0304 J

someone help me please haha Calculate the braking force of a lorry decelerating at a rate of 8 m/s² with a mass of 5000 kg.
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

40000 N

Explanation:

Force: This cam be defined as the product of mass and acceleration.

From the question,

The braking force of the lorry will be the same in magnitude as the force at which the lorry is moving.

F = ma..................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the lorry, a = acceleration/deceleration of the lorry.

Given: m = 5000 kg, a = 8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = 5000(8)

F = 40000 N

Use newton's first law of motion to explain why you feel tossed around whenever a roller coaster goes over a hill or through a l
ikadub [295]
Newton's first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest && an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted on by another force. With that being said you feel tossed around because you are initially at rest but when you ride the roller coaster you take it's course of motion. 

Hoped this helped!
