Answer:

Hydroelectricity is a renewable energy source.

Hydroelectricity increases the stability and reliability of electricity system

Hydroelectricity helps fight climate changes.

Explanation:

If we use hydroelectricity our country would be in good climate and not a bad one. And the best facts it is renewable.

Below is a circuit schematic of sources and resistors (Figure 3). VS = 10V , R1 = 100Ω, R2 = 50Ω, R3 = 25Ω, IS = 2A. Calculate t

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

$V_3\approx 4.28\,\,V$

$I_1=0.0572\,\,amps$

$I_3\approx 0.171\,\,amps$

Explanation:

Notice that this is a circuit with resistors R1 and R2 in parallel, connected to resistor R3 in series. It is what is called a parallel-series combination.

So we first find the equivalent resistance for the two resistors in parallel:

$\frac{1}{Re}= \frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}\\\frac{1}{Re}= \frac{1}{100}+\frac{1}{50}\\\frac{1}{Re}= \frac{3}{100}\\Re=\frac{100}{3} \,\,\Omega$

By knowing this, we can estimate the total current through the circuit,:

$Vs=I\,*\,(\frac{100}{3} +25)\\10=I\,*\,\frac{175}{3} \\I=\frac{30}{175} \,amps$

So approximately 0.17 amps

and therefore, we can estimate the voltage drop (V3) in R3 uisng Ohm's law:

$V_3=\frac{30}{175} *\,25=\frac{30}{7} \approx 4.28\,\,V$

So now we know that the potential drop across the parellel resistors must be:

10 V - 4.28 V = 5.72 V

and with this info, we can calculate the current through R1 using Ohm's Law:

$I_1=\frac{V_1}{R_1} =\frac{5.72}{100} =0.0572\,\,amps$

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

0.125 m

Explanation:

Pressure in fluids is given as the product of density, height and acceleration due to gravity and expressed as

P=hdg

Where h is the height, d is density, g is acceleration due to gravity and P is pressure.

Making h the subject of formula then

h=P/dg

Given specific gravity of a substance, its density is equal to specific gravity multiplied by density of water. Taking density of pure water as 1000 kg/m³ then the density of reference fluid will be 1.05*1000=1050 kg/m³

Substituting pressure with 1.29*10³ pa as given then taking g as 9.81 m/s² then

H=1.29*10³÷(9.81*1050)=0.1252366389981068880151448958788408329692m

Rounded off, the height is approximately 0.125 m
