There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, water is available in almost every place on the Earth. It doesn't pollute the air, doesn't cause health use and is easily handle.
Other factor is the fact that water has a really high specific heat. This means that water, and more specifically steam, can aborb and transport more energy. A lower heat capacity would imply the need to boil more of the liquid to obtain the same amount of energy. This combine with the fact that water expands at a large rate when boiling, combine with everything mentioned previously, and you get a liquid with all the characteristics that a efficient turbine requires to work.
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = 2.50 m/s²
t = 4 s
Find: v
v = at + v₀
v = (2.50 m/s²) (4 s) + 0 m/s
v = 10 m/s
Answer:
v₂ = 5.7 m/s
Explanation:
We will apply the law of conservation of momentum here:
where,
Total Initial Momentum = 340 kg.m/s
m₁ = mass of bike
v₁ = final speed of bike = 0 m/s
m₂ = mass of Sheila = 60 kg
v₂ = final speed of Sheila = ?
Therefore,
<u>v₂ = 5.7 m/s </u>
Distance in the y direction.
Answer:
0.405 seconds
Explanation:
Consider the amount of time it takes the block to fall from 53 m up to 14 m above the ground; then consider the amount of time it takes the block to fall from 53 m up to 2 m above the ground.
First, d = (1/2) gt^2 or t= ( 2 d / g)^1/2
= ( 2 × 39 / 9.8)^1/2 = 2.8212 seconds
Then, to fall from 53 down to 2 meters...
d = (1/2) gt^2 or t= ( 2 d / g)^1/2
= ( 2 * 51/ 9.8 )^1/2 = 3.2262 seconds
So the amount of time it takes for the block to fall from 14 m upto 2 m above the ground
3.2262 - 2.8212 = 0.405 seconds
this is how much time there is from when the man sees the block until it hits him. Not much time...
