When water falls through a dam and turns a turbine connected

Physics
1 answer:
weqwewe [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The energy transformations that occur is Mechanical → electrical → light.

Explanation:

  • When the water falls through the dam the gravitational potential energy of water is transformed into kinetic energy.
  • This energy rotates the turbine (mechanical energy) connected to a generator.
  • Now this mechanical energy is converted into electrical form through the process of electromagnetic induction (when a conductor cuts the magnetic field, electricity is produced).
  • The electricity thus produced is driven to different offices and houses through wires.
  • By drawing this current we light our homes and offices.

For the circuit shown in the figure(figure 1) find the current through each resistor. Express your answers using two significant
Angelina_Jolie [31]

The current flowing in each resistor of the circuit is 4 A.

<h3>Equivalent resistance of the series resistors</h3>

The equivalent resistance of the series circuit is calculated as follows;

6 Ω and 4 Ω are in series = 10 Ω

5 Ω and 10Ω are in series = 15 Ω

<h3>Effective resistance of the circuit</h3>

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} \\\\R = \frac{R_1R_2}{R_1 + R_2} \\\\R = \frac{10 \times 15}{10 + 15} \\\\R = 6 \ ohms

<h3>Current flowing in the circuit</h3>

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 24/6

I = 4 A

The two forces acting on a skydiver are __________ and air _____________.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Gravity and

Air resistance

Explanation:

The two forces acting on a skydiver are gravitational force and air resistance.

Gravitational force is a force that tends to pull all massive bodies towards the center of the earth. It works on all bodies that has mass. The larger or bigger the mass, the more the pull of gravity on the body.

Air resistance is the drag of air on a body as it passes to it. It is resisting force.

  • When a sky diver jumps out of a plane, he/she encounters both gravity and air resistance.
  • It soon balances both force and attain terminal velocity.
  • Air resistance is a frictional force that opposes motion.
  • This frictional force pushes in the opposite direction of motion
  • Motion direction is downward due to the celerity caused by gravity.

g If the x-component of a force vector is 5.69 newtons and its y-component is 8.00 newtons, then what is its magnitude?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

F = 9.82 N

Explanation:

given,

Force x-component = 5.69 N

Force y-component = 8 N

magnitude of force = ?

Resultant of force

F = \sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2}

F = \sqrt{5.69^2 + 8^2}

F = \sqrt{32.3761 + 64}

F = \sqrt{96.3761}

F = 9.82 N

Hence, the magnitude of force is equal to 9.82 N

True or false? A protostellar cloud spins faster as it contracts
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

No. The protostellar cloud spins faster in the collapsing stage (stage 1) and becomes much slower in the contraction stage (stage 2)

Explanation:

Once the cloud is so dense that the heat which is being produced in its center cannot easily escape, pressure rapidly rises, and catches up with the weight, or whatever external force is causing the cloud to collapse, and the cloud becomes stable, as a protostellar cloud.

The protostellar cloud will become more dense over thousands of years. This stage of decreasing size is known as a contraction, rather than a collapse. In the contraction stage the cloud has become much slower, and because weight and pressure are more or less in balance. In the first stage of formation, the decrease of size is very rapid, and compressive forces completely overwhelm the pressure of the gas, and we say that the cloud is collapsing.
