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.

The value of acceleration due to gravity (g) on Pluto is about . 0.61 meters/second2. How much will an object that weighs 250 ne
Annette [7]
First, determine the mass of the object by dividing its weight on Earth by 9.8 m/s² as shown below,
                                   m = 250 N / 9.8 m/s² = 25.51 kg
Then, multiply the obtained mass by the acceleration due to gravity (g) on Pluto. 
                                  W (in Pluto) = (25.51 kg) x (0.61 m/s²)  = 15.56 N
Therefore, the object will only weigh 15.56 N.

Which of the following statements about the conservation of momentum is not correct? Momentum is conserved for a system of objec
Olin [163]

Answer:

wrong statement :  Momentum is not conserved for a system of objects in a head-on collision.

Explanation:

In a head on collision of two objects , two equal and opposite forces are created at the point of collision . These two forces create two impulses in opposite direction which results in equal and opposite changes in momentum in each of them . Hence net change in momentum is zero. In this way momentum is conserved in head on collision of two objects.
