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.

An Na ion has a charge of +1 and an O ion has a charge of –2. How many Na ions does one O ion need to balance charges
Aleonysh [2.5K]
Because Na⁺ ion lacks an electron and O²⁻ has two extra electrons extra, to balance the charge, we need 2 Na⁺ ions.
 
All ions, atoms and molecules want to get to the minimum energy state, and that state is when the ion, atom, or molecule is neutral, that's why all of them want to balance their charges.

Stress distributed over an area is best described as: a) External force b) Axial force c) Radial force d) Internal resistive for
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Stress is the force per unit area that tend to change the shape of body.

Stress is defined as internal resistive force per unit area.

         \texttt{Stress}=\frac{\texttt{Internal resistive force}}{\texttt{Area}}

         \sigma =\frac{F}{A}

So, so stress distributed over an area is best described as internal resistive force.

Option D is the correct answer.

A 1.50-V battery supplies 0.414 W of power to a small flashlight. If the battery moves 4.93 1020 electrons between its terminals
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

2.86×10⁻¹⁸ seconds

Explanation:

Applying,

P = VI................ Equation 1

Where P = Power, V = Voltage, I = Current.

make I the subject of the equation

I = P/V................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: P = 0.414 W, V = 1.50 V

Substitute into equation 2

I = 0.414/1.50

I = 0.276 A

Also,

Q = It............... Equation 3

Where Q = amount of charge, t = time

make t the subject of the equation

t = Q/I.................. Equation 4

From the question,

4.931020 electrons has a charge of (4.931020×1.6020×10⁻¹⁹) coulombs

Q = 7.899×10⁻¹⁹ C

Substitute these value into equation 4

t =  7.899×10⁻¹⁹/0.276

t = 2.86×10⁻¹⁸ seconds
