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.

What is the difference between a general and a specific tolerance, and how can you tell the difference on a drawing?
Gnesinka [82]
<span>During the reading of a blueprint, a general tolerance pertains to all dimensions that are not independently identified. All tolerances are +\- .030. General tolerances are mostly found in the blueprint’s set of information. Let’s say for example, a compact tolerance is required, then a specific tolerance is considered for specific areas of the blueprint. These kinds of tolerances are commonly found along the affected area.</span>

You are sitting on a merry-go-round at a distance of 2m from its center. It spins 15 times in 3 min. What distance do you move a
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

A) 12.57 m

B) 5 RPM

C) 3.142 m/s

Explanation:

A) Distance covered in 1 Revolution:

The formula that gives the relationship between the arc length or distance covered during circular motion to the angle subtended or the revolutions, is given as follows:

s = rθ

where,

s = distance covered = ?

r = radius of circle = 2 m

θ = Angle = 2π radians  (For 1 complete Revolution)

Therefore,

s = (2 m)(2π radians)

<u>s = 12.57 m</u>

B) Angular Speed:

The formula for angular speed is given as:

ω = θ/t

where,

ω = angular speed = ?

θ = angular distance covered = 15 revolutions

t = time taken = 3 min

Therefore,

ω = 15 rev/3 min

<u>ω = 5 RPM</u>

C) Linear Speed:

The formula that gives the the linear speed of an object moving in a circular path is given as:

v = rω

where,

v = linear speed = ?

r = radius = 2 m

ω = Angular Speed in rad/s = (15 rev/min)(2π rad/1 rev)(1 min/60 s) = 1.571 rad/s

Therefore,

v = (2 m)(1.571 rad/s)

<u>v = 3.142 m/s</u>
