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.

A student makes the following statement
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The current is not used up. The electrons flow through the entire circuit and this travel is the current. They flow until they are not charged anymore. That is also why the circuit must be closed or else electrons would escape not just light it up for a second then go out.

galina1969 [7]

Question:

A wire 2.80 m in length carries a current of 5.20 A in a region where a uniform magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.430 T. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire assuming the following angles between the magnetic field and the current.

(a)60 (b)90 (c)120

Answer:

(a)5.42 N (b)6.26 N (c)5.42 N

Explanation:

From the question

Length of wire (L) = 2.80 m

Current in wire (I) = 5.20 A

Magnetic field (B) = 0.430 T

Angle are different in each part.

The magnetic force is given by

F=I \times B \times L \times sin(\theta)

So from data

F = 5.20 A \times 0.430 T \times 2.80 sin(\theta)\\\\F=6.2608 sin(\theta) N

Now sub parts

(a)

\theta=60^{o}\\\\Force = 6.2608 sin(60^{o}) N\\\\Force = 5.42 N

(b)

\theta=90^{o}\\\\Force = 6.2608 sin(90^{o}) N\\\\Force = 6.26 N

(c)

\theta=120^{o}\\\\Force = 6.2608 sin(120^{o}) N\\\\Force = 5.42 N

A flute player hears four beats per second when she compares her note to a 523 HzHz tuning fork (the note C). She can match the
laiz [17]

Answer:

527 Hz

Solution:

As per the question:

Beat frequency of the player, \Delta f = 4\ beats/s

Frequency of the tuning fork, f = 523 Hz

Now,

The initial frequency can be calculated as:

\Delta f = f - f_{i}

f_{i} = f \pm \Delta f

when

f_{i} = f + \Delta f = 523 + 4 = 527 Hz

when

f_{i} = f - \Delta f = 523 - 4 = 519 Hz

But we know that as the length of the flute increases the frequency decreases

Hence, the initial frequency must be 527 Hz
