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 will be the force if the particle's charge is tripled and the electric field strength is halved? Give your answer in terms
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

1.5F

Explanation:

Using

E= F/q

Where F= force

E= electric field

q=charge

F= Eq

So if qis tripled and E is halved we have

F= (E/2)3q

F= 1.5Eq=>> 1.5F

A 50-kg satellite circles the Earth in an orbit with a period of 120 min. What minimum energy is required to change the orbit to
uysha [10]

Answer: 2.94×10^8 J

Explanation:

Using the relation

T^2 = (4π^2/GMe) r^3

Where v= velocity

r = radius

T = period

Me = mass of earth= 6×10^24

G = gravitational constant= 6.67×10^-11

4π^2/GMe = 4π^2 / [(6.67x10^-11 x6.0x10^24)]

= 0.9865 x 10^-13

Therefore,

T^2 = (0.9865 × 10^-13) × r^3

r^3 = 1/(0.9865 × 10^-13) ×T^2

r^3 = (1.014 x 10^13) × T^2

To find r1 and r2

T1 = 120min = 120*60 = 7200s

T2 = 180min = 180*60= 10800s

Therefore,

r1 = [(1.014 x 10^13)7200^2]^(1/3) = 8.07 x 10^6 m

r2 = [(1.014 x 10^13)10800^2]^(1/3) = 10.57 x 10^6 m

Required Mechanical energy

= - GMem/2 [1/r2 - 1/r1]

= (6.67 x 10^-11 x 6.0 x 10^24 * 50)/2 * [(1/8.07 × 10^-6 )- (1/10.57 × 10^-6)]

= (2001 x 10^7)/2 * (0.1239 - 0.0945)

= (1000.5 × 10^7) × 0.0294

= 29.4147 × 10^7 J

= 2.94 x 10^8 J.

Describe how gps data are used in the study of certain animals
zheka24 [161]

GPS also known as Global positioning system is a satellite-based radio -navigation system used for many purposes, animal tracking being one of them.

In GPS tracking, a GPS tag is placed on the animal. This picks up signals from special satellites and the data is stored on-board the tag or transmitted to the user through a communication network.

These tags provide very accurate location estimations for animals. Thus it helps scientists and other wildlife observers with the accurate locations of animals and helps them in their studying and thesis work.
