Answer:
KE = 
m
Explanation:
In the generation of energy from hydroelectric power station, the motion of water, and the turbines are paramount. The falling flowing water turns the blades of the turbine, which in-turn causes the movement of a coil within a strong magnetic field.
The motion of the coil which cuts the strong magnetic field induces current. Thus, the system generates electrical energy.
The equation that links kinetic energy (KE), mass (m) and speed (v) can be expressed as:
KE = m
A) Agreed.
<span>b) Value agreed but units should be W (watts). </span>
<span>c) Here's one method... </span>
<span>15 miles = 24140 m </span>
<span>1 gallon of gasoline contains 1.4×10⁸ J. </span>
<span>So moving a distance of 24140m requires gasoline containing 1.4×10⁸ J </span>
<span>Therefore moving a distance of 1m requires gasoline containing 1.4×10⁸/24140 = 5800 J </span>
<span>Overcoming rolling resitance for 1m requires (useful) work = force x distance = 1000x1 = 1000J </span>
<span>So 5800J (in the gasoline) provides 1000J (overcoming rolling resistance) of useful work for each metre moved. </span>
<span>Efficiency = useful work/total energy supplied </span>
<span>= 1000/5800 </span>
<span>= 0.17 (=17%) </span>
