Answer:

The maximum electric power output is P_{max} =1.339*10^{9} \ W

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

        The capacity of the hydroelectric plant is \frac{V}{t}   =  690 \ m^3 /s

         The level at which water is been released is h  =  220 \ m

        The efficiency is  \eta  =0.90

       

The electric power output is mathematically represented as

       P  = \frac{PE_l - PE _o}{t}

Where  PE_l is the potential energy at  level h which is mathematically evaluated as  

          PE_l  =  mgh

and  PE_o  is  the potential energy at ground level which is mathematically evaluated as  

          PE_o  =  mg(0)

         PE_o  =  0

So  

         P  = \frac{mgh}{t}

here  m  =   V *  \rho

where V is volume  and  \rho is density of water whose value is  \rho = 1000 kg/m^3

 So  

         P  = \frac{(\rho * V) * gh}{t}

        P  = \frac{V}{t} * gh \rho

substituting values  

       P  =690 * 9.8 * 220 * 1000

      P  =1.488*10^{9} \ W

The maximum possible electric power output is

           P_{max} = P * \eta

substituting values  

         P_{max} =1.488*10^{9} * 0.90

         P_{max} =1.339*10^{9} \ W

Point P and point charge Q are separated by a distance R. The electric field at point P has magnitude E. How could the magnitude
Angelina_Jolie [31]
<span>We know , E = kQ/r^2 where q = charge and r is separation between point and point charge. Now, At P, E= kQ/r^2 Since, Q can't be changed, we can do that by varying r 2E = 2kq/r^2 2E = kq/ (r/ sqrt2)^2 Hence, if we bring Q closer such that distance between P and Q becomes r/ sqrt 2, E will get doubled.</span>

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:0kgm/s

Explanation:

Momentum before collision=momentum after collision

Since the momentum of the two blocks have positive sign, it means they are moving in thesame direction

Therefore we use the formula

Momentum (A)+momentum (B)=Momentum (A)+momentum (B)

25+35=60+momentum (B)

60=60+momentum (B)

Momentum (B)=60-60

Momentum (B)=0kgm/s

The current through a 0.2-H inductor is i(t) = 10te–5t A. What is the energy stored in the inductor?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

E = 10t^2e^-10t Joules

Explanation:

Given that the current through a 0.2-H inductor is i(t) = 10te–5t A.

The energy E stored in the inductor can be expressed as

E = 1/2Ll^2

Substitutes the inductor L and the current I into the formula

E = 1/2 × 0.2 × ( 10te^-5t )^2

E = 0.1 × 100t^2e^-10t

E = 10t^2e^-10t Joules

Therefore, the energy stored in the inductor is 10t^2e^-10t Joules
