What is the sequence of energy transformations associated with a hydroelectric dam?

Physics

Gravitational potential energy -> Kinetic energy -> Mechanical energy -> Electrical energy.

The water starts up (potential) and flows down (kinetic), the flowing water turns a big wheel (mechanical) which creates electricity (electrical).

Answer:

gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy into mechanical energy into electrical energy

Explanation:

Hydroelectric dam is used to convert gravitational potential energy stored in water to electrical energy. The water is stored at a height. As the water is releases, the gravitational potential energy converts to kinetic energy. The water is allowed to strike the turbine which starts rotating. Thus, kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy. The turbine is connected to generator where mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy.

Thus, the correct sequence of energy transformation is: gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy into mechanical energy into electrical energy

How do you find distance from average velocity and time
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Calculate the total distance travelled by the object - its motion is represented by the velocity-time graph below.

Here, the distance travelled can be found by calculating the total area of the shaded sections below the line.

½ × base × height.

½ × 4 × 8 = 16 m 2

(10 – 4) × 8 = 48 m 2

PHYSICS HELP PLEASE!! MUST SHOW MATH WORK!!

<u>Answer:</u>

1) Distance traveled by bird = 403 meter

2)Average speed = 1.66 km /hour

3) Zcceleration = 2 m/s^2

<u>Explanation:</u>

1)  Distance traveled = Speed * Time taken = 31 * 13 = 403 meter.

2)  Average speed = Total distance covered / Time taken for that distance to cover.

    Total distance covered = 2+0.5+2.5 = 5 km

    Time taken = 3 hours

     Average speed = 5/3 = 1.66 km /hour

3)    Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity, so acceleration a = change in velocity/time.

  Change in velocity = 14 - 6 = 8 m/s

   Time = 4 seconds

   So acceleration = 8 / 4 = 2 m/s^2

What conclusions can you draw about the connection between the Sun’s altitude and the latitude of the observer on seasonal chang
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Altitude of the Sun and the latitude position on the earth play an important role in the season change on the earth.

When the altitude of the sun is high then the average temperature of the earth is higher because the luminous intensity of the sun rays is higher due to the focusing of high energy sun rays over a small area.

But when the sun is at higher altitudes we receive less denser rays of the sun and hence we have less heat on the earth on an average.

  • But despite of the altitude some places on the earth have distinct temperature than the other place at the same time of the year. This is due to their latitudinal location. The places near the equator are warmer most of the times throughout the year because they receive the most direct rays while the poles receive slanting rays and hence are colder even in summer when the earth is at lower altitudes.
