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

Physics
2 answers:
Hatshy [7]3 years ago

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

I know that the PE will be the same for all the objects, but other then that I'm confused on what is correct and what isn't. ​
joja [24]

Answer:

Neither aspects of Dominique are correct.

Explanation:

They will not have the same speed before hitting the ground.

The block C has an initial horizontal velocity v₀ₓ , therefore the total ultimate speed before hitting the ground is  v = √ v₀ₓ² + vy²

It didn't matter how the blocks were dropped, they all landed at the same time. If any block has an initial vertical velocity it will have a higher end velocity. If Dominique means dropped from the rest then the previous claim is true. It is important how they were dropped.

The Dominique must said : The vertical speed will be the same because of conservation of energy.

The fact is,  they all landed at the same time and that is true. And it is important how they are thrown away.

God is with you!!!

What is the thermal energy of an object
9966 [12]
Thermal energy is an example of kinetic energy<span>, as it is due to the motion of particles, with motion being the key. Thermal energy results in an object or a system having a temperature that can be measured. Thermal energy can be transferred from one object or system to another in the form of heat.</span>

Consider a series RLC circuit where R = 855 Ω and C = 6.25 μF. However, the inductance L of the inductor is unknown. To find its
sashaice [31]

Answer:

L= 0.059 mH

Explanation:

Given that

R = 855 Ω and C = 6.25 μF

V= 84 V

Frequency

ω = 51900 1/s

We know that

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{LC}}

L=Inductance

C=Capacitance

ω =angular Frequency

ω² L C =1

(51900)² x L x 6.25 x 10⁻⁶ = 1

L= 5.99 x 10⁻⁵ H

L= 0.059 mH

a tennis ball is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 22.5 m/s how much total time is the ball in the air
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

4.6s

Explanation:

v=u+at

0=22.5+(-9.8)t

-22.5=-9.8t

t=-22.5/-9.8

t=2.295 s

The total time will double

2.295×2=4.59s

=4.6s

The force that must be exerted on the outside wheel to lift the anchor at constant speed is 6.925 x 10⁵ N.

<h3>Force exerted outside the wheel</h3>

The force exerted on the outside of the wheel can be determined by applying the principle of conservation of angular momentum as shown below.

∑τ = 0

  • Let the distance traveled by the load = 1.5 m
  • Let the radius of the wheel or position of the force = 0.45 m

∑τ = R(mg) - r(F)

rF = R(mg)

0.45F = 1.5(21,200 x 9.8)

F = 6.925 x 10⁵ N.

Thus, the force that must be exerted on the outside wheel to lift the anchor at constant speed is 6.925 x 10⁵ N.
