A) Describe the energy changes that occur in a waterwheel.

1 answer:

7 0

A) Water is moving from a point of bigger height to a point of a lower height, This changes the kinetic and potential energies of water. Some of the kinetic energy of water is transfered to a waterwheel. This causes water wheel to spin. Spining waterwheel has rotational energy. Also waterwheel is rotating around certain point. This causes friction and there is frictional energy.

B)To light LED we need electric energy. To create electric energy we need a generator. Generator consists of a rotor (a magnet) and a stator (copper wire). If we attach a magnet to waterwheel and a wire somewhere close to waterwheel the electric energy would be induced. This energy can be used to light LED.

A 1 pound bucket rests on a table. What is the support force exerted on the bucket by the table? What is the support force when

katrin2010 [14]

This question involves the concepts of equilibrium and Newton's third law of motion.

The support force will be "1 pound" for the empty bucket and the support force will be "6 pounds" after pouring water into it.

According to the condition of equilibrium, the sum of forces acting on a stationary object must be zero. Hence, the support force of the table will be equal to the total mass of the bucket.
According to Newton's Third Law of Motion every action force has an equal but opposite reaction force. Hence, the support force will be a reaction force to the weight of the bucket.

Therefore, the support force in each case will be equal to the total mass of the bucket:

Case 1 (empty bucket):

support force = 1 pound

Case 1 (water poured):

support force = 1 pound + 5 pound

support force = 6 pound

consider the photoelectric effect experiment. in one experiment yellow light shines on a piece of potassium metal. a current is

kompoz [17]

Explanation:

If the intensity of the yellow light increased, meaning more photons will strike the Potassium metal per unit area. This will cause more ejection of electrons from the metal and hence, the strength of current will also increase as we know that

I = Q/t, as the charge increase , the current will also increase.

How would you describe brass since it ia used in weapons, pipes, intruments and ect? A compound, Alloy, Element l, Or molecule?

Alik [6]

Brass is an alloy. An alloy is a mixture of elements to form a unique material. Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc and the percentage of each element depends on the desired material. It has a higher malleability than bronze or zinc. Meaning that it can be bend easily into it desired form.
