Water flows over Niagara Falls at the average rate of 2,400,000 kg/s, and the average height of the falls is about 50 m. Knowing

that the gravitational potential energy of falling water per second = mass (kg) × height (m) × gravity (9.8 m/s2), what is the power of Niagara Falls? How many 15 W LED light bulbs could it power?

Answer:

Power, P=1.176\times 10^9\ W

No of bulbs = 78400000

Explanation:

We have,

Water flows over Niagara Falls at the average rate of 2,400,000 kg/s, it mean it is mass per unit time i.e. m/t.

It falls from a height of 50 m

The gravitational potential energy of falling water is given by :

P = mgh

Power is equal to the work done divided by time taken. So,

P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{mgh}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{m}{t}\times gh

So,

P=2400000\times 9.8\times 50\\\\P=1.176\times 10^9\ W

Let there are n bulbs that could power 15 W LED. It can be calculated by dividing the power by 15. So,

n=\dfrac{1.176\times 10^9}{15}\\\\n=78400000\ \text{bulbs}

It means that the number of bulbs are 78400000.

Pick the correct statement for the following isotope: a. 42Ca 42 is the mass number and 20 is the atomic number. b. 42 is the nu
kramer

Answer:

A

Explanation:

To label an element correctly using a combination of the symbol, mass number and atomic number furnishes some important information about the element.

We can obtain these information from the element provided that correct labeling of the element is presented. Firstly, after writing the symbol of the element, the atomic number is placed as a subscript on the left while the mass number of the atomic mass is placed as a superscript on the same left.

Looking at the question asked, we have the element symbol in the correct position as Ca, with 42 also in the correct position which is the mass number. The third number which is 20 is thus the atomic number of the element.

Tony tuns on a fan on when his room becomes uncomfortably hot. The fan is an example of?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

C-Electrical energy changed into mechanical energy

Explanation:

Energy, according to the law of conservation of energy, is said to neither be created or lost but only interchangeable from one form to another. Energy exists in different forms. The process by which one form of energy changes to another is called TRANSFORMATION of energy.

However, certain household appliances or devices bring about this transformation of energy. For example, in a case where Tony turns a fan on when his room becomes uncomfortably hot. The fan uses an electric source to get powered on, which then facilitates the blades of the fan to move fast in order to bring about a cool atmosphere.

The fan converts ELECTRICAL energy (electric source) into MECHANICAL energy (moving energy).

A helium balloon has a volume of 2.00L at 101kpa. As the balloon rises the pressure drops to 97.0kPa. What is the new volume?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

2.08L

Explanation:

V1 = 2.00L

P1 = 101kPa

P2 = 97.0kPa

V2 = ?

from Boyle's law,

P1V1 = P2V2

101 × 2 = 97 × V2

V2 = 202/97 = 2.08L

Therefore, the new volume is 2.08L
