Water behind a dam has a certain amount of stored energy that can be released as the water falls over the top of the dam. It may

be enough energy to turn a mill wheel or an electricity-generating turbine. Choose the term that best describes the type of energy stored in the water at the top of the dam.

Answer:

The answer is potential energy

Explanation:

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of it position

For example the water at the top of the dam is being held at a height h above the bottom of the dam

Then the potential energy

PE= weight of the water* the height

PE= m*g*h

Which of the following is not an application of Doppler technology?
Jlenok [28]
The correct answer to the question above is the third option; ultrasound imaging of the liver. The ultrasound imaging of the liver is definitely not an application of Doppler technology. If the Doppler technology is being used in medical field, it would be for the ultrasound of the heart and blood vessels for examination.

In an experiment you measure a first-order red line for Hydrogen at an angle difference of ΔΘ = 22.78o. The diffraction grating
azamat

Answer:

a) wavelength = 656.3 nm

b)  the value of Rydberg's constant for this measurement is 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

Explanation:

Given that;

angle of diffraction Θₓ = 22.78°

incident angle Θ₁ = 0

slit separation d  = 5900 lines per cm = 1/5900 cm = 10⁻²/5900 m = 0.01/5900 m

order of diffraction n = 1

wavelength λ = ?

to find the wavelength, we use the expression

λ = d (sinΘ₁ + sinΘₓ) / n

To find the wavelength λ;

λ = 0.01/5900 × (sin0 + sin22.78° )

λ = 6.5626 × 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 656.3 x 10⁻⁹ m

∴ λ = 656.3 nm

b)

According Balnur's  series spectral lines; n₁ = 3, n₂ = 2 and

λ = R [ 1/n₂² - 1/n₁²]

where  R is Rydberg's constant

from λ = R [ 1/n₂² - 1/n₁²]

R = 1/λ [n₂²n₁² / n₁² - n₂²]

R = 10⁹/ 656.3 [ 9 × 4 / 9 - 4 ]

R = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

Therefore the value of Rydberg's constant for this measurement is 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

Find the orbital period (in years) of an asteroid whose average distance from the sun is 27
dmitriy555 [2]
Using Kepler's third law which is defined as the square of the average distance is directly proportional to the cube of the period. It is expressed as P^2 = a^3, Given that the a = average distance is given, the period would be much easier to compute. P = sqrt(27^3) = 140
