A river flowing steadily at a rate of 175 m3/s is considered for hydroelectric power generation. It is determined that a dam can

be built to collect water and release it from an elevation difference of 80 m to generate power. Determine how much power can be generated from this river water after the dam is filled.

Answer:

137200000 watts or 137200 kilowatts

Explanation:

The formula for power is P= dhrg

Where P = Power in watts

d = density of water (1000 kg/m^3)

h = height in meters

r = flow rate in cubic meters per second,

g = acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s^2,

Plugging in the known values,

we get

P = 1000 kg/m^3 * 80 m * 175 m^3/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 80000 kg/m^2 * 175 m^3/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 14000000 kg m/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 137200000 kg m^2/s^3

P = 137200000 watts or 137200 kilowatts

The above figure assumes 100% efficiency which is impossible. A good efficiency would be 90% so the actual power available would be close to 0.90 * 137200 = 123480 kilowatts

How far can a person run in 13.22 minutes if he or she runs at an average speed of 12.33 km/hr?
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

2.72 km

Explanation:

(12.33 km)/ 1 hr * (1 hr)/ 60 min

0.2055 km/ min

distance=rate * time (assuming v is constant,

a=0)

(0.2055 km/ min)*(13.22 min)

2.72 km OR 2716.71 m
