Answer:
8100W
Explanation:
Let g = 10m/s2
As water is falling from 60m high, its potential energy from 60m high would convert to power. So the rate of change in potential energy is
or 9000W
Since 10% of this is lost to friction, we take the remaining 90 %
P = 9000*90% = 8100 W
Answer:
141.78 ft
Explanation:
When speed, u = 44mi/h, minimum stopping distance, s = 44 ft = 0.00833 mi.
Calculating the acceleration using one of Newton's equations of motion:
Note: The negative sign denotes deceleration.
When speed, v = 79mi/h, the acceleration is equal to when it is 44mi/h i.e. -116206.48 mi/h^2
Hence, we can find the minimum stopping distance using:
The minimum stopping distance is 141.78 ft.
