Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The plant in which the electricity is produced by use of water is called hydroelectric power station.

Water is stored in huge dams and then allow to fall from a great height. The potential energy of stored water is converted into kinetic energy of the flowing water. Then this kinetic energy rotates the turbines and converted into mechanical energy and then finally the coil of generator rotates and electric energy is produced.

Hold a pencil in front of your eye at a position where its blunt end just blocks out the Moon.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

$D = 3.55 \times 10^6 m$

Explanation:

Light rays coming from moon is blocked by the pencil

so as per figure we know that angle subtended by pencil and angle subtended by moon must be same

so we have

$Angle = \frac{Arc}{Radius}$

so we have

$\frac{D}{3.8 \times 10^8 m} = \frac{0.7 cm}{75 cm}$

so we have

$D = 3.55 \times 10^6 m$

A bullet of mass m=26g is fired into a wooden block of mass M=4.7kg. The block is attached to a string of length 1.5m. The bulle

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

u = 449 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the bullet, m = 26 g

Mass of the wooden block,M = 4.7 Kg

height of the block,h = 0.31 m

initial speed of the block, u = ?

Using conservation of energy

$(M+ m)gh = \dfrac{1}{2}(M+m)v^2$

$gh = \dfrac{1}{2}v^2$

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 0.31}$

v = 2.47 m/s

Now, using conservation of momentum to calculate the speed of the bullet.

m u + M u' = (M+m)v

m u = (M+m)v

0.026 x u = (4.7+0.026) x 2.47

u = 449 m/s

Hence, the speed of the bullet is equal to 449 m/s.

What form of matter is vapor?

katrin [286]

The form of matter that is vapor is a gas made of a substance that is usually liquid.
Vapor is created when water, or some other liquid evaporates - meaning that it becomes so hot in a room, or wherever, that the liquid starts becoming gas.
