Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an average speed of 3 m/s at a rate of 550 m3/s at a location 58 m above the lake surf

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

1. 0.574 kJ/kg

2. 315.7 MW

Explanation:

1. The mechanical energy per unit mass of the river is given by:

$E_{m} = E_{k} + E_{p}$

$E_{m} = \frac{1}{2}v^{2} + gh$

Where:

Ek is the kinetic energy

Ep is the potential energy

v is the speed of the river = 3 m/s

g is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h is the height = 58 m

$E_{m} = \frac{1}{2}(3 m/s)^{2} + 9.81 m/s^{2}*58 m = 0.574 kJ/Kg$

Hence, the total mechanical energy of the river is 0.574 kJ/kg.

2. The power generation potential on the river is:

$P = m(t)E_{m} = \rho*V(t)*E_{m} = 1000 kg/m^{3}*550 m^{3}/s*0.574 kJ/kg = 315.7 MW$

Therefore, the power generation potential of the entire river is 315.7 MW.

I hope it helps you!

A student throws a small rock straight upwards. The rock rises to its highest point and then falls back down. How does the speed

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

we assume that it starts with a velocity of 10m/s. At 2m height above ground level, its velocity decreases at 3m above ground level

for its way down the velocity at 3m on its way down is more than its velocity at 2m on its way down.

Explanation:

A student throws a small rock straight upwards. The rock rises to its highest point and then falls back down. How does the speed of the rock at 2m on the way down compare with its speed at 2m on the way up?

It decreases in speed on its way down and increases in speed on its way down.

it decreases in speed on its way up because the the vertical motion is against the earths gravitational pull on an object to the earth's center

.It increases in speed on his way down because its under the influence of gravity

from newton's equation of motion we can check by

using V^2=u^2+2as

we assume that it starts with a velocity of 10m/s. At 2m height above ground level, its velocity decreases at 3m above ground level

for its way down the velocity at 3m on its way down is more than its velocity at 2m on its way down.

A person weighing 785 newtons on the surface of Earth would weigh 298 newtons on the surface of Mars.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

The gravitational field strength on the surface of Mars = 3.72 m/s²

Explanation:

Gravitational Field Strength: This can be defined as the force per unit mass which is exerted at that point. its direction is the force exerted on a mass in a gravitational field. The S.I unit of gravitational field strength is m/s²

Mathematically, Gravitational field is represented as,

g = F/m ..................... Equation 1.

m = F/g ..................... Equation 2.

Where g = gravitational Field Strength, F = force on the mass, m = mass of the body.

From the question,

Note: That The mass of the object is constant both on the surface of the earth and on the surface of Mars.

On the Surface of the earth,

Given: F = 785 N, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting this values into equation 2,

m = 785/9.8

m = 80.10 kg.

On the surface of Mars.

Given: m = 80.10 kg, F = 298.

Substituting into equation 2

g = 298/80.1

g = 3.72 m/s²

Thus the gravitational field strength on the surface of Mars = 3.72 m/s²

The accepted value for the density of iron is 7.87 g/cm3. a student records the mass of a 20.00 cm3 block of iron as 153.8 grams

dangina [55]

The density of an object can be calculated using the formula Density = Mass/Volume.

Experimental Density:

Density = 153.8g / 20.00 cm^3
Density = 7.69g/cm^3

Percent error equation:

% Error = | Theoretical Value - Experimental Value|/Theoretical Value * 100
% Error = | 7.87g/cm^3 - 7.69g/cm^3|/7.87g/cm^3 * 100
% Error = 2.29%

Therefore a is the correct answer.
