Yes. Displacement is a vector, as opposed to distance, which is a scalar. Since displacement is a vector quantity, the negative sign represents direction. As with velocity and acceleration, it just comes down to how you define your coordinate system
Answer: a) 5 x 10^5 kg/s b) 444 MW
Explanation:
Kinetic energy per unit mass Ke is
Ke = V^2 / 2
Ke = 3^2 / 2 = 4.5 J/kg = 0.0045 kJ/kg
Now potential energy per unit mass Pe is
Pe = g x z = 9.8 x 90 = 882.9 J/kg = 0.8829 kJ/kg
The total mechanical energy of the River per unit mass e = Ke + Pe = 0.0045 + 0.8829 = 0.88744 J/kg
M = P x V = 1000 x 500 = 5 x 10^5 kg/s
b) power generation potential of the entire river at the location Wmax = Emech = M x Emech = 500,000 x 0.88744 = 444,000kW = 444MW
