Answer:
The generator produces electrical energy at a rate of 1378125000 J per second.
Explanation:
volume of water falling each second is 1250
height through which it falls, h is 150 m
mass of 1 of water is 1000 kg
⇒mass of 1250 of water, m = 1250×1000 = 1250000 kg
acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8
in falling through 150 m in each second, by Work-Energy Theorem:
Kinetic Energy(KE) gained by it = Potential Energy(PE) lost by it
⇒KE = mgh
= 1250000×9.8×150 J
= 1837500000 J
Electrical Energy = (KE)
= ×1837500000
= <u>1378125000 J per second</u>
In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the body when decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest.
