The diagram shows the flow of water through a hydroelectric power station. The falling water
1 answer:
Answer:
KE = m
Explanation:
In the generation of energy from hydroelectric power station, the motion of water, and the turbines are paramount. The falling flowing water turns the blades of the turbine, which in-turn causes the movement of a coil within a strong magnetic field.
The motion of the coil which cuts the strong magnetic field induces current. Thus, the system generates electrical energy.
The equation that links kinetic energy (KE), mass (m) and speed (v) can be expressed as:
KE = m

58.27 N
Explanation:
the data we have is:
mass:
coefficient of friction:
and we also know the acceleration of gravity is
We need to do an analysis of horizontal and vertical forces acting on the object:
-------
Vertically the forces acting on the object:
- Normal force
(acting up from the object)
- weight:
(acting down from)
so the sum of forces in the vertical axis "y" are:
from Newton's second Law we know that , so:
and since the object is not accelerating in the vertical direction (the movement is only horizontal) , and:
-----------
now let's analyze the horizontal forces
- frictional force:
and since
-->
- force to move the object:
and the two forces just mentioned must be opposite, thus the sum of forces in the "x" axis is:
and we are told that the crate moves at a steady speed, thus there is no acceleration:
and we get:
substituting known values:
