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

Answer:
The same as the escape velocity of asteorid A (50m/s)
Explanation:
The escape velocity is described as follows:
where is the universal gravitational constant,
is the mass of the asteroid and
is the radius
and since the scape velocity is 50m/s:
Now, if the astroid B has twice mass and twice the radius, we have that tha mass is:
and the radius is:
inserting these values into the formula for escape velocity:
and we have found that , so the two asteroids have the same escape velocity.
We found that the expression for escape velocity remains the same as for asteroid A, this because both quantities (radius and mass) doubled, so it does not affect the equation.
The answer is
Asteroid B would have an escape velocity the same as the escape velocity of asteroid A
