Answer:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

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 = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

PLEASE HELP ME!
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

a) A = 3 cm,  b)  T = 0.4 s,   f = 2.5 Hz,

2) A standing wave the displacement of the wave is canceled and only one oscillation remains

Explanation:

a) in an oscillatory movement the amplitude is the highest value of the signal in this case

          A = 3 cm

b) the period of oscillation is the time it takes for the wave to repeat itself in this case

          T = 0.4 s

the period is the inverse of the frequency

         f = 1 /T

         f = 1 /, 0.4

         f = 2.5 Hz

2) a traveling wave is a wave for which as time increases the displacement increases, in the case of a transverse wave the oscillation is perpendicular to the displacement and in the case of a longitudinal wave the oscillation is in the same direction of the displacement.

A standing wave occurs when a traveling wave bounces off some object and there are two waves, one that travels in one direction and the other that travels in the opposite direction. In this case, the displacement of the wave is canceled and only one oscillation remains.

Two ice skaters, Paula and Ricardo, initially at rest, push off from each other. Ricardo weighs more than Paula.
sveta [45]

Answer:

the two ice skater have the same momentum but the are in different directions.

Paula will have a greater speed than Ricardo after the push-off.

Explanation:

Given that:

Two ice skaters, Paula and Ricardo, initially at rest, push off from each other. Ricardo weighs more than Paula.

A. Which skater, if either, has the greater momentum after the push-off? Explain.

The law of conservation of can be applied here in order to determine the skater that possess a greater momentum after the push -off

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of two  or more objects acting upon one another will not change, provided there are no external forces acting on them.

So if two objects in motion collide, their total momentum before the collision will be the same as the total momentum after the collision.

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

SO, from the information given:

Let represent the mass of Paula with m_{Pa} and its initial velocity with u_{Pa}

Let represent the mass of Ricardo with m_{Ri} and its initial velocity with u_{Ri}

At rest ;

their velocities will be zero, i.e

u_{Pa} = u_{Ri} = 0

The initial momentum for this process can be represented as :

m_{Pa}u_{Pa} +  m_{Ri}u_{Ri} = 0

after push off from each other then their final velocity will be v_{Pa} and v_{Ri}

The we can say their final momentum is:

m_{Pa}v_{Pa} +   m_{Ri}v_{Ri} = 0

Using the law of conservation of momentum as states earlier.

Initial momentum = final momentum = 0

m_{Pa}u_{Pa} +  m_{Ri}u_{Ri} =  m_{Pa}v_{Pa} +   m_{Ri}v_{Ri}

Since the initial velocities are stating at rest then ; u = 0

m_{Pa}(0) + m_{Pa}(0) = m_{Pa}v_{Pa} +   m_{Ri}v_{Ri}

m_{Pa}v_{Pa} +   m_{Ri}v_{Ri}  = 0

m_{Pa}v_{Pa} = - m_{Ri}v_{Ri}

Hence, we can conclude that the two ice skater have the same momentum but the are in different directions.

 B. Which skater, if either, has the greater speed after the push-off? Explain.

Given that Ricardo weighs more than Paula

So m_{Ri} > m_{Pa} ;

Then \mathsf{\dfrac{{m_{Ri}}}{m_{Pa} }= 1}

The magnitude of their momentum which is a product of mass and velocity can now be expressed as:

m_{Pa}v_{Pa} =  m_{Ri}v_{Ri}

The ratio is

\dfrac{v_{Pa}}{v_{Ri}} =\dfrac{m_{Ri}}{m_{Pa}} = 1

v_{Pa} >v_{Ri}

Therefore, Paula will have a greater speed than Ricardo after the push-off.
