Question

The diagram shows the flow of water through a hydroelectric power station. The falling water

Answer 1

Answer:

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ m$v^{2}$

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 = $\frac{1}{2}$ m$v^{2}$
