An engineer is building a new water dam. She needs the turbine to spin at least 100,00 j of kinetic energy. If the reservoir hol
Kay [80]

Answer:

The water must flow with the velocity of 141.4m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is energy due to the motion of a body

In this Case the kinetic energy of the turbine is given as

KE=1/2mv²

Where KE= kinetic energy

m= mass of water

v= velocity of the water

Data given

KE=10000j

m=1000g------kg =1000/1000= 1kg

v=?

Substituting our data into the expression we have

10,000=1/2(1*v²)

10,000=v²/2

Solving for v we have

v²=20,000

v=√20,000

v=141.4m/s

With "normal" gravity, we used a potential energy of mgh. Now with the gravity that is more accurate over longer distances we us
Artemon [7]

Answer:

A general solution is \Delta U=mh\frac{GM}{r^{2}}\frac{r}{r+\Delta h} and a particualr case is mgh, it is just to distance around the radius Earth.

Explanation:

We can use a general equation of the potential energy to understand the particular and general case:

The potential energy is defined as U=-\int F\cdot dx, we know that the gravitational force is F=GmM/r^{2}, so we could find the potential energy taking the integral of F.

U=-GmM/r (1)

We can find the particular case, just finding the gravitational potential energy difference:

\Delta U=U_{f}-U_{i}. Here Uf is the potential evaluated in r+Δh and Ui is the potential evaluated in r.

Using (1) we can calculate ΔU.

\Delta U=-\frac{GmM}{r+\Delta h}+\frac{GmM}{r}

Simplifying and combining terms we have a simplified expression.

\Delta U=mh\frac{GM}{r^{2}}\frac{r}{r+\Delta h} (2)

Let's call g=\frac{GM}{r^{2}}. It is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface, if r is the radius of Earth and M is the mass of the Earth and we can write (2) as ΔU=mgh, but if we have distance grader than r we should use (2), otherwise, we could get incorrect values of potential energy.

I hope i hleps you!

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

10000N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the car  = 1000kg

Acceleration = 3m/s²

g  = 10m/s²

Unknown:

Weight of the car  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we must understand that weight is the vertical gravitational force that acts on a body.

 Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

So;

    Weight  = 1000 x 10  = 10000N

Consider the system consisting of the box and the spring, but not Earth. How does the energy of the system when the spring is fu
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.

Explanation:

For this comparison let's use the conservation of energy theorem.

Starting point. Compressed spring

         Em₀ = K_e = ½ k x²

Final point. When the box hits the ground

         Em_f = K = ½ m v²

since friction is zero, energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

          1 / 2k x² = ½ m v²

          v = \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }     x

Therefore, the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.
