A reservoir located in the mountain 250 m above sea level flows through a pipe to a hydroelectric plant in a town at sea level.

Assuming the pressure in both locations are the same and the density of water is 1000 kg/m3. How fast will the water flow into the plant?

Answer:

     v₂ = 70 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Bernoulli's equation

where subscript 1 is for the top of the mountain and subscript 2 is for Tuesday's level

 

          P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ +1/2 ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

indicate that the pressure in the two points is the same, y₁ = 250 m, y₂ = 0 m, the water in the upper part, because it is a reservoir, is very large for which the velocity is very small, we will approximate it to 0 (v₁ = 0), we substitute

         ρ g y₁ = ½ ρ v₂²

         v₂ = \sqrt {2g \ y_1}

let's calculate

         v₂ = √( 2 9.8 250)

         v₂ = 70 m / s

A horizontal force of 200 n is applied to move a 55-kg cart (initially at rest) across a 10-m level surface. what is the final k
Vesnalui [34]
<span>Kinetic energy is the energy that is possessed by an object that is moving. It is calculated by one-half the product of the mass and the square of the velocity of the object. We need to determine the velocity of the cart that is moving. 
</span>
First, we use Newton's Second Law of motion;
<span>Force = ma 
200 = 55a 
a = 3.64 m/s^2 

Then, from the kinematic equation we calculate the velocity;
v^2 = v0^2 + 2ax

where v is the final velocity, v0 is the initial veocity (zero since it initially start at zero), a is the acceleration ( 3.64 m/s^2) and x is the distance traveled.

v^2 = 0^2 + 2 (3.64) (10) 
v^2 = 72.73 m^2 / s^2
v = 8.53 m / s 

KE = mv^2 / 2
KE = 1/2 (55) (8.53^2) 
KE= 2000 J</span>

The power generated by the engine was just 2.984 KW. How long would this engine have to run to produce 3.60 × 104 J of work?
tangare [24]

Answer:

Time = 12.06 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 2.984 KW = 2984 Watts

Workdone = 3.60 × 10^4 J = 36000 J

To find the time;

Power = workdone/time

Time = workdone/power

Time = 36000/2984

Time = 12.06 seconds

Therefore, the engine would have to run for 12.06 seconds.

The weightlifter's internal store of energy decreased when he lifted the bar.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The energy returns to the weightlifter's muscles, where it is dissipated as heat.

Explanation:

The energy returns to the weightlifter's muscles, where it is dissipated as heat. As long as the weightlifter controls the weight's descent, their muscles are acting as an overdamped shock absorber, as if the weight were sitting on a piston containing very thick fluid, slowly compressing it downward (and slightly heating up the fluid in the process). Since muscles are complicated biological systems and not simple pistons, they require metabolic energy to maintain tension throughout the controlled descent, so the weightlifter feels like they're putting energy into the weight, even though the weight's gravitational potential energy is being converted into heat within the lifter's muscles.
