Hydroelectric dams use ------- to produce electricity. gravitational potential energy of falling water

Physics
1 answer:
Eduardwww [97]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

Hydroelectric dams are the power plants which generates electricity by using the energy of falling water from a great height.

A the water is stored in big reservoirs and at a great height, it contain lot of potential energy due to the height. As it falls downwards, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy of the water. this kinetic energy of the falling water is used to run the turbine, and then the electric energy is generated.

So, in hydroelectric power stations, the potential energy of water is converted into the electric energy.

By what factor will the Electrostatic Force between two charged objects change when the amount of charge on both objects doubles
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

F' = (4/9)F

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's Law:

F = kq₁q₂/r²   -------------------- equation (1)

where,

F = Electrostatic Force

k = Coulomb's Constant

q₁ = magnitude of first charge

q₂ = magnitude of second charge

r = distance between charges

Now, when the charges and distance altered as follows:

q₁' = 2q₁

q₂' = 2q₂

r' = 3r

Then,

F' = kq₁'q₂'/r'²

F' = k(2q₁)(2q₂)/(3r)²

F' = (4/9)kq₁q₂/r²

using equation (1):

<u>F' = (4/9)F</u>

Please help. I don’t understand this
skad [1K]

The short answer is that the displacement is equal tothe area under the curve in the velocity-time graph. The region under the curve in the first 4.0 s is a triangle with height 10.0 m/s and length 4.0 s, so its area - and hence the displacement - is

1/2 • (10.0 m/s) • (4.0 s) = 20.00 m

Another way to derive this: since velocity is linear over the first 4.0 s, that means acceleration is constant. Recall that average velocity is defined as

<em>v</em> (ave) = ∆<em>x</em> / ∆<em>t</em>

and under constant acceleration,

<em>v</em> (ave) = (<em>v</em> (final) + <em>v</em> (initial)) / 2

According to the plot, with ∆<em>t</em> = 4.0 s, we have <em>v</em> (initial) = 0 and <em>v</em> (final) = 10.0 m/s, so

∆<em>x</em> / (4.0 s) = (10.0 m/s) / 2

∆<em>x</em> = ((4.0 s) • (10.0 m/s)) / 2

∆<em>x</em> = 20.00 m
