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.

Can you help me??????????????????????????)?

Answer:

Velocity is a change in displacement over change in time and uses the units m/s.

Both are rates of change and can be positive or negative.

Acceleration is a change in velocity over change in time and uses the units m/s².

Explanation:

Velocity is the change in displacement over change in time, this makes it a rate of change. It can be positive or negative because it is a vector quantity. It uses the units m/s because that is a displacement unit over a time unit.

Acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time, this makes it a rate of change. It can be positive or negative because it is also a vector quantity. It uses the units m/s² (m/s/s) because that is a velocity unit over a time unit.

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Kf > Ka = Kb > Kc > Kd > Ke

Explanation:

We can apply

E₀ = E₁

where

E₀: Mechanical energy at the beginning of the motion (top of the incline)

E₁: Mechanical energy at the end (bottom of the incline)

then

K₀ + U₀ = K₁ + U₁

If v₀ = 0  ⇒  K₀

and  h₁ = 0   ⇒    U₁ = 0

we get

U₀ = K₁    

U₀ = m*g*h₀ = K₁

we apply the same equation in each case

a) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 70 Kg*9.81 m/s²*8m = 5493.60 J

b) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 70 Kg*9.81 m/s²*8m = 5493.60 J

c) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 35 Kg*9.81 m/s²*4m = 1373.40 J

d) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 7 Kg*9.81 m/s²*16m = 1098.72 J

e) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 7 Kg*9.81 m/s²*4m = 274.68 J

f) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 105 Kg*9.81 m/s²*6m = 6180.30 J

finally, we can say that

Kf > Ka = Kb > Kc > Kd > Ke

A 1,000 kg car is travelling at 6.5 m/s to the North. A 3,500 kg truck is travelling South at the same velocity. What is the tot
Molodets [167]

Answer:

16250 kgm/s due south

Explanation:

Applying,

M = mv................. Equation 1

Where M = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity.

From the car,

Given: m = 1000 kg, v = 6.5 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

M = 1000(6.5)

M = 6500 kgm/s

For the truck,

Given: m = 3500 kg, v = 6.5 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

M' = 3500(6.5)

M' = 22750 kgm/s.

Assuming South to be negative direction,

From the question,

Total momentum of the two vehicles = (6500-22750)

Total momentum of the two vehicles = -16250 kgm/s

Hence the total momentum of the two vehicles is 16250 kgm/s due south

A force of 100 newtons is used to move an object a distance of 15 meters with a power of 25 watts. Find the
valentina_108 [34]


work is distance * force so 15*100=1500

and to find time you know power = diastance * force / time

so 25=15*100/t

25=1500/t

25/1500=t

.016=time
