Answer: Energy dissipation

Explanation: As water passes over a spillway and down the chute, potential energy converts into increasing kinetic energy. Failure to dissipate the water's energy can lead to scouring and erosion at the dam's toe (base). Hope this helps. Can u give me brainiliest

A block with mass m1m1m_1 is placed on an inclined plane with slope angle ααalpha and is connected to a second hanging block tha
vredina [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

m₂ is hanging vertically and m₁ is placed on inclined plane . Both are in limiting equilibrium so on m₁ , limiting friction will act in upward direction as it will tend to slip in downward direct . Tension in cord connecting the masses be T .

For equilibrium of m₁

m₁ g sinα= T + f where f is force of friction

m₁ g sinα= T + μsx m₁ g cosα

m₁ g sinα -  μs x m₁ g cosα = T

For equilibrium of m₂

T = m₂g

Putting this value in equation above

m₁ g sinα -  μs x m₁ g cosα = m₂g

m₂ = m₁ sinα -  μs x m₁ cosα

008 (part 1 of 3) 10.0 points A 3.2 kg object is subjected to two forces, F~ 1 = (1.9 N) ˆı + (−1.9 N) ˆ and F~ 2 = (3.8 N) ˆı
musickatia [10]

Answer:

a' =4.15 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

m= 3.2 kg

F₁ = 1.9  i −1.9 j N

F₂=3.8 i −10.1 j N

From second law of Newton's

F(net) = m a

F₁ + F₂ = m x a

1.9  i −1.9 j + 3.8 i −10.1 j  = 3.2 a

a = 1.78 i - 3.75 j m/s²

The resultant  acceleration  a'

a'=\sqrt{1.78^2+3.75^2}\ m/s^2

a' =4.15 m/s²

The lightest and heaviest flying birds are the bee hummingbird of Cuba, which weighs about 1.6 grams, and the great bustard of E
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

for the birds to be able to stay vertical in flight without falling down to earth, they must produce a lift that will counteract their weight

for the small bee humming bird,

mass = 1.6 g = 1.6 x 10^{-3}  kg

weight of the bird under acceleration due to gravity = mg

where g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

weight of the bird = 1.6 x 10^{-3}  x 9.806 = 0.0156 ≅ 0.016 N

for this bird to maintain flight, the least lift upward, it must generate must be equal to its weight downwards, i.e

lift = weight

therefore,

lift = <em>0.016 N</em>

<em></em>

For the bustard of Europe and Asia,

mass = 21 kg

weight of the bird under acceleration due to gravity = mg

weight of the bird = 21 x 9.806 = 205.9 N

lift = weight =  <em>205.9 N</em>

<em></em>

<em>lift generated is proportional to the wing surface area according to the lift equation</em>

L = Cs x p x \frac{v}{2} x S

where L = lift

C = lift coefficient

p = density of air

v = relative velocity of bird and air

S = surface are of the wing.

<em>The great bustard will have a proportionally larger wing area to hold its weight in flight</em>
