History

horrorfan [7]3 years ago

Answer:

1) Dam. Raises the water level of the river to create falling water. Also controls the flow of water. The reservoir that is formed is, in effect, stored energy.

2) Turbine. The force of falling water pushing against the turbine's blades causes the turbine to spin. A water turbine is much like a windmill, except the energy is provided by falling water instead of wind. The turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy.

3) Generator. Connected to the turbine by shafts and possibly gears so when the turbine spins it causes the generator to spin also. Converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electric energy. Generators in hydropower plants work just like the generators in other types of power plants.

4) Transmission lines. Conduct electricity from the hydropower plant to homes and business.

Why did the delegates at the Convention decide to write a new governing document?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

The delegates decided to write a new Constitution for a couple of reasons. The convention started because of Shay's Rebellion. The original purpose of the Convention was to revise the Articles of Confederation. Some delegates disagreed saying that revising the Articles of Confederation would not improve the government because it was too weak so they needed to create a new, strong government. The Article of Confederation exposed all the weaknesses of the government and this was caused because of the limited powers and they had no national government. There were two sides that agreed with the new document. The federalist and anti federalists.
