Answer:

a) letting in-flowing and/or out-flowing tide flow through turbines in a dam.

Explanation:

Tidal power makes use of the energy from the tidal force and wave action in order to generate electricity. it is a predictable source of energy.

Tidal Barrages

The system allows tides to enter, seawater flows via the dam and is trapped into the basin when the tides subside and system’s gates close.

When the tides start to move out, the gates in the dam are opened up this consist of turbines and water begins to flow out, hitting the turbines this eventually turn to produce energy.

Power is produced when the tidal range, which is the difference between low and high tide, has to be more than 5 meters.

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Power = 377.35 W or Power = 0.5065 hp

Explanation:

Given:

Number of steps, n = 1576

height of each step, h = 0.20 m

Total height achieved, H = nh = 1576 × 0.20 = 315.2 m

Mass of the runner, M = 70.0 kg

Total time taken, t = 9 minutes 33 seconds = (9 × 60) + 33 = 573 seconds

Now, the potential energy gained by the runner,

E = MgH

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity

on substituting the values in the above formula, we get

E = 70 × 9.8 × 315.2

or

E = 216227.2 J

also,

Energy = Power × time

therefore,

Power = Energy/time

or

Power = 216227.2 J / 573

or

Power = 377.35 W

Now,

745 watt = 1 hp

or

1 watt = 1/745 hp

thus,

Power = 377.35 W = 337.35 × (1/745) hp

or

Power = 0.5065 hp

At 96° F the saturation density of air is 0.04 kg/m3. If the weather report says the relative humidity is 90 % when the tempera
nalin [4]

Answer:

The value is  H  =  0.036 \ kg/m^3

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The saturation density of air is \rho =  0.04 \ kg/m^3

   The temperature for this saturation density to occur  T_s  =  96^o F

    The relative humidity at this temperature is  R_h  =  90\%  =  0.90

Generally the relative humidity is mathematically represented as

      R_H  = \frac{H}{\rho}

Here H represents humidity

=> 0.90 =  \frac{H}{0.04}

=>  H  =  0.90 * 0.04

=>  H  =  0.036 \ kg/m^3

A battery is the power source for what type of current
patriot [66]

Answer: DC Current

Explanation:

Battery is a source of constant potential difference and it will create a constant voltage across any conductor

due to this constant voltage difference the current in this conductor will remain constant

So here since the voltage across the conductor is constant so we can say that current in the conductor will remain constant and hence this is known as DC current.

While for variable current in direction and magnitude is to be obtained only when the conductor is connected with AC voltage source as we know that AC voltage is variable with magnitude and direction both

A battery is the power source for DC type of current.  A battery is a source of constant potential difference that produces a constant current unlike in AC source where the voltage and hence the current changes its polarity continuously.Hence, the current produced by battery is direct current and not Alternating current.

Hope this helps........ Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!! :D
