What is Hydroelectric energy used for? Use in your own words.

1 answer:

4 0

Hydroelectric energy, also called hydroelectric power or hydroelectricity, is a form of energy that harnesses the power of water in motion—such as water flowing over a waterfall—to generate electricity. People have used this force for millennia. Over two thousand years ago, people in Greece used flowing water to turn the wheel of their mill to ground wheat into flour.

To suck lemonade of density 1040 kg/m3 up a straw to a maximum height of 4.94 cm, what minimum gauge pressure (in atmospheres) m

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The minimum gauge pressure is 0.4969 atm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Density = 1040 kg/m³

Height = 4.94 cm

We need to calculate the pressure

Using formula of pressure

$P_{g}=\rho g h$

Where, $\rho$ =density

h = height

Put the value into the formula

$P_{g}=1040\times9.8\times4.94$

$P_{g}=50348.48\ Pa$

Pressure in atmospheres

$1\ atm =101.3\ kPa$

$P_{g}=\dfrac{50348.48}{101325}$

$P_{g}=0.4969\ atm$

Hence, The minimum gauge pressure is 0.4969 atm.

Thermodynamic Processes: An ideal gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of its initial volume. The resulting pressure will

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Explanation:

The equation of state for ideal gases is described below:

$P\cdot V = n \cdot R_{u}\cdot T$ (1)

Where:

$P$ - Pressure.

$V$ - Volume.

$n$ - Molar quantity, in moles.

$R_{u}$ - Ideal gas constant.

$T$ - Temperature.

Given that ideal gas is compressed isothermally, this is, temperature remains constant, pressure is increased and volume is decreased, then we can simplify (1) into the following relationship:

$P_{1}\cdot V_{1} = P_{2}\cdot V_{2}$ (2)

If we know that $\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{1}{3}$ , then the resulting pressure of the system is:

$P_{2} = P_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right)$

$P_{2} = 3\cdot P_{1}$

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Figure 10.20 in your textbook shows an energy diagram for a system with total energy E1. Suppose the system's total energy is E2

wolverine [178]

The particles can undergo small oscillations around x₂.

The given parameters;

<em>initial energy of the particles = E₁</em>
<em>final energy of the particles, E₂ = 0.33E₁</em>

The movement of the particles depends on the kinetic energy of the particles.

When kinetic energy of the particles is 100%, the particles can oscillate from x₁ to x₅.

However, when the total energy of this particles is reduced to one-third (¹/₃) or 33% of the initial energy of the particle, the oscillation of the particles will be reduced.

The maximum position the particle can oscillate is x₅

The half position the particles can oscillate is x₃

Since 33% is less than the half of the energy of the particle, the particle will oscillate between x₁ and x₂.

Thus, we can conclude that the particles can undergo small oscillations around x₂.
