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.

15.2 s

Explanation:

Convert hp to W:

55.0 hp × 746 W/hp = 41,030 W

Power = energy / time

41030 W = 6.22×10⁵ J / t

t = 15.2 s

Suppose astronomers find an earthlike planet that is twice the size of Earth (that is, its radius is twice the radius of Earth).
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

4 times the mass of Earth

Explanation:

M_1 = Mass of Earth

M_2 = Mass of the other planet

r = Radius of Earth

2r = Radius of the other planet

m = Mass of object

The force of gravity on an object on Earth is

F=\frac{GM_1m}{r^2}

The force of gravity on an object on the other planet is

F=\frac{GM_2m}{(2r)^2}

As the forces are equal

\frac{GM_1m}{r^2}=\frac{GM_2m}{(2r)^2}\\\Rightarrow M_1=\frac{M_2}{4}\\\Rightarrow M_2=4M_1

So, the other planet would have 4 times the mass of Earth
