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.

babunello [35]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 555 nm.

Explanation:

according to Bragg's law..

n×λ = d×sin(θ)

n is the fringe number

λ is the wavelength of the light

d is the slit separation

θ is the angle the light makes with the normal at the fringe.

Jeff is a landscaping contractor and lifts a rock weighing 600 pounds by wedging a board under the rock. Jeff weighs 150 pounds

jonny [76]

Answer: 4

The mechanical advantage is the ratio of the force exerted by the object to the force applied to do work on it.

Here, Jeff tried to lift a rock weighing 600 pounds by wedging board under the rock. Jeff who weighs 150 pounds uses all his weight to exert force on lever and lift rock.

Mechanical advantage, $M.A.=\frac{weight\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1 mm}rock}{weight\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1 mm}Jeff}=\frac{600 pounds}{150 pounds}=4.$

Therefore, the mechanical advantage that lever provided to Jeff in lifting rock is 4.

A 0.45kg baseball is pitched towards home plate at 20 m/s. The ball is hit back towards the pitcher with a speed of 30 m/s. What

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

4.5kgm/s

Explanation:

Change in momentum is expressed as

Change in momentum = m(v-u)

M is the mass

V is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

Given

m=0.45kg

v = 30m/s

u = 20m/s

Substitute

Change in momentum = 0.45(30-20)

Change in momentum = 0.45×10

Change in momentum = 4.5kgm/s
