Answer:
137200000 watts or 137200 kilowatts
Explanation:
The formula for power is P= dhrg
Where P = Power in watts
d = density of water (1000 kg/m^3)
h = height in meters
r = flow rate in cubic meters per second,
g = acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s^2,
Plugging in the known values,
we get
P = 1000 kg/m^3 * 80 m * 175 m^3/s * 9.8 m/s^2
P = 80000 kg/m^2 * 175 m^3/s * 9.8 m/s^2
P = 14000000 kg m/s * 9.8 m/s^2
P = 137200000 kg m^2/s^3
P = 137200000 watts or 137200 kilowatts
The above figure assumes 100% efficiency which is impossible. A good efficiency would be 90% so the actual power available would be close to 0.90 * 137200 = 123480 kilowatts
1) 3 miles/Hour
The speed is defined as the distance covered divided by the time taken:
where
d = 1.5 mi is the distance
t = 0.5 h is the time taken
Substituting,
2) 1.34 m/s south
Velocity, instead, is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. We have:
is the displacement in meters
is the time taken in seconds
Substituting,
And the direction of the velocity is the same as the displacement, so it is south.
