In many areas electricity is produced by huge generators close to dames. What function does a large volume of moving water have

in generating electricity?
Physics
1 answer:
Debora [2.8K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

To increase the volume of moving water, impoundments or dams are used to collect the water. An opening in the dam uses gravity to drop water down a pipe called a penstock. The moving water causes the turbine to spin, which causes magnets inside a generator to rotate and create electricity.

A ball is thrown upward from a height of 432 feet above the​ ground, with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. From physic
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer;

A)S(t)=96t-16t² +432

B)it will take 9 seconds for the ball to reach the ground.

C)864feet

Explanation:

We were given an initial height of 432 feet.

And v(t)= 96-32t

A) we are to Find​ s(t), the function giving the height of the ball at time t

The position, or heigth, is the integrative of the velocity. So

S(t)= ∫(96-32)dt

S(t)=96t-16t² +K

S(t)=96t-16t² +432

In which the constant of integration K is the initial height, so K= 432

b) we need to know how long will the ball take to reach the​ ground

This is t when S(t)= 0

S(t)=96t-16t² +432

-16t² +96t +432=0

This is quadratic equation, if you solve using factorization method we have

t= -3 or t= 9

Therefore, , t is the instant of time and it must be a positive value.

So it will take 9 seconds for the ball to reach the ground.

C)V=s/t

Velocity= distance/ time

=96=s/9sec

S=96×9

=864feet

A wheel rotates 3 times. What is its angular displacement?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The angular displacement would be 6 Pi radians or 1080 degrees.

Explanation:

Every individual rotation is 2 Pi (this applies to anything regardless of radius).

Since there are three rotations you are going to multiply 2 Pi by 3.

This will give you 6 Pi which you can convert to equal 1080 degrees (1 Pi = 180 degrees).

A lamp is 10% efficient.How much electrical energy must be supplied to the lamp each second if it produces 20 J of light energy
k0ka [10]

If it produces 20J of light energy in a second, then that 20J is the 10% of the supply that becomes useful output.

20 J/s = 10% of Supply

20 J/s = (0.1) x (Supply)

Divide each side by 0.1:

Supply = (20 J/s) / (0.1)

<em>Supply = 200 J/s  </em>(200 watts)

========================

Here's something to think about:  What could you do to make the lamp more efficient ?  Answer:  Use it for a heater !

If you use it for a heater, then the HEAT is the 'useful' part, and the light is the part that you really don't care about.  Suddenly ... bada-boom ... the lamp is 90% efficient !

A paint brush is dropped from the top of a tall ladder and free falls to the ground. What changes, if any, would be observed of
muminat

Answer:

Explanation:

As the paint brush is dropped from the top of a tall ladder it started free falling

i.e. velocity of brush increases as it falls down due to the acceleration provided by gravity.

We know acceleration due to gravity is the attraction experienced by the object due to earth attraction

Value of acceleration due to gravity is constant i.e. 9.8\ m/s^2

Therefore the correct choice is

velocity is increasing and acceleration is constant
