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.

Why is it difficult to walk on muddy road?
Gnesinka [82]
Because of internal friction between layers of mud particles called viscosity. When you walk, your foot exerts a force on the mud; and according to Newton, the mud also (is supposed to) exert an equal opposite force, which leading to an equal net resultant force in your direction, propelling you forward.

An infinitely long cylindrical insulating shell of inner radius a and outer radius b has a uniform volume charge density p. Dete
xenn [34]

Answer: The electric field is: a) r<a , E0=; b) a<r<b E=ρ (r-a)/εo;

c) r>b E=ρ b (b-a)/r*εo

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the Gaussian law in diffrengios regions.

As we know,

∫E.dr= Qinside/εo

For r<a --->Qinside=0 then E=0

for a<r<b er have

E*2π*r*L= Q inside/εo       in this case Qinside= ρ.Vol=ρ*2*π*r*(r-a)*L

E*2π*r*L =ρ*2*π*r* (r-a)*L/εo

E=ρ*(r-a)/εo

Finally for r>b

E*2π*r*L =ρ*2*π*b* (b-a)*L/εo

E=ρ*b* (b-a)*/r*εo

ANTONII [103]

<u>Answer:</u>

Adaption to stress occurs in three stages: alarm, fight or flight, exhaustion.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the general adaptation syndrome theory proposed by Hans Selye, the adaption to stress occurs in three stages which are:

1. alarm

2. fight or flight

3. exhaustion

This is a process which comprises of three stages that describes the physiological changes which a body undergoes when in stress (an emotional, mental and physical human response to a specific stimulus).

What is the maximum number of unpaired d electrons that an atom or ion can possess?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

5

Explanation:

The d subshell has 5 orbitals, each capable of holding a maximum of two electrons. Hund's rule tells us that every orbital in a sub-level must first be singly occupied by electrons before any orbital is doubly occupied. Therefore five electrons will fill the five orbitals within the d subshell.
