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.

One of the largest planes ever to fly, and the largest to fly frequently, is the Ukrainian-built Antonov An-124 Ruslan. The grav
Lerok [7]

Answer:

m = 236212 [kg]

Explanation:

The potential energy can be determined by means of the product of mass by gravity by height. In this way, we have the following equation.

P=m*g*h\\

where:

P = potential energy = 3360000000 [J]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 1450 [m]

Now, we can clear the mass from the equation above:

3360000000=m*9.81*1450\\m = 236212 [kg]

Describe a sea-level transgression
Eduardwww [97]
<span>Some geographic areas endure cycles between these two processes called transgressive-regressive sequences. The rocks of western Pennsylvania are one example. Sandy beaches often leave observable records of transgression by covering marsh sediments that were once behind it as it moves inland. The original sediments are then covered by even deeper water sediments, which geologists can trace and record. It is generally believed that transgression will increase in accordance with rising sea levels worldwide</span>

Transformer is used in rectifier step up and step down voltage?<br>​
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

While the use of the type of transformer in a rectifier depends on the voltage requirement or to meet desired operating conditions, a step-down transformer is used mainly to reduce the voltage. It is used to bring the high AC voltage level to a reasonable value or the desired output voltage.

A positive charge of 8.0 × 10-4 C is in an electric field that exerts a force of 3.5 × 10-4 N on it. What is the strength of the
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

E = 0.437 N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, q=8\times 10^{-4}\ C

Electric force, F=3.5\times 10^{-4}\ N

Let the strength of the electric field is E. We know that, the electric force is given by :

F = qE

Where

E is the electric field strength

E=\dfrac{F}{q}\\\\E=\dfrac{3.5\times 10^{-4}}{8\times 10^{-4}}\\E=0.437\ N/C

So, the strength of the electric field is equal to 0.437 N/C.
