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

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 horizontal spring with spring constant 85 N/mN/m extends outward from a wall just above floor level. A 4.5 kgkg box sliding ac
swat32

Answer:

v = 0.028 m/s

Explanation:

In this case you take into account that all the elastic potential of the box, when the spring is compressed is equal to the kinetic energy of the box before it hits the spring. That is:

K=U  

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2       (1)

m: mass of the box = 4.5kg

k: spring constant = 85N/m

x: compression of the spring = 6.5cm = 0.0065m

You solve the equation (1) for v:

v=x\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}           (2)

Next, you replace the values of the parameters:

v=(0.0065m)\sqrt{\frac{85N/m}{4.5kg}}=0.028\frac{m}{s}

The velocity of the box when it hits the spring is 0.028m/s
