Answer:

a) 627840000 W

b) 0.9233

Explanation:

The rate at which energy flows through the dam for the generation of electricity is proportional to the volulme flow rate times the potential energy per unit volume.

Mathematically,

P = Q(ρgh)

Where, ρ is water density, g is accelaration due to gravity, h is height through which water falls over the turbine and Q is the discharge.

a) The power can be calculated as

P = 640(1000×9.81×221)

P = 627840000 W

b) The ratio = Calculated power / avarage power

= 62784×10^4/680×10^6

= 0.9233

grandymaker [24]

The unit of force is the 'Newton'.

1 newton is the force that accelerates 1 kilogram of mass
at the rate of 1 meter per second-squared.

                   1 N  =  1 kg-m/s²

-- A force of 1 pound is about  4.448 newtons.

-- A force of 1 newton is about  3.6 ounces.

In an electromagnetics lab, you are studying two coils which have a mutual inductance of M=300 mH. Suppose that the current in t
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

The mutual inductance of the two coils is

M = 300mH = 300 × 10^-3 H

M = 0.3 H

Current increase in the coil from 2.8A to 10A

∆I = I_2 - I_1 = 10 - 2.8

∆I = 7.2 A

Within the time 300ms

t = 300ms = 300 × 10^-3

t = 0.3s

Second Coil resistance

R_2 = 0.4 ohms

We want to find the current in the second coil,

The same induced EMF is in both coils, so let find the EMF,

From faradays law

ε = Mdi/dt

ε = M•∆I / ∆t

ε = 0.3 × 7.2 / 0.3

ε = 7.2 Volts

Now, this is the voltage across both coils,

Applying ohms law to the second coil, V=IR

ε = I_2•R_2

0.72 = I_2 • 0.4

I_2 = 0.72 / 0.4

I_2 = 1.8 Amps

The current in the second coil is 1.8A

lozanna [386]

Answer:

1606

The main reason for using light years, however, is because the distances we deal with in space are immense. If we stick to miles or kilometers we quickly run into unwieldy numbers just measuring the distance to the nearest star: a dim red dwarf called Proxima Centauri that sits a mere 24,000,000,000,000 miles away!
