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

Object 1 of mass m moves with speed v in the positive direction. Object 2 of mass 3 m moves with speed 4 v in the negative x-dir
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion e.g motion of an accelerating car. Mathematically,

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv² where;

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

If Object 1 of mass m moves with speed v in the positive direction, its kinetic energy will be expressed as;

K1 = 1/2mv²

For Object 2 of mass 3m moving with speed 4v in the negative x-direction, its kinetic energy can be expressed as;

K2 = 1/2(3m)(4v)²

K2 = 1/2(3m)(16v²)

K2 = (3m)(8v²)

K2 = 24mv²

To compare the kinetic energy of both bodies, we will take the ratio of K2:K1 to have;

K2/K1 = 24mv²/(1/2)mv²

K2/K1 = 24/(1/2)

K2/K1 = 48

K2 = 48K1

This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object and moving in the negative x direction since the body of mass 3m initially moves in the negative x direction.

What is the period of a wave with a frequency of 100 Hz and a wavelength of 2.0 m
spin [16.1K]

The answer for the following answer is answered below.

  • <u><em>Therefore the time period of the wave is 0.01 seconds.</em></u>
  • <u><em>Therefore the option for the answer is "B".</em></u>

Explanation:

Frequency (f):

The number of  waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time.

The SI unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz)

Time period (T):

The time taken for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point.

The SI unit of time period is seconds (s)

Given:

frequency (f) = 100 Hz

wavelength (λ) = 2.0 m

To calculate:

Time period (T)

We know;

According to the formula;

<u>f =</u>\frac{1}{T}<u></u>

Where,

f represents the frequency

T represents the time period

from the formula;

  T = \frac{1}{f}

 T = \frac{1}{100}

  T = 0.01 seconds

<u><em>Therefore the time period of the wave is 0.01 seconds.</em></u>

What amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of 25 grams of copper to cause a 15ºC change? The specific heat of copp
Lina20 [59]

The amount of heat required is B) 150 J

Explanation:

The amount of heat energy required to increase the temperature of a substance is given by the equation:

Q=mC\Delta T

where:

m is the mass of the substance

C is the specific heat capacity of the substance

\Delta T is the change in temperature of the substance

For the sample of copper in this problem, we have:

m = 25 g (mass)

C = 0.39 J/gºC (specific heat capacity of copper)

\Delta T = 15^{\circ}C (change in temperature)

Substituting, we find:

Q=(25)(0.39)(15)=146 J

So, the closest answer is B) 150 J.
