Answer:

Advantages of Hydroelectric Energy

1 Renewable

Hydroelectric energy is renewable. This means that we cannot use up. However, there’s only a limited number of suitable reservoirs where hydroelectric power plants can be built and even less places where such projects are profitable.

2 Green

Generating electricity with hydro energy is not polluting itself. The only pollution occurs during the construction of these massive power plants.

3 Reliable

Hydroelectricity is very reliable energy. There are very little fluctuations in terms of the electric power that is being by the plants, unless a different output is desired. Countries that have large resources of hydropower use hydroelectricity as a base load energy source. As long as there is water in the magazines electricity can be generated.

4 Flexible

As previously mentioned, adjusting water flow and output of electricity is easy. At times where power consumption is low, water flow is reduced and the magazine levels are being conserved for times when the power consumption is high.

5 Safe

Compared to among others fossil fuels and nuclear energy, hydroelectricity is much safer. There is no fuel involved (other than water that is).

A photon of light has a wavelength of about 600 nm (1nm = 1 x 10-9 m). What is the energy of this photon of light? Show all calc
bezimeni [28]
Wavelength = 600 nm = 600 × 10^(-9)
speed of light = c = 3 × 10^8
planck constant = h = 6.63 × 10^(-34)

energy of photon = hc/wavelength
 = 6.63 × 10^(-34) × 3 × 10^8/600 × 10^(-9)
 = 1.9 × 10^(-25)/6 × 10^(-7)
 = 0.31 × 10^(-16)
 = 3.1 × 10^(-17)

Engineers and science fiction writers have proposed designing space stations in the shape of a rotating wheel or ring, which wou
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

w = 1.976 rpm

Explanation:

For simulate the gravity we will use the centripetal aceleration a_c, so:

a_c = w^2r

where w is the angular aceleration and r the radius.

We know by the question that:

r = 60.5m

a_c = 2.6m/s2

So, Replacing the data, and solving for w, we get:

2.6m/s = w^2(60.5m)

W = 0.207 rad/s

Finally we change the angular velocity from rad/s to rpm as:

W = 0.207 rad/s = 0.207*60/(2\pi)= 1.976 rpm

How does a blue object look under all colors of light
OverLord2011 [107]
The "blue" object would look the same. Say that this blue object is a square. That "square" is every color but blue. The only reason that you see it as "blue" is because what we call "blue", it the only color of light that bounces back at our eyes. Under all colors of light, especially simultaneously. This square or any shape for that matter would absorb the other colors of light, but the blue will be rejected. Therefore, we can only see what bounces back at our eyes, which is the color blue in this case.

Check all that apply. An ammeter is used to measure current. An ammeter must be placed in parallel with a resistor to measure th
Juliette [100K]

<u>Out of all given choices, the following statements are true:</u>

  • An ammeter is used to measure current.
  • A voltmeter is used to measure voltage.
  • A voltmeter must be placed in parallel with a resistor to measure the voltage across the resistor.

Options A, E, and F

<u>Explanation:</u>

An instrument by which the current in a circuit is measured is  called ammeter whereas an instrument in which voltage is measured in a circuit is called a voltmeter . The ammeter is placed in series with the resistor while the voltmeter is placed in parallel with the resistor.

For the option B, since the ammeter must be placed in series with the resistor to measure current, it is false. Option C is false because an ammeter has zero internal resistance. Option D is also false because a voltmeter has a high internal resistance and is actually infinite.

How does the entropy of steam compare to the entropy of ice?
Dmitriy789 [7]

The answer is; The entropy of steam is larger than because it is more disordered than ice

Entropy is synonymous to the degree of disorder or randomness of molecules in a system. The molecules of steam are far apart from each other and move randomly in the system colliding with each other. Those of ice has less kinetic energy, vibrate more or less in a fixed position in the structiure, and are arranged in a orderd fashion
