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 86 kg human stands on the surface of Venus. The mass of Venus is 4.9 × 1024 kg and its radius is 6.1 × 106 m. Collapse questio
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

755.37 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of venus=m_1=4.9\times 10^{24}kg

Radius=r=6.1\times 10^6m

Mass of human=m_2=86 kg

We know that the gravitational force between two bodies

F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

Where G=Gravitational constant=6.67\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2

Using the formula

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human=F=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 86\times 4.9\times 10^{24}}{(6.1\times 10^6)^2}

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human=F=755.37N

A 50.0 N box sliding on a rough horizontal floor, and the only horizontal force acting on it is friction. You observe that at on
Vikki [24]

Answer:

-4.0 N

Explanation:

Since the force of friction is the only force acting on the box, according to Newton's second law its magnitude must be equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

F_f = ma (1)

We can find the mass of the box from its weight: in fact, since the weight is W = 50.0 N, its mass will be

m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{50.0 N}{9.8 m/s^2}=5.1 kg

And we can fidn the acceleration by using the formula:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 1.75 m/s is the initial velocity

t = 2.25 s is the time the box needs to stop

Substituting, we find

a=\frac{0-1.75 m/s}{2.25 s}=-0.78 m/s^2

(the acceleration is negative since it is opposite to the motion, so it is a deceleration)

Therefore, substituting into eq.(1) we find the force of friction:

F_f = (5.1 kg)(-0.78 m/s^2)=-4.0 N

Where the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion of the box.

two engines are turned on for 763 s at a moment when the velocity of the craft has x and y components of v0x = 6380 m/s and v0y
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity component of engines is

v_0_x=6380 m/s

v_0_y=6770 m/s

time period of engine running=763 s

Displacement in x=4.50\times 10^6

y=7.27\times 10^6

Using s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2} in x and y direction

x=v_0_x\times t+\frac{at^2}{2}

4.50\times 10^6=6380\times 763+\frac{a\times 763^2}{2}

4.50\times 10^6-4.86\times 10^6=\frac{a\times 763^2}{2}

a=-1.23 m/s^2

In y direction

y=v_0_y\times t+\frac{a't^2}{2}

7.27\times 10^6=6770\times 763+\frac{a\times 763^2}{2}

7.27\times 10^6-5.16\times 10^6=\frac{a\times 763^2}{2}

a=7.24 m/s^2

x component=-1.23 m/s^2

y component=7.24 m/s^2
