Answer:
1. 0.574 kJ/kg
2. 315.7 MW
Explanation:
1. The mechanical energy per unit mass of the river is given by:
Where:
Ek is the kinetic energy
Ep is the potential energy
v is the speed of the river = 3 m/s
g is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h is the height = 58 m
Hence, the total mechanical energy of the river is 0.574 kJ/kg.
2. The power generation potential on the river is:
Therefore, the power generation potential of the entire river is 315.7 MW.
I hope it helps you!
Answer:
Choices A, B, and C are correct.
Explanation:
Let us look at each of the choices one by one:
A. It is a vector
Yes. Velocity is a vector, or it's a speed with direction.
B. It is the change in displacement divided by the change in time.
Yes. The velocity can be written as
where is the displacement—a vector quantity.
C. It can be measured in meters per second.
Yes. The units of velocity are m/s, but also with a unit vector indicating the direction.
D. It is the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph.
Nope. The velocity is the slope of displacement vs. time graph.
Hence, only choices A, B, and C are correct.
