Explain how the potential energy is changed to kinetic energy in the Hoover Dam​

Physics
1 answer:
Nastasia [14]3 years ago
5 0

The water behind a hydroelectric dam stores gravitational potential energy since it is at a higher level than the water on the other side of the dam. As the water falls, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which turns turbines to generate electricity. Often, the water comes from behind a dam built across a river valley. The water high up behind the dam contains gravitational potential energy . This is transferred to kinetic energy as the water rushes down through tubes inside the dam. The moving water drives electrical generators , which may be built inside the dam.

Compare and contrast the inner and outer planets. (Must be in complete sentences) (At least 5 sentences).
Karolina [17]

To contrast inner and outer planets we will start with the climate of the planets and then move on to there lighting. To start the planets closet to the sun, mercury, venus, earth and mars, are all hot compared to the further one, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune. This distance also makes the farthe away planets darker than the ones closer. Now to compare all the planets vary from either gass or solid, rocky or icy. All of them spin around the sun and all have objects spinning around them, moons.

State the methods of nuclear fission waste disposal and the suitability of each method.
Alexeev081 [22]
<span>Most low-level radioactive waste (LLW) is typically sent to land-based disposal immediately following its packaging for long-term management. This means that for the majority (~90% by volume) of all of the waste types produced by nuclear technologies, a satisfactory disposal means has been developed and is being implemented around the world.
</span>

Radioactive wastes are stored so as to avoid any chance of radiation exposure to people, or any pollution.The radioactivity of the wastes decays with time, providing a strong incentive to store high-level waste for about 50 years before disposal.Disposal of low-level waste is straightforward and can be undertaken safely almost anywhere.Storage of used fuel is normally under water for at least five years and then often in dry storage.<span>Deep geological disposal is widely agreed to be the best solution for final disposal of the most radioactive waste produced.

7. A 1000 kg car is rolling down the street at 2.5 m/s. How fast would a 2500 kg car have to
babunello [35]

1 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this question we use the following formula:

momentum = mass × velocity

momentum of the first car = 1000 kg × 2.5 m/s

momentum of the second car = 2500 kg × X m/s

To bring the cars at rest the momentum of the first car have to be equal to the momentul of the second car.

momentum of the first car = momentum of the second car

1000 kg × 25 m/s = 2500 kg × X m/s

X (velocity of the second car) = (1000 × 25) / 2500 = 1 m/s

If an object accelerates from rest, with a constant of 8 m/s2, what will its velocity be after 35s?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

<em>Its speed will be 280 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the speed of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

If a is the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, vf can be calculated as:

v_f=v_o+at

The object accelerates from rest (vo=0) at a constant acceleration of a=8\ m/s^2. The final speed at t=35 seconds is:

v_f=0+8*35

v_f=280\ m/s

Its speed will be 280 m/s

What is the safest way to enter a body of water? Enter with you feet first. Dive in.
zimovet [89]

Answer: feet first

Explanation:

It is always the safest to enter with your feet first. You can become paralyzed or injure you neck if you dive into a body of water that is too shallow. Therefore its always best to dive feet first instead.
