The Hydro Power Plant Transforms One Form Of Energy Into Another. However, The Total Amountof Energy

Answers

Answer 1

The hydro power plant consists of a (artificial) dam that builds gravitational potential energy, P.E. from natural flowing water sources, by locating the dam along the water path. The stored potential energy, P. is converted into kinetic energy, K.E. as the water falls from the dam, down to the turbines, located at a much lower level according to the following principle of conservation of energy equation;

Total Mechanical Energy, M.E. = The potential energy of the water, P.E. + The kinetic energy of the water, K.E. = Constant

M.E. = P.E. + K.E. = Constant

Where;

P.E. = m·g·h

K.E. = (1/2)·m·v²

m = Mass

g = The acceleration due to gravity

h = The height of the dam

v = The velocity

The charts can be explained as follows;

Given that the potential energy P.E. = m·g·h, we have that the potential energy is directly proportional to the height of the dam, and therefore, at mid height, the potential energy would be half the maximum value, and we have;

At mid height, P.E. = (1/2)·[tex]\mathbf{P.E._{max}}[/tex]

At the top of the dam, the (vertical) velocity of the water = 0, therefore, the kinetic energy = 0

Therefore, at the top of the dam, we get;

M.E. = [tex]P.E._{max}[/tex] + 0 =

M.E. = [tex]\mathbf{P.E._{max}}[/tex]

Similarly, at the bottom of the dam, the height, h = 0, therefore, being proportional to the height, P.E. = 0, and the velocity is maximum, and at the bottom, we have;

M.E. = 0 + [tex]K.E._{max}[/tex]

The first chart, water is halfway down the dam

At the halfway down therefore, we have;

P.E. = (1/2)·[tex]\mathbf{P.E._{max}}[/tex]

M.E. = [tex]P.E._{max}[/tex] = (1/2)·

∴ K.E. = [tex]P.E._{max}[/tex] - (1/2)·

Therefore the first chart, water is halfway down the dam;

Halfway, K.E. = (1/2)·[tex]\mathbf{P.E._{max}}[/tex] = P.E.

K.E. = P.E.  as shown on the chart

The second chart, water has reached the turbine

Water reaches the turbine at the bottom, and as explained above, we get;

M.E. = 0 + [tex]K.E._{max}[/tex]

∴ M.E.≈ [tex]K.E._{max}[/tex]

Therefore, when water has reached the turbine at the bottom of the dam, the kinetic energy is approximately proportional to the total mechanical energy as shown in the chart

The third chart, water is at the top of the dam

Here as shown above, we have;

The total mechanical energy, M.E. ≈ [tex]\mathbf{P.E._{max}}[/tex] as shown on the chart

There is the more role of the moon than the sun to occur tides in the oceans,why?

Answers

Answer:

The ocean tides on earth are caused by both the moon's gravity and the sun's gravity. ... Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.

The moon plays a larger role than the sun in causing tides in the oceans because it is much closer to Earth and has a stronger gravitational pull on our planet. The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Although the sun is much larger than the moon, its gravitational pull on Earth is much weaker because it is much farther away. The moon, on the other hand, is much smaller than the sun, but it is much closer to Earth and exerts a stronger gravitational force on our planet. This gravitational force causes the water in the oceans to bulge towards the moon, causing high tides.

In addition to the gravitational force, the shape of the ocean basins, the rotation of the Earth, and the positions of the sun and moon also play a role in causing tides. However, the moon's gravitational force is the primary factor that causes tides in the oceans.

A boy shoves his stuffed toy zebra down a frictionless chute. It starts at a height of 1.45 m above the bottom of the chute with an initial speed of 1.23 m/s . The toy animal emerges horizontally from the bottom of the chute and continues sliding along a horizontal surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.231 . How far from the bottom of the chute does the toy zebra come to rest? Assume g=9.81 m/s2 .

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "4.97 m".

Explanation:

[tex]u = 1.23\ \frac{m}{s}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]H= 1.45 \ m\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\mu = 0.231\\\\[/tex]

The law of conservation tells us that heat energy at the top with kinetic energy at the top equals kinetic energy at the base.

[tex]mgh+\frac{1}{2}mu^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\2gh +u^2 =v^2\\\\v=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{(1.23\ \frac{m}{s})^2+2(9.81 \frac{m}{s^2}) +(1.45\ m)[/tex]

   [tex]=\sqrt{1.5129+19.62 +1.45}\\\\=\sqrt{22.5829}\\\\=4.75\ \frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Friction force is given by the formula

[tex]f=-\mu mg \\\\ma= -\mu mg\\\\a=-\mu g\\\\[/tex]

[tex]= -(0.231) \ (9.81\ \frac{m}{s^2})\\\\=-2.26611 \ \frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]

Now by using an equation of motion as

[tex]v^2-u^2= 2as[/tex]

From the above the distance traveled is

[tex]S=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]S=\frac{(0)^2-(4.75\ \frac{m}{s})^2}{2(-2.26611\ \frac{m}{s^2})}\\\\[/tex]

   [tex]=\frac{-(4.75\ \frac{m}{s})^2}{2(-2.26611\ \frac{m}{s^2})}\\\\=\frac{-22.5625}{-4.53222}\\\\=4.97[/tex]

In other words, the distance from the bottom of the chute to the point where the toy zebra comes to rest is [tex]s = 4.97\ m[/tex]

Pressure is defined by

           P = F / A

in this case the strength of the children is their weight

The plane of a5cm*8cm rectangular loop of wire is parallel to a 0.19T magnetic field the loop carries a current of 6.2 A. What torque acts on aloop? What is the magnetic moment of the loop?

Answers

Answer:

Torque; τ = 4.712 × 10^(-3) J

Magnetic moment; M = 0.0248 J/T

Explanation:

Torque is gotten from the formula;

τ = BIA

Where;

B is magnetic field

I is current

A is area

We are given;

B = 0.19T

I = 6.2A

Rectangle dimensions = 5cm by 8cm = 0.05m by 0.08m

Thus;

Area; A = 0.05m × 0.08m = 0.004 m²

Thus;

τ = 0.19 × 6.2 × 0.004

τ = 4.712 × 10^(-3) J

Formula for the magnetic moment is given by;

M = IA

M = 6.2 × 0.004

M = 0.0248 J/T
