what do hydroelectric plants use to generate electrical energy?

Answer:

t = 2.94 x 10⁶ years

Explanation:

The equation used in the case of constant speed is:

s = vt

t = s/v

where,

s = distance = 12 light years

s = (12 light years)(9.461 x 10¹² km/light year) =  113.532 x 10¹² km

v = speed = 440 km/hr

t = time passed = ?

Therefore,

t = (113.532 x 10¹² km)/(440 km/hr)

t = 2.58 x 10¹¹ hr

Now, converting it to years:

t = (2.58 x 10¹¹ hr)(1 year/8766 hr)

t = 2.94 x 10⁶ years

Answer:

v_max = (1/6)e^-1 a

Explanation:

You have the following equation for the instantaneous speed of a particle:

[tex]v(t)=ate^{-6t}[/tex]   (1)

To find the expression for the maximum speed in terms of the acceleration "a", you first derivative v(t) respect to time t:

[tex]\frac{dv(t)}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[ate^{-6t}]=a[(1)e^{-6t}+t(e^{-6t}(-6))][/tex]  (2)

where you have use the derivative of a product.

Next, you equal the expression (2) to zero in order to calculate t:

[tex]a[(1)e^{-6t}-6te^{-6t}]=0\\\\1-6t=0\\\\t=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

For t = 1/6 you obtain the maximum speed.

Then, you replace that value of t in the expression (1):

[tex]v_{max}=a(\frac{1}{6})e^{-6(\frac{1}{6})}=\frac{e^{-1}}{6}a[/tex]

hence, the maximum speed is v_max = ((1/6)e^-1)a

Answer:

-7.23 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the cockroach, m = 0.157 kg

Radius of the disk, r = 14.9 cm = 0.149 m

Rotational Inertia, I = 5.92*10^-3 kgm²

Speed of the cockroach, v = 2.92 m/s

Angular velocity of the rim, w = 3.89 rad/s

The initial angular momentum of rim is

Iw = 5.92*10^-3 * 3.89

Iw = 2.3*10^-2 kgm²/s

The initial angular momentum of cockroach about the axle of the disk is

L = -mvr

L = -0.157 * 2.92 * 0.149

L = -0.068 kgm²/s

This means that we can get the initial angular momentum of the system by summing both together

2.3*10^-2 + -0.068

L' = -0.045 kgm²/s

After the cockroach stops, the total inertia of the spinning disk is

I(f) = I + mr²

I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 0.157 * 0.149²

I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 3.49*10^-3

I(f) = 9.41*10^-3 kgm²

Final angular momentum of the disk is

L'' = I(f).w(f)

L''= 9.41*10^-3w(f)

Using the conservation of total angular momentum, we have

-0.068 = 9.41*10^-3w(f) + 0

w(f) = -0.068 / 9.41*10^-3

w(f) = -7.23 rad/s

Therefore, the speed of the lazy Susan after the cockroach stops is -7.23 and is directed in the opposite direction of the initial lazy Susan angular speed

b)

The mechanical energy of the cockroach is not converted as it stops

Answer:

There will be no change in the angular momentum of the system.

Explanation:

Total angular momentum of the system  will remain unchanged . We can apply law of conservation of momentum because no external torque is acting on the system . There is increase in the momentum of inertia due to dropping of ball of putty . In order to conserve angular momentum , the system decreases its angular velocity . Hence the final angular momentum remains unchanged .  

Answer:

Explanation:

The problem is based on Newton's law of cooling .

According to Newton's law

dQ / dt = k ( T - T₀ ) ,

dT / dt = k' ( T - T₀ )          ; dT / dt is rate of fall of temperature.

T is average  temperature of hot body , T₀ is temperature of surrounding .

In the first case rate of fall of temperature = (210 - 191) / 2.5

= 7.6 degree / s

average temperature T = (210 + 191) /2

= 200.5  

Putting in the equation

7.6 = k' ( 200.5  - 64 )

k' = 7.6 / 136.5

= .055677

In the second case :---

In the second case, rate of fall of temperature = (191 - 156) / t  

= 35 / t   , t is time required.

average temperature T = (156 + 191) /2

= 173.5  

Putting in the equation

35 / t = .05567 ( 173.5 - 64 )

t = 5.74 minute .

Answer:

Mass

Explanation:

Mass is the measure of amount of matter contained within any substance and hence mass determines the weight. Unit of mass is kilogram as per ISI system of units.  

Mass is measured through a balance. The more is the mass of an object, the more the balance tilts towards the object side.  

Weight is equal to product of mass and the gravitational constant i.e 9.8m/s^2

Answer:

a) 1.248 rad/s

b) 13.728 m/s

c) 0.52 rad/s^2

d) 17.132m/s^2

Explanation:

You have that the angles described by a astronaut is given by:

[tex]\theta=0.260t^2[/tex]

(a) To find the angular velocity of the astronaut you use the derivative og the angle respect to time:

[tex]\omega=\frac{d\theta}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[0.260t^2]=0.52t[/tex]

Then, you evaluate for t=2.40 s:

[tex]\omega=0.52(2.40)=1.248\frac{rad}{s}[/tex]

(b) The linear velocity is calculated by using the following formula:

[tex]v=\omega r[/tex]

r: radius if the trajectory of the astronaut = 11.0m

You replace r and w and obtain:

[tex]v=(1.248\frac{rad}{s})(11.0m)=13.728\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

(c) The tangential acceleration is:

[tex]a_T=\alpha r\\\\\alpha=\frac{\omega^2}{2\theta}=\frac{(1.248rad/s)^2}{2(0.260(2.40s)^2)}=0.52\frac{rad}{s^2}[/tex]

(d) The radial acceleration is:

[tex]a_r=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{(13.728m/s)^2}{11.0m}=17.132\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]

Answer:

Explanation:

Because the force of thirteen is greater than ten and applied to the opposite side

Answer:

The thickness of the door is 0.4230 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of bullet, m = 0.009 kg

initial velocity of the bullet, u = 803 m/s

final velocity of the bullet, v = 617 m/s

average resistive force of the door on the bullet, F = 5620 N

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

Force exerted by the door on the bullet = Force of the moving bullet

F = ma

where;

F is applied force

m is mass

a is acceleration

Also, Force exerted by the door on the bullet = Force of the moving bullet

[tex]F =ma, \ But \ a =\frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{u-v}{t} \\\\F = \frac{m(u-v)}{t}[/tex]

where;

v is the final velocity of the bullet

u is initial velocity of the bullet

t is time

We need to calculate the time spent by the bullet before it passes through the door.

[tex]t = \frac{m(u-v)}{F} \\\\t = \frac{0.009(803-617)}{5620} = 0.0002979 \ s[/tex]

Distance traveled by the bullet within this time period = thickness of the door

This distance is equivalent to the product of average velocity and time

[tex]S = (\frac{u+v}{2}) t[/tex]

where;

s is the distance traveled

[tex]S = (\frac{u+v}{2}) t\\\\S = (\frac{803+617}{2}) 0.0002979\\\\S = 0.4230 \ m[/tex]

Therefore, the thickness of the door is 0.4230 m

Answer:

The magnetic field at the center of the coil = 5.23 * 10 ^ -5 T

Explanation:

Information from the question:

Number of turns of the coil = 100 turns

The diameter of the coil = 6 m

The radius of the coil = diameter / 2 = 3 m

The coil current = 2.5 A

Formula : The Magnetic field at the center of the coil =

                                  k * number of turns * current / 2 * radius

Therefore, The Magnetic field at the center of the coil=

                                 (4 * [tex]\pi[/tex] * 10 ^ -7 * 100 * 2.5 ) / (2 * 3)

The Magnetic field at the center of the coil = 5.23 * 10 ^ -5 T

Answer: R.A.M

Explanation:

Answer:

The current pass the [tex]R_2[/tex] is  [tex]I = 0.25 A[/tex]

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image  

From the question we are told that

    The voltage  is  [tex]V = 3V[/tex]

     The first resistance is  [tex]R_1 = 7 \Omega[/tex]

     The second resistance is  [tex]R_2 = 5 \Omega[/tex]

Since the resistors are connected in series their equivalent resistance is  

       [tex]R_{eq} = R_1 +R_2[/tex]

Substituting values

         [tex]R_{eq} = 7 + 5[/tex]

         [tex]R_{eq} = 12 \Omega[/tex]

Since the resistance are connected in serie the current passing through the circuit  is the same current passing through [tex]R_2[/tex] which is mathematically evaluated as

        [tex]I = \frac{V}{R_{eq}}[/tex]

Substituting values  

      [tex]I = \frac{3}{12}[/tex]

      [tex]I = 0.25 A[/tex]

Answer:

A i. E = 9.62 × 10⁻⁷ J/s

D. i. 6.3 × 10⁻¹ J

ii. 1.4 × 10⁻² W

iii. 1.57 × 10³ Curie

E. 0.129 Ω

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

Mass of tumor = 0.20 kg

Activity of Cobalt-60 = 2.60 × 10⁻⁴ Ci

Photon energy = 1.25 MeV

(i) The energy, E, delivered to the tumor is given by the relation;

[tex]E = \frac{1}{2}\left (Number \, of \, decay / seconds \right )\times \left (Energy \, of \, photon \right )[/tex]

[tex]E = \frac{1}{2}\left (2.6\times 10^{-4}Ci )\times \left (\frac{3.70\times 10^{10}decays/s}{1 Ci} \right )\times 1.25\times 10^{6}eV\times \frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}J}{1eV}[/tex]

E = 9.62 × 10⁻⁷ J/s

(ii) The equation for absorbed dose is given as follows;

Absorbed dose, D, in Grays Gy = (Energy Absorbed Joules J)/Mass kg

Therefore, absorbed dose = (9.62 × 10⁻⁷ J/s)/( kg) = 4.81 × 10⁻⁶ Gy

1 Gray = 100 rad

4.81 × 10⁻⁷ Gy = 100 × 4.81 × 10⁻⁶ = 4.81 × 10⁻⁴ rad/s

(iii) Equivalent dose, H, is  given by the relation;

H = D × Radiation factor, [tex]w_R[/tex]

∴ H = 0.7 × 4.81 × 10⁻⁴ rad/s = 3.37 × 10⁻⁴ Sv = 3.37 × 10⁻⁴ rem/s

(iv) The exposure time required for an equivalent dose of 200 rem is given as follows;

[tex]\dot{H} = \dfrac{H}{t}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]t= \dfrac{200}{{3.37 \times 10^{-4}} } = 593471.81 \, s[/tex]

∴ t = 6.9 days

B. The number of electrons ejected is given by the relation;

[tex]N = \frac{P}{E} = \frac{P \times \lambda}{hc}[/tex]

[tex]N = \dfrac{2.0 \times 10^{-3} \times 400 \times 10^{-9}}{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8} = 4.025 \times 10^{15}/s[/tex]

(ii) The power carried by the electron

The energy carried away by the electrons is given by the relation;

[tex]KE_e = hv - \Phi[/tex]

[tex]KE_e = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{400 \times 10^{-9}} - 2.31 \times \frac{1.6 \times 10 ^{-19} }{1}[/tex]

[tex]KE_e = 4.9695 \times 10^{-19} - 3.696 \times 10 ^{-19} = 1.2735 \times 10^{-19} J[/tex]

Power, P[tex]_e[/tex], carried away by the electron = 4.025 × 10¹⁵ × 1.2735 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 0.512 mW

C. The given parameters are;

d = 1.19 mm, ∴ r = 1.19/2 = 0.595 × 10⁻³ m

l = 50 mm = 5 × 10⁻³ m

V = 500 ml = 5 × 10⁻⁴ m³

η = 0.0027 Pa

p = 1,900 Pa.

[tex]\dfrac{V}{t} = \dfrac{\pi }{8} \times \dfrac{P/l}{\eta } \times r^4[/tex]

[tex]t = \dfrac{8\times \eta\times V\times l }{\pi \times P \times r^4}[/tex]

[tex]t = \dfrac{8\times 0.0027 \times 5 \times 10^{-4} \times 5 \times 10^{-2} }{\pi \times 1900 \times (0.595 \times 10^{-4} )^4}[/tex]

t = 7218092.2 seconds

D) i. Energy absorbed is given by the relation;

E = m×D

Where:

D = 35 Gray = 35 J/kg

m = 18 g = 18 × 10⁻³ kg

∴ E = 35 × 18 × 10⁻³ = 6.3 × 10⁻¹ J

ii. Total time for treatment = 15 × 5 = 75 minutes

Energy absorbed = 6.3 × 10⁻¹ × 100 = 63 J

Power = Energy(in Joules)/Time (in seconds)

∴ Power = 63/(75×60) = 1.4 × 10⁻² W

iii. Whereby the power is provided by 0.5% of the photons emitted by the source, we have;

[tex]P_{source}= \frac{P_{beam}}{0.005} =\frac{0.0014}{0.005} =0.28 \, W[/tex]

1 MeV = 1.60218 × 10⁻¹³ J

0.03 MeV = 0.03 × 1.60218 × 10⁻¹³ J = 4.80654 × 10⁻¹⁵ J/photon

Therefore, the number of disintegration per second = 0.28 J/s ÷  4.80654 × 10⁻¹⁵ J/photon = 5.83 × 10¹³ disintegrations per second

1 Curie = 3.7 × 10¹⁰  disintegrations per second

Hence, 5.83 × 10¹³ disintegrations per second = (5.83 × 10¹³)/(3.7 × 10¹⁰) Curie

= 1.57 × 10³ Curie

E. The parameters given are;

Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Volume of water = 250 ml = 0.00025 m³

Initial temperature, T₁, = 25°C

Final temperature, T₂, = 100°C

Change in temperature, ΔT = 100 - 25 = 75°

Specific heat capacity of the water = 4200 J/kg/°C

Mass of water = Density × Volume = 1000 × 0.00025 = 0.25 kg

∴ Heat supplied = 4200 × 0.25 × 75 = 78,750 J

Time to heat the water = 45.0 sec

Therefore, power = Energy/time = 78750/45 = 1750 W

The formula for electrical power = I²R =VI = V²/R

Therefore, where V = 15.0 V, we have;

15²/R = 1750

R = 15²/1750 = 0.129 Ω.

The resistance of the heater = 0.129 Ω.

L= 276.4 mm

Explanation:

Given that

E= 180 GPa

d= 3.7 mm

F= 1890 N

ΔL= 0.45 mm

We know that ,elongation due to load F in a cylindrical bar is given as follows

[tex]\Delta L =\dfrac{FL}{AE}[/tex]

[tex]L=\dfrac{\Delta L\times AE}{F}[/tex]

Answer:

C. The left wire attracts the right wire and exerts as much force as the right wire does.

Explanation:

To know what is the answer you first take into account the magnetic field generated by each current, for a distance of d:

[tex]B_1=\frac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi d}=\frac{\mu_o}{2\pi d}(1A)\\\\B_2=\frac{\mu_oI_2}{2\pi d}=\frac{\mu_o}{2\pi d}(2A)=2B_1\\\\[/tex]

Next, you use the formula for the magnetic force produced by the wires:

[tex]\vec{F_B}=I\vec{L}\ X \vec{B}[/tex]

if the direction of the L vector is in +k direction, the first wire produced a magnetic field with direction +y, that is, +j and the second wire produced magnetic field with direction -y, that is, -j (this because the direction of the magnetic field is obtained by suing the right hand rule). Hence, the direction of the magnetic force on each wire, produced by the other one is:

[tex]\vec{F_{B1}}=I_1L\hat{k}\ X\ B_2(-\hat{j})=I_1LB_2\hat{i}=(2A^2)\frac{L\mu_o}{2\pi d}\hat{i}\\\\\vec{F_{B2}}=I_2L\hat{k}\ X\ B_2(\hat{j})=I_2LB_1\hat{i}=-(2A^2)\frac{L\mu_o}{2\pi d}\hat{i}[/tex]

Hence, due to this result you have that:

C. The left wire attracts the right wire and exerts as much force as the right wire does.

It is required to find the angular acceleration. The change in angular speed of the CD player divided by time taken is called its angular acceleration. It can be given by :

[tex]a=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{41.8-0}{3}\\\\a=13.94\ rad/s^2[/tex]

So, the angular acceleration of CD player is [tex]13.93\ rad/s^2[/tex].

Answer:

Option A, Sea Breeze

Explanation:

Ssea breeze is a wind that blows from the ocean or any water body to the nearby land mass. This breeze is cold as compared to the air on land. The water in water bodies has high specific heat capacity and hence takes longer time to cool as compared to the surrounding objects. The warmer air over the land rises upward thereby reducing the pressure on land and hence the sea breeze starts flowing from region of high pressure (i.e above the water body) towards the low pressure region that is the land.

Hence, option A is correct

Given that :

mass of the block   m =  200.0 g  = 200 × 10⁻³ kg

the horizontal spring constant   k  =  4500.0 N/m

position of the block (distance x) = 4.00 cm  = 0.04 m

To determine the speed the block will be traveling when it leaves the spring; we applying the  work done on the spring as it is stretched (or compressed) with the kinetic energy.

i.e [tex]\frac{1}{2} kx^2 = \frac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex]
