the water behind hoover dam in nevada is 206 m higher than the colorado river below it. at what rate must water pass through the hydraulic turbines of this dam to produce 100 mw of power if the turbines are 100 percent efficient

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the required mass flow rate is 49484.37 kg/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we first determine the relation for mass flow rate of water that passes through the turbine;

so the relation for net work on the turbine due to the change in potential energy considering 100% efficiency is;

[tex]W_{net}[/tex] = m ( Δ P.E )

so we substitute (gh) for ( Δ P.E );

[tex]W_{net}[/tex] = m (gh)

m = [tex]W_{net}[/tex] / gh

so we substitute our given values into the equation

m = 100 MW / ( 9.81 m/s²) × 206 m

m = ( 100 MW × 10⁶W/MW) / ( 9.81 m/s²) × 206 m

m = 10 × 10⁷ / 2020.86

m = 49484.37 kg/s

Therefore, the required mass flow rate is 49484.37 kg/s

16. An object has a gravitational potential energy 41,772.5 Jof and has a mass of 1550 kg. How high is it
above the ground?
Plz help

Answers

Answer:

2.75 m.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Potential energy (PE) = 41772.5 J

Mass (m) of object = 1550 kg

Height (h) =?

Potential energy is the energy possess by an object due to its location. Mathematically, potential energy is expressed as shown below:

PE = mgh

Where

PE => potential energy

m => mass of the object

g => acceleration due to gravity

h => height to which the object is located.

With the above formula, we can obtain the height to which the object is located as follow:

Potential energy (PE) = 41772.5 J

Mass (m) of object = 1550 kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) =?

PE = mgh

41772.5 = 1550 × 9.8 × h

41772.5 = 15190 × h

Divide both side by 15190

h = 41772.5 / 15190

h = 2.75 m

Thus, the object is located at 2.75 m above the ground.

The driver of a 3000 lb. car, coasting down a hill, sees a red light at the bottom, and must stop. His speed when he applies the brakes is 60 mph, and he is 100 feet (vertically) above the bottom of the hill. (a)How much energy as heat must be dissipated by the brakes if we neglect wind resistance and other frictional effects

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

60 mph = 60 x 1760 x 3 / (60 x 60) ft /s

speed of car , v = 88 ft /s

kinetic energy of car = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 3000 x 88²

= 11616 x 10³ poundal - foot

Potential energy = mgh

= 3000 x 32 x 100

=  9600 x 10³ poundal - foot

Total energy = potential energy + kinetic energy

= ( 11616 + 9600 )x 10³

= 21216 x 10³ poundal - foot .

This energy is dissipated as heat when brakes are applied on the car to stop the car .

Answer: When there is another magnet close by.

Explanation: The needle of a compass is itself a magnet, and thus the north pole of the magnet always points north, except when it is near a strong magnet. ... When you take the compass away from the bar magnet, it again points north. So, we can conclude that the north end of a compass is attracted to the south end of a magnet.

A 70 kg Throckmorton was riding his skateboard when a small, but juicy 0.001 kg beetle hits the front of his helmet, splattering, obstructing his view. Who experienced the greatest change in momentum?

Answer:

The beetle

Explanation:

The beetle is correct because of the the force of the Throckmortan was a lot heavier and thus making the beetle feel the force.

Momentum before = momentum after

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(70.0 kg) (3.0 m/s) + (2.0 kg) (3.0 m/s) = (70.0 kg) (3.1 m/s) + (2.0 kg) v

210 kg m/s + 6 kg m/s = 217 kg m/s + (2.0 kg) v

-1 kg m/s = (2.0 kg) v

v = -0.5 m/s

The skateboard's velocity is 0.5 m/s west. Hope I helped and have a good day!

At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile starts with a constant acceleration a of 2.70 m/s2. At the same instant a truck, traveling with a constant speed of 9.50 m/s, overtakes and passes the automobile. (a) How far beyond the traffic signal will the automobile overtake the truck

Answers

Answer:

66.85 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Acceleration ,a=[tex]2.7m/s^2[/tex]

Speed of truck, v=9.5 m/s

We have to find the distance beyond which the traffic signal will the automobile overtake the truck.

Initial speed of automobile, u=0

We know that

[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]s=0+\frac{1}{2}(27)t^2=\frac{27}{2}t^2[/tex]

For constant speed

Acceleration, a=0

Again

[tex]s=vt+0=9.5t[/tex]

[tex]9.5t=\frac{27}{2}t^2[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{9.5\times 2}{2.7}=7.037s[/tex]

Substitute the value of t

[tex]x=9.5(7.037)=66.85m[/tex]

Hence, the distance beyond which the traffic signal will the automobile overtake the truck=66.85 m

A box of bananas weighing 51.0 N rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.46 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.23. Part A If no horizontal force is applied to the box and the box is at rest, how large is the frictional force exerted on the box by the surface

Answers

static friction force = The coefficient of static friction * normal force

static friction force = 0.46 * 51 = 23.46 N

kinetic friction force = The coefficient of kinetic friction * normal force

kinetic friction force = 0.23 * 51 = 11.73 N

the applied force acting on the object must be more than 23.5 N if the object was stationary to move it and must be more than 11.7 N during the movement to keep the object moving

A hanging wire made of an alloy of titanium with diameter 0.05 cm is initially 2.7 m long. When a 15 kg mass is hung from it, the wire stretches an amount 1.68 cm. A mole of titanium has a mass of 48 grams, and its density is 4.54 g/cm3. Based on these experimental measurements, what is Young's modulus for this alloy of titanium

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Young's modulus of elasticity Y = stress / strain

stress = force / cross sectional area

= weight of 15 kg / π r²

= 15 x 9.8 / 3.14 x ( .025 x 10⁻² )²

stress = 74.9 x 10⁷ N / m²

strain = Δ L / L , Δ L is change in length and L is original length

Putting the values

strain = .0168 / 2.7 =.006222

Young's modulus of elasticity Y  = 74.9 x 10⁷ / .006222

= 120.88 x 10⁹ N / m² .

4. Sally applies a horizontal force of 462 N with a rope to drag a wooden crate across a floor with a constant speed. The rope tied to the crate is pulled at an angle of 56.00 . c.What work is done by the floor through force of friction between the floor and the crate

Answers

Answer:

-6,329.5Joules

Explanation:

Complete question:

Sally applies a horizontal force of 462N with a rope to drag a wooden crate across a floor with a constant speed the rope tied to the crate is pulled at an angle of 56.0degree and sally moves the crate 24.5m. What work is done by the floor through the force of friction between the floor and crate.

Work done = Fd cos theta

F is the horizontal force

d is the distance covered

theta angle of inclination

Substituting into the formula

Workdone  = 462(24.5)cos 56

Workdone = 11,319(0.5592)

Workdone = 6,329.5Joules

Hence the workdone by sally is 6,329.5Joules

The work done by friction will be opposite the work done by sally, hence work done by the floor through force of friction between the floor and the crate is -6,329.5Joules

What must the charge (sign and magnitude) of a particle of mass 1.48 g be for it to remain stationary when placed in a downward-directed electric field of magnitude 640 N/C

Answers

Answer:

[tex]q=-2.26\times 10^{-5}\ C[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a particle, m = 1.48 g = 0.00148 kg

The electric field, E = 640 N/C

We need to find the charge of the particle when placed in a downward-directed electric field.

The force of gravity is balanced by the electric force such that,

mg = qE

Where

q is the charge of the particle

[tex]q=\dfrac{mg}{E}\\\\q=\dfrac{0.00148\times 9.8}{640}\\\\q=2.26\times 10^{-5}\ C[/tex]

q must be negative, the force must be upward (opposite direction of the electric field).

An electric vehicle starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 2.3 m/s2 in a straight line until it reaches a speed of 29 m/s. The vehicle then slows at a constant rate of 1.5 m/s2 until it stops. (a) How much time elapses from start to stop

Answers

Answer:

t = 12.6 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity, u = 0

Acceleration of an electric vehicle, a = 2.3 m/s²

Final velocity, v = 29 m/s

We need to find the time elapses from start to stop. The acceleration of an object is given by the relation as follows :

[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{29-0}{2.3}\\\\t=12.6\ s[/tex]

So, 12.6 seconds is elapsed from start to stop.

a long solid rod 4.5 cm in radius carries a uniform volume charge density. if the electric field strength at the surface of the rod (not near either end) is 16 kn/c, what is the volume charge density

Answers

Answer:

6.29 μC/m³

Explanation:

Volume charge density is the quantity of charge per unit volume.

The direction of the electric field was not specified, therefore the volume charge density (ρ) is given by:

2πRLE = ρπR²L/ε₀

ρ = 2Eε₀ / R

Where E = electric field strength = 16 kN/C = 16 * 10³ N/C, R = radius of rod = 4.5 cm = 0.045 m, ε₀ = relative permittivity of free space = 8.85 * 10⁻¹² C² / Nm²

Therefore:

ρ = 2(16 * 10³ N/C)(8.85 * 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²) / 0.045 m = 6.29 * 10⁻⁶ C/m³

ρ = 6.29 μC/m³

1. In calculating the work W necessary to stretch a spring from its natural length of 8 centimeters to a length of 12 centimeters, we need some more information about the spring. There are two distinct kinds of information, each of which separately would provide the necessary assistance so we could find W. Describe what the two additional kinds of information are.

Answers

Answer:

* displacement from equilibrium position

* The spring constant,

Explanation:

The work done by a spring is two times the expressions

         W = ∫ F. dx

         

in a spring the force is given by hooke's law

          F = - k Δx

we substitute

         W = - k ∫ x dx cos θ

In the case of the spring, the displacement is in the same direction of work, therefore the angle is zero and the cosine is equal to 1

we integrate

           W = ½ k Δx²

we can see that we need two parts to calculate the work

* displacement from equilibrium position

          Δx = 12 -8 = 4 cm

* The spring constant, this constant can be found from the displacement measurements as a function of the applied force.
