Water flows over Niagara Falss at the average rate of 2,400,000 kg/s, and the average height of the falls is about 50 m. Knowing

that the graviatational potential energy of falling water per second = mass (kg) x height (m) x gravity (9.8 m/s2), what is the power of Niagara Falls? How many 15 W LED light bulbs could it power?

Answer:

1. 176 × 10^12 W ; 78400000000

Explanation:

Given the following :

Fall rate = 2,400,000kg/s

Average height of fall = 50m

Gravitational Potential of falling water = mgh = mass × acceleration due to gravity × height =

How many 15 W LED light bulbs could it power?

Recall : power = workdone / time

Workdone = gravitational potential energy

Mass of water = density * volume

Density of water = 1 * 10^3kg/m^3

Rate of fow = volume / time = 2400000

Hence,

Power = 1000 * 2,400,000 * 9.8 * 50

Power = 1176000000000

Power = 1. 176 × 10^12 W

How many 15 W LED light bulbs could it power?

1176000000000 / 15 = 78400000000

= 78400000000 15 W bulbs

A 0.300 g piece of copper is heated and fashioned into a bracelet. The amount of energy transferred by heat to the copper is 66,
Alja [10]

Answer:

X=600 degrees celsius

Explanation:

We can evaluate by using the equation ==> Q=m(c)(delta T)

-We know the mass is 0.3 g

-Q= 66,300 J

-C= 390 j/g 0C

-Therefore, we need to solve for delta T (which will be represented by x)

 Q= mct

66,300 J= 0.3 g (390 J/g 0C) (t)

The unit of measurement (g-grams) can be crossed out on the left side of our expression.

66,300 J=0.3(390 J 0C) (t)

-If we convert into a proportional relationship:

66,300 J                117 J/0C x

------------       =        -----------

117 J/0C                 117 J/0C

-Joules on both sides can be crossed off

*117 J/0C came from the product in terms of 0.3(390 J 0C)

*If we find the quotient of 66,300 J and 117 J/0C, we get 566.6 repeating

-You may keep the answer as it is, although for simplicity reasons, we can round to the nearest hundred.

-Therefore, x=600.

-----Remember, x represented the delta t in our equation. (I made notice of that when evaluating).

Hope this helps! :)

Choose two different particles found in the air. Explain how they are different and how they are the same
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Dust and smoke.

Explanation:

Dust and smoke are two different particles present in the air. Dust and smoke are different from one another due to their origin. Smoke formed from burning of materials while dust refers to the soil particles lifted by the wind due to their light weight. Dust and smoke are similar to each other due to their small in size, infinite number means uncountable and light weight.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

El volumen del cuerpo es el mismo al comienzo de la experiencia.

Explicación:

El volumen del cuerpo es el mismo al principio porque el volumen no cambia si la temperatura permanece igual. Si cambiamos la temperatura i. mi. Al aumentar la temperatura, las moléculas comienzan a expandirse y se produce un aumento de volumen mientras que cuando disminuimos la temperatura, las moléculas de esa sustancia comienzan a contraerse y el volumen de esa sustancia disminuye. Entonces concluimos que el volumen depende de la temperatura.

What is water's density at 93 ∘C? Assume a constant coefficient of volume expansion. Express your answer with the appropriate un
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

982.5 kg/m³

Explanation:

When the temperature of a fluid increases, it dilates, and because of the variation of the volume, it's density will vary too. The density can be calculated by the expression:

ρ₁ = ρ₀/(1 + β*(t₁ - t₀))

Where ρ₁ is the final density, ρ₀ the initial density, β is the constant coefficient of volume expansion, t₁ the final temperature, and t₀ the initial temperature.

At t₀ = 4°C, the water desity is ρ₀ = 1,000 kg/m³. The value of the constant for water is β = 0.0002 m³/m³ °C, so, for t₁ = 93°C

ρ₁ = 1,000/(1 + 0.0002*(93 - 4))

ρ₁ = 1,000/(1+ 0.0178)

ρ₁ = 982.5 kg/m³
