The correct answer to the question is : B) Both use kinetic energy to produce electricity.

EXPLANATION:

Hydroelectricity is produced when the kinetic energy of the falling water rotates the turbine. The generator associated with the turbine is rotated, and electric energy is produced due to electric magnetic induction.

In case of power plants in which wind is used as energy source, the same process happens. The kinetic energy of wind rotates the propellers of wind turbine which in turn produces electric energy.

Hence, the correct similarity between them is statement B.

The hydropower plant and wind turbines both uses kinetic energy to produce mechanical power and convert the mechanical energy using a generator to an electrical energy. They both have the process to produce energy but they differ in the source the hydropower plant uses water to whit the wind turbines power plant uses wind. Therefore the answer is letter B.

An object on a number line moved from x = 15 cm to x = 165 cm and then
olasank [31]

Answer:

v_avg = 2.9 cm/s

Explanation:

The average velocity of the object is the sum of the distance of all its trajectories divided the time:

v_{avg}=\frac{x_{all}}{t}

x_all is the total distance traveled by the object. In this case you have that the object traveled in the first trajectory 165cm-15cm = 150cm, and in the second one, 165cm - 25cm = 140cm

Then, x_all = 150cm + 140cm = 290cm

The average velocity is, for t = 100s

v_{avg}=\frac{290cm}{100s}=2.9\frac{cm}{s}

hence, the average velocity of the object in the total trajectory traveled is 2.9 cm/s

(1 point) Which of the following statements are true?A.The equation Ax=b is referred to as a vector equation.B.If the augmented
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

A. False

B. False

C. True

D. True

E. True

F. True

Explanation:

A. The equation Ax=b is referred to as a matrix equation and not vector equation.

B. If the augmented matrix [ A b ] has a pivot position in every​ row then equation Ax=b may or may not be consistent. It is inconsistent if [A b] has a pivot in the last column b and it is consistent if the matrix A has a pivot in every row.

C. In the product of Ax also called the dot product the first entry is a sum of products. For example the the product of Ax where A has [a11 a12 a13] in the first entry of each column and the corresponding entries in x are [x1 x2 x3] then the first entry in the product is the sum of products i.e.  a11x1 + a12x2 +a13x3

D. If the columns of mxn matrix A span R^m, this states that every possible vector b in R^m is a linear combination of the columns which makes the equation consistent. So the equation Ax=b has at least one solution for each b in R^m.

E. It is stated that a vector equation x1a1 + x2a2 + x3a3 + ... + xnan = b has the same solution set as that of the linear system with augmented matrix [a1 a2 ... an b]. So the solution set of linear system whose augmented matrix is [a1 a2 a3 b] is the same as solution set of Ax=b if A=[a1 a2 a3]  and b can be produced by linear combination of a1 a2 a3 iff the solution of linear system corresponding to [a1 a2 a3 b] takes place.

F.  It is true because lets say b is a vector in R^m which is not in the span of  the columns. b cannot be obtained for some x which belongs to R^m as b = Ax. So Ax=b is inconsistent for some b in R^m and has no solution.

A pyrotechnical releases a 3 kg firecracker from rest. at t=0.4 s, the firecracker is moving downward with a speed 4 m/s. At the
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

a) F = 30 N, b)   I = 12 N s , c)  I = -12 N s , d) ΔI = 0 N s

Explanation:

This exercise is a case at the moment, let's define the system formed by the firecracker and its two parts, in this case the forces during the explosion are internal and the moment is conserved

Initial, before the explosion

     p₀ = m v

The speed can be found by kinematics

     v = v₀ - g t

     v = 0 - 10 0.4

     v = -4.0 m / s

Final after division

     pf = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

    p₀ = pf

    M v = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

Where M is the initial mass (M = 3 kg), m₁ is the mass mtop (m₁ = 1 kg) and m₂ in the mass m botton (m₂ = 2kg) and the piece that moves up (v₁f = 6m/s )

a) before the explosion the only force acting on the body is gravity

     F = mg

     F = 3 10 = 30 N

b) The expression for momentum is

     I = Ft

Before the explosion the only force that acts is the weight

    I = mg t

    I = 3 10 0.4

    I = 12 N s

c) To calculate this part we use the conservation of the moment and calculate the speed of the body that descends body 2

    M v = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

    v₂f = (M v - m₁ v₁f) / m₂

    v₂f = (3 (-4) - 1 6) / 2

   v₂f = - 9 m / 2

The negative sign indicates that body 2 (botton) is descending

Now we can use the momentum and momentum relationship for the body during the explosion

    I = F t = Dp

   F t = pf –po)

   F t= [m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f]

   

   I = [1 6 + 2 (-9) -0]

   I = -12 N s

This is the impulse during the explosion the negative sign indicates that it is headed down

d) impulse change

I₀ = Mv

I₀ = 3 *4

I₀ =-12 N s

 ΔI =If – I₀  

ΔI = - 12 – (-12)

ΔI = -0 N s

The planet Neptune orbits the Sun. Its orbital radius is 30.130.130, point, 1 astronomical units (\text{AU})(AU)left parenthesis
lord [1]

Answer:

The distance the planet Neptune travels in a single orbit around the Sun is <em>60.2π </em><em>AU.</em>

Explanation:

As it is given that the Neptune's orbit is circular, the formula that we have to use is the circumference of a circle in order to find the distance it travels in a single orbit around the Sun. In other words, you can say that the circumference of the circle is <em>equivalent</em> to the distance it travels around the Sun in a single orbit.

<em>The circumference of the circle = Distance Travelled (in a single orbit) = 2*π*R ---- (A)</em>

Where,

<em>R = Orbital radius (in this case) = 30.1 AU</em>

<em />

Plug the value of R in the equation (A):

<em>(A) => The circumference of the circle = 2*π*(30.1)</em>

<em> The circumference of the circle = </em><em>60.2π</em>

Therefore, the distance the planet Neptune travels in a single orbit around the Sun is <em>60.2π </em><em>AU.</em>

The length of a wire 2.00 m is measured as 2.02m. What is the percentage error in the measurement?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

1%

Explanation:

Percent error can be found by dividing the absolute error (difference between measure and actual value) by the actual value, then multiplying by 100.

Percent Error=\frac{V_{measured}- V_{true} } {V_{true}} *100

The measured value is 2.02 meters and the actual value is 2.00 meters.

V_{measured}=2.02\\\\V_{true}=2.00

Percent Error=\frac{2.02-2.00}{2.00} *100

First, evaluate the fraction. Subtract 2.00 from 2.02

Percent Error=\frac{0.02}{2.00}*100

Next, divide 0.02 by 2.00

PercentError=0.01 *100

Finally, multiply 0.01 and 100.

Percent  Error=1\\Percent  Error= 1 \%

The percent error is 1%.
