Answer : The disadvantage of using hydropower is Land can be flooded, displacing people and wildlife

Explanation :

Hydropower is a renewable source of energy. In hydropower, electricity is generated using the mechanical energy of moving water.

Since the kinetic energy is necessary to move the turbines, it is essential that the hydropower plant is present near a water source which has moving water.

It is the most efficient way of harnessing the energy from naturally available energy sources. It does not produce any waste. It does not pollute water or air.

Since hydropower needs kinetic energy of moving water, there is always a possibility of nearby land getting flooded. This would affect the people and wildlife of nearby areas.

Therefore the disadvantage of using hydropower is that land can be flooded, displacing people and wildlife

Barry Bonds swings a bat which has a mass of 1.5 kg at a velocity of 55 m/s. How many joules of kinetic energy could he give to

larisa86 [58]

KE = mv2

KE = ? J
m = 1.5 kg
v = 55 m/s
KE = 1.5 kg x (55 m/s)2

Genrish500 [490]

Answer is: concentration of ammonium ions are 7,14·10⁻¹⁴ M.
Chemical reaction: 2NH₃(l) → NH₄⁺(am) + NH₂⁻(am).
Kam = 5,1·10⁻²⁷.
[NH₄⁺] · [NH₂⁻] = x; equilibrium concentration of cations and anions.
Kam = [NH₄⁺] · [NH₂⁻].
Kam = x².
x = [NH₄⁺] = √5,1·10⁻²⁷.
[NH₄⁺] = 7,14·10⁻¹⁴ M.

If the frequency of a radio station is 88.1 MHz (8.81 × 107 Hz), what is the wavelength of the wave used by this radio station f

Grace [21]

Hello!

If the frequency of a radio station is 88.1 MHz, the wavelength of the wave used by this radio station for its broadcast is 3.403 m

We are going to use the following equation that shows the relation of the frequency of a wave with its wavelength, knowing that radio waves are electromagnetic waves and they travel at the speed of light (299 792 458 m/s):

$Wavelength=\frac{Speed_{Light}}{Frequency}= \frac{299 792 458 m/s}{8.81*10^{7} Hz}=3.402865\approx3.403 m$

Have a nice day!
