Answer:

1340.2MW

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem follow the steps below!

1 finds the maximum maximum power, using the hydraulic power equation which is the product of the flow rate by height by the specific weight of fluid

W=αhQ

α=specific weight for water =9.81KN/m^3

h=height=220m

Q=flow=690m^3/s

W=(690)(220)(9.81)=1489158Kw=1489.16MW

2. Taking into account that the generator has a 90% efficiency, Find the real power by multiplying the ideal power by the efficiency of the electric generator

Wr=(0.9)(1489.16MW)=1340.2MW

the maximum possible electric power output is 1340.2MW

Mnenie [13.5K]
By definition, the kinetic energy is given by:
 K = (1/2) * m * v ^ 2
 where
 m = mass
 v = speed
 We must then find the speed of both objects:
 blue puck
 v = root ((0) ^ 2 + (- 3) ^ 2) = 3
 gold puck
 v = root ((12) ^ 2 + (- 5) ^ 2) = 13
 Then, the kinetic energy of the system will be:
 K = (1/2) * m1 * v1 ^ 2 + (1/2) * m2 * v2 ^ 2
 K = (1/2) * (4) * (3 ^ 2) + (1/2) * (6) * (13 ^ 2)

A mass of 0.4 kg hangs motionless from a vertical spring whose length is 0.76 m and whose unstretched length is 0.41 m. Next the
Blizzard [7]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 1.256 m

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

We can start by finding the spring constant  

F = k*y  

Therefore;  k = F/y = m*g/y

                               = 0.40kg*9.8m/s^2/(0.76 - 0.41)

                               = 11.2 N/m  

Energy is conserved  

Let A be the maximum displacement  

Therefore;  1/2*k*A^2 = 1/2*k*(1.20 - 0.41)^2 + 1/2*m*v^2  

Thus;  A = sqrt((1.20 - 0.55)^2 + m/k*v^2)

               = sqrt((1.20 -0.55)^2 + 0.40/9.8*1.6^2)

                = 0.846 m  

Thus; the length will be 0.41 + 0.846  = 1.256 m

A projectile has an initial horizontal velocity of 15 meters per second and an initial vertical velocity of 25 meters per second
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

75 m

Explanation:

The horizontal motion of the projectile is a uniform motion with constant speed, since there are no forces acting along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the horizontal acceleration is zero.

The horizontal component of the velocity of the projectile is

v_x = 15 m/s

and it is constant during the motion;

the total time of flight is

t = 5 s

Therefore, we can apply the formula of the uniform motion to find the horizontal displacement of the projectile:

d= v_x t =(15 m/s)(5 s)=75 m
