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

THE RELATIVE ANGLE AT THE KNEE CHANGES FROM 0O TO 85O DURING THE KNEE FLEXION PHASE OF A SQUAT EXERCISE. IF 10 COMPLETE SQUATS A
Mice21 [21]

Answer: angular distance = 1700° and 29.7 rad

      also the angular displacement = 0

Explanation:

To explain this, i will give a breakdown of this works.

we are asked to find both the angular distance and displacement the knee undergo.

Ok to get the distance of the knee, we would first take note that for one to squat down and get back up, the knee would travel through 85° of flexion to gpo down, and also through another 85° of extension to return standing (upright). So, the actual angular distance of the squat is 170°.

taking ten squats, the knee would have to go through 170° motion times 10 i.e;

10 * 170° = 1700°

Therefore the angulaar distance is 1700°

now converting this distance to radians since we will be required to have our answer in both degree and rad.

Given that 2pi = 360°, it means that one degree will give 57.3°;

∅ (rad) = ∅ (deg) * 2π/360°

∅ (rad) = 1170° * 2π/360°  = 29.7 rad

∅ (rad) = 29.7 rad

b. For the other part, let us remember that angular displacement is equal to angular distance divided by time, so the angular displacement displacement of the knee will be zero, because the knee's position at the final third will be the same as the initial position.

cheers i hope this helps!!!!

Derive an expression for the gravitational potential energy of a system consisting of Earth and a brick of mass m placed at Eart
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of a system is -3/2 (GmE)(m)/RE

Explanation:

Given

mE = Mass of Earth

RE = Radius of Earth

G = Gravitational Constant

Let p = The mass density of the earth is

p = M/(4/3πRE³)

p = 3M/4πRE³

Taking for instance,a very thin spherical shell in the earth;

Let r = radius

dr = thickness

Its volume is given by;

dV = 4πr²dr

Since mass = density* volume;

It's mass would be

dm = p * 4πr²dr

The gravitational potential at the center due would equal;

dV = -Gdm/r

Substitute (p * 4πr²dr) for dm

dV = -G(p * 4πr²dr)/r

dV = -G(p * 4πrdr)

The gravitational potential at the center of the earth would equal;

V = ∫dV

V = ∫ -G(p * 4πrdr) {RE,0}

V = -4πGp∫rdr {RE,0}

V = -4πGp (r²/2) {RE,0}

V = -4πGp{RE²/2)

V = -4Gπ * 3M/4πRE³ * RE²/2

V = -3/2 GmE/RE

The gravitational potential energy of the system of the earth and the brick at the center equals

U = Vm

U = -3/2 GmE/RE * m

U = -3/2 (GmE)(m)/RE

A distance of 2.00 mm separates two objects of equal mass. If the gravitational force between them is 0.0104 N, find the mass of
aleksklad [387]

Given the distance r = 2/1000 m, the force between them F = 0.0104 N, the mass of the two object can be calculated using formula:

F = G(m1m2)/r^2 since the mass are equal F = G (m^2)/r^2

And where G = is the gravitational constant (6.67E-11 m3 s-2 kg-1)

The mass of the two objects are 24.96 kg

Urban cities like Atlanta have to contend with a serious problem like pollution. Drivers in California are testing out a car tha
riadik2000 [5.3K]

1. With this statement, the author is referring to the fact that the vehicles are one of the largest polluters of the air. In order to reduce the pollution, the vehicles that are used will need to be changed, and with it the pollution will decrease significantly. The reduction of the pollution will come because the vehicles on hydrogen will not cause any pollution, so the enormous amounts of carbon dioxide released from the combustion of the engines will be thing of the past.

2. There are several challenges with this type of vehicles in order for them to replace the fossil fuel driven ones. The big price is one of the factors, as the majority of the people can not afford these cars. Another problem is that these vehicles are not as fast as the fossil fuel driven ones, and lot of people enjoy fast driving, despite it not being safe. There are millions of vehicles out there on the roads, and changing all of them with hydrogen vehicles will take a lot of time, as lot of those vehicles are new ones, so the people will not be willing to just throw them away and leave them rot in their garages. In order for the change of the driving park to be accomplished, the prices should go down, the people to be more serious about the environment and its protection, and patience as several decades will probably be needed for a change like this to be competed.

3. The fuel celled cars are a viable answer to decrease the pollution, as they are not causing any pollution, but instead will stop the process of large emissions of carbon dioxide from the fossil fueled cars. While this method is a good one, it should not be the only, as on its own it can not have the desirable effect, but instead all the major polluters should be included in the process. The industry and the production of energy are one of the major polluters as well, so they will need to follow the example, as if they not, the problem will stay, considering that the industry is constantly growing and the demand for energy is constantly growing too.

Astronomers have discovered a new planet called "Xandar" beyond the orbit of Pluto (No, not really but I need a fake planet for
Burka [1]

Answer:

m = 1.82E+23 kg

Explanation:

G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67E-11 N·m²/kg²

r = radius of orbit = 72,600 km = 7.26E+07 m

C = circumference of orbit = 2πr = 4.56E+08 m

P = period of orbit = 12.9 d = 1,114,560 s

v = orbital velocity of satellite Jim = C/P = 409 m/s

m = mass of Xandar = to be determined

v = √(Gm/r)

v² = [√(Gm/r)]²

v² = Gm/r

rv² = Gm

rv²/G = m

m = rv²/G

mG = universal gravitational constant = 6.67E-11 N·m²/kg²

r = radius of orbit = 72,600 km = 7.26E+07 m

C = circumference of orbit = 2πr = 4.56E+08 m

P = period of orbit = 12.9 d = 1,114,560 s

v = orbital velocity of satellite Jim = C/P = 409 m/s

m = mass of Xandar = to be determined

v = √(Gm/r)

v² = [√(Gm/r)]²

v² = Gm/r

rv² = Gm

rv²/G = m

m = rv²/G

m = 1.82E+23 kg
