Answer:
68.2 Quadrillion meters
Explanation:
A lightyear is the distance that light travels in one year.
Speed of light is [tex]3*10^8\ m/s[/tex]
So light covers 300,000,000 meters in one second.
One year has 31536000 seconds so , light covers
[tex]9.461*10^{15}\ meters\ in\ one\ year[/tex]
so 7.2 light years is
[tex]7.2*(9.461*10^{15})\\6.82*10^{16}[/tex]
so 7.2 light years is
6.82 x 10^(16) meters or
68.2 Quadrillion meters
Electric power is to be generated by installing a hydraulic turbine-generator at a site 70 m below the free surface of a large water reservoir that can supply water at a rate of 1500 kg/s steadily. If the mechanical power output of the turbine is 800 kW and the electric power generation is 750 kW, determine the turbine efficiency and the combined turbine–generator efficiency of this plant. Neglect losses in the pipes.
Answer:
[tex]\eta_{turbine} = 0.777 = 77.7\%[/tex]
[tex]\eta_{combined} = 0.728 = 72.8\%[/tex]
Explanation:
First we calculate the power input to the turbine. The input power will be equal to the potential energy of water per unit time:
Input Power = [tex]P_{in} = \frac{Work}{Time} = \frac{Potential\ Energy\ of\ Water}{t} \\P_{in} = \frac{(mass)(g)(height)}{Time} = (mass flow rate)(g)(height)\\\\P_{in} = (1500\ kg/s)(9.81\ m/s^2)(70\ m)\\P_{in} = 1.03\ x\ 10^6\ W = 1030\ KW[/tex]
Now, for turbine efficiency:
[tex]\eta_{turbine} = \frac{Mechanical\ Power\ Out}{P_{in}}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = \frac{800\ KW}{1030\ KW}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = 0.777 = 77.7\%[/tex]
for generator efficiency:
[tex]\eta_{generator} = \frac{Power\ Generation}{Mechanical\ Power\ Out}\\\\ \eta_{generator} = \frac{750\ KW}{800\ KW}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = 0.9375 = 93.75\%[/tex]
Now, for combined efficiency:
[tex]\eta_{combined} = \eta_{turbine}\ \eta_{generator}\\\\\eta_{combined} = (0.777)(0.937)\\\eta_{combined} = 0.728 = 72.8\%[/tex]
An object weighing 49 N is pushed across a floor by a force of 12 N. What is the acceleration of the object?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Weight of object = 49N
Force applied = 12N
Unknown:
Acceleration of object = ?
Solution:
The acceleration of the object is found by dividing the force by the weight;
Acceleration = [tex]\frac{12}{49}[/tex] = 0.25m/s²

what power is transmitted by 2A flowing across 5V
Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{10\:watts}[/tex]
Explanation:
Power = Current × Voltage
P = I × V
P = 2 × 5
P = 10 watts
