Think of a hydropower dam . How is electrical energy produced from potential and kinetic energy ?
hydroelectric dam converts the potential energy stored in a water reservoir behind a dam to mechanical energy—mechanical energy is also known as kinetic energy. ... The generator converts the turbine's mechanical energy into electricity.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Potential energy and kinetic energy are constituents of mechanical energy.
When a turbine is switched on, it rotates with mechanical energy.
Since a motor runs the turbine, it converts this mechanical energy to electrical energy.

If the girl skater has a mass of 30 kg and moves backward at 5 m/s, what is the velocity or the boy skater
his mass is 50 kg?
Question: Two people stand facing each other at a roller-skating rink then push off each other. If the girl skater has a mass of 30 kg and moves backward at 5 m/s, what is the velocity of the boy skater if his mass is 50 kg?
Answer:
3 m/s
Explanation:
Applying,
The Law of conservation of momentum
Momentum of the girl skater = momentum of the boy skater
MV = mv...................... Equation 1
Where M = mass of the girl skater, V = velocity of the girl skater, m = mass of the boy skater, v = velocity of the boy skater
From the question, we were asked to calculate v
v = MV/m.................. Equation 1
Given: M = 30 kg, V = 5 m/s, m = 50 kg
Substitute these values into equation 1
v = (30×5)/50
v = 3 m/s
Hence the velocity of the the boy skater is 3m/s

A skater spins with an angular speed of 5.9 rad/s with her arms outstretched. She lowers her arms, decreasing her moment of inertia by a factor of 1.7. Ignoring friction on the skates, determine the ratio of her final kinetic energy to her initial kinetic energy.
Answer:
the ratio of her final kinetic energy to her initial kinetic energy is 1.7.
Explanation:
Given;
initial angular speed, ω₁ = 5.9 rad/s
let her initial moment of inertia = I₁
her final moment of inertia [tex]I_2 = \frac{I_1}{1.7}[/tex]
Apply the principle of conservation of angular momentum to determine the final angular speed of the girl;
[tex]\omega_1I_1 = \omega_f I_2\\\\\omega_f = \frac{\omega _1 I_1}{I_2} \\\\\omega_f = \frac{5.9 \times I_1}{I_1/1.7} \\\\\omega = 5.9 \times 1.7 \\\\\omega_f = 10.03 \ rad/s[/tex]
The initial rotational kinetic energy is given as;
[tex]K.E_I = \frac{1}{2}I_1 \omega_I ^2[/tex]
The final rotational kinetic energy is given as;
[tex]K.E_f = \frac{1}{2}I_2 \omega_f ^2[/tex]
The ratio of her final kinetic energy to her initial kinetic energy is given as;
[tex]\frac{K.E_f}{K.E_I}= \frac{\frac{1}{2}I_2 \omega_f^2 }{\frac{1}{2} I_1\omega _1^2} \\\\\frac{K.E_f}{K.E_I}= \frac{I_2 \omega_f^2}{ I_1\omega _1^2} \\\\\frac{K.E_f}{K.E_I}= \frac{I_1/1.7 \times \omega_f^2}{ I_1 \times \omega _1^2} \\\\\frac{K.E_f}{K.E_I}= \frac{ \omega_f^2}{ 1.7 \omega _1^2} \\\\\frac{K.E_f}{K.E_I}= \frac{ (10.03)^2}{ 1.7(5.9)^2} = \frac{17}{10} = 1.7[/tex]
Therefore, the ratio of her final kinetic energy to her initial kinetic energy is 1.7.

g A high-speed flywheel in a motor is spinning at 500 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 39.0kg and diameter 78.0cm. The power is off for 34.0s, and during this time the flywheel slows due to friction in its axle bearings. During the time the power is off, the flywheel makes 170 complete revolutions.At what rate is the flywheel spinning when the power comes back on?
Answer:
[tex]10.54\ \text{rad/s}[/tex]
Explanation:
[tex]\omega_i[/tex] = Initial angular velocity = 500 rpm = [tex]500\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}\ \text{rad/s}[/tex]
[tex]\omega_f[/tex] = Final angular velocity
t = Time = 34 s
[tex]\theta[/tex] = Angular displacement = 170 revs = [tex]170\times 2\pi\ \text{rad}[/tex]
[tex]\alpha[/tex] = Angulr acceleration
From the kinematic equations of angular motion we have
[tex]\theta=\omega_it+\dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\theta-\omega_it}{\dfrac{1}{2}t^2}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{170\times 2\pi-500\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}\times 34}{\dfrac{1}{2}\times 34^2}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-1.23\ \text{rad/s}^2[/tex]
[tex]\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=500\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}+(-1.23)\times 34\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=10.54\ \text{rad/s}[/tex]
The rate at which the wheel is spinning when the power comes back on is [tex]10.54\ \text{rad/s}[/tex].

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
A particle is directed along the axis of the instrument in the figure below. A parallel plate capacitor sets up an electric field E, which is oriented perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B. If the plates are separated by d = 2.0 mm and the value of the magnetic field is B = 0.60T.
Calculate the potential difference, between the capacitor plates, required to allow a particle with speed v = 5.0 × 10⁵ m/s to pass straight through without deflection.
Hint : ΔV = Ed
Answer:
the required potential difference, between the capacitor plates is 600 V
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
B = 0.60 T
d = 2.0 mm = 0.002 m
v = 5.0 × 10⁵ m/s.
since particle pass straight through without deflection.
F[tex]_{net[/tex] = 0
so, F[tex]_E[/tex] = F[tex]_B[/tex]
qE = qvB
divide both sides by q
E = vB
we substitute
E = (5.0 × 10⁵) × 0.6
E = 300000 N/C
given that; potential difference ΔV = Ed
we substitute
ΔV = 300000 × 0.002
ΔV = 600 V
Therefore, the required potential difference, between the capacitor plates is 600 V

Transverse thrusters are used to make large ships fully maneuverable at low speeds without tugboat assistance. A transverse thruster consists of a propeller mounted in a duct; the unit is then mounted below the waterline in the bow or stern of the ship. The duct runs completely across the ship. Calculate the thrust developed by a 1900 kW unit supplied to the propeller if the duct is 2.6 m in diameter and the ship is stationary.
Answer:
Thrust developed = 212.3373 kN
Explanation:
Assuming the ship is stationary
Determine the Thrust developed
power supplied to the propeller ( Punit ) = 1900 KW
Duct distance ( diameter ; D ) = 2.6 m
first step : calculate the area of the duct
A = π/4 * D^2
= π/4 * ( 2.6)^2 = 5.3092 m^2
next : calculate the velocity of propeller
Punit = (A*v*β ) / 2 * V^2 ( assuming β = 999 kg/m^3 ) also given V1 = 0
∴V^3 = Punit * 2 / A*β
= ( 1900 * 10^3 * 2 ) / ( 5.3092 * 999 )
hence V2 = 8.9480 m/s
Finally determine the thrust developed
F = Punit / V2
= (1900 * 10^3) / ( 8.9480)
= 212.3373 kN
1. Objects become electrically charged as a result of the transfer of
Answer:
Electron
Explanation:
An object can become electrically charged when it gains or loses an electron. Because an electron is negatively charged, when an object gains an electron it becomes negatively charged. Also, when it gives up an electron, it becomes positively charged. This positive charge is because the atom has one proton more than electron. In a neutral atom, the number of the proton is equal to the number of the electron. An electron is negatively charged, and a proton is positively charged.
Unpolarized light with intensity 370 W/m2 passes first through a polarizing filter with its axis vertical, then through a second polarizing filter. It emerges from the second filter with intensity 132 W/m2 . You may want to review (Pages 897 - 898) . Part A What is the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter
Answer:
θ = 32.4º
Explanation:
For this exercise let's use Malus's law
I = Io cos² θ
in this case it indicates that the incident intensity is 370 W/m², when the first polarization passes, only the radiation with the same polarization of the polarizer emerges, that is, vertical
I₀ = 370/2 = 185 W / m²
this is the radiation that affects the second polarizer, let's apply the expression of Maluz
θ = cos⁻¹ ([tex]\sqrt{\frac{I}{I_o} }[/tex])
θ = cos⁻¹ ([tex]\sqrt{132/185}[/tex])
θ = cos⁻¹ (0.844697)
θ = 32.4º

Which electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelength?
Which electromagnetic wave would have a wavelength approximately the size of the tip of a pencil?
Which electromagnetic wave has the longest wavelength?
Answer:
shortest - gamma Ray's
size of a pencil tip : most likely microwaves
longest - radio waves
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength whereas Radio waves have the longest wavelength. The wave whose wavelength is about the size of the tip of a pencil is infrared ray.
What is an Electromagnetic spectrum?The whole electromagnetic waves are divided into several classes based on their frequencies or energies as follows, in the order of increasing frequency:
Radio waves
Microwaves
Infrared
Visible
Ultraviolet
X-rays
Gamma rays
The Gamma rays are the shortest wavelength group with frequencies greater than 3 × 10²⁰ Hz.
The Radio waves are the longest wavelength group. Their frequency is lower than 3 × 10⁷ Hz.
The tip of a pencil is about 0.5mm in width.
Calculate the frequency of the wave whose wavelength is about the size of the tip of a pencil i.e. λ = 0.5 mm,
ν = 3×10⁸/(0.5×10⁻³) = 6×10¹¹ Hz.
The infrared rays have frequencies in the range of 3×10¹¹ Hz to 3×10¹³ Hz. So, the wave is infrared.
Infrared waves have a wavelength about the tip of a pencil.

Why don’t the northern and Southern Hemisphere experience summer at the same time?
Answer:
It is because of the tilt of the earth.
Explanation:
the earth is tilted at 23.5 degrees. this makes it so that either the northern or southern hemisphere will be exposed to more rays from the sun. In the areas that are getting more rays from the sun, it gets warmer. Think about it like this, because the earth is tilted, part of it is more in the shade and part of it is more in the light. And its colder in the shade, so thats why seasons happen and why they dont happen at the same time.

A block of weight 1200N is on an incline plane of 30° with the horizontal, a force P is applied to the body parallel to the plane, if the coefficient of the static friction is 0.20 and kinetic friction is 0.15 (1) find the value of P to cause motion up the plane (2) find P to prevent motion down the plane. (3) Find P to cause continuous motion up the plane.
Answer:
a) P = 807.85 N, b) P = 392.15 N, c) P = 444.12 N
Explanation:
For this exercise, let's use Newton's second law, let's set a reference frame with the x-axis parallel to the plane and the direction rising as positive, and the y-axis perpendicular to the plane.
Let's use trigonometry to break down the weight
sin θ = Wₓ / W
cos θ = W_y / W
Wₓ = W sin θ
W_y = W cos θ
Wₓ = 1200 sin 30 = 600 N
W_y = 1200 cos 30 = 1039.23 N
Y axis
N- W_y = 0
N = W_y = 1039.23 N
Remember that the friction force always opposes the movement
a) in this case, the system will begin to move upwards, which is why friction is static
P -Wₓ -fr = 0
P = Wₓ + fr
as the system is moving the friction coefficient is dynamic
fr = μ N
fr = 0.20 1039.23
fr = 207.85 N
we substitute
P = 600+ 207.85
P = 807.85 N
b) to avoid downward movement implies that the system is stopped, therefore the friction coefficient is static
P + fr -Wx = 0
fr = μ N
fr = 0.20 1039.23
fr = 207.85 N
we substitute
P = Wₓ -fr
P = 600 - 207,846
P = 392.15 N
c) as the movement is continuous, the friction coefficient is dynamic
P - Wₓ + fr = 0
P = Wₓ - fr
fr = 0.15 1039.23
fr = 155.88 N
P = 600 - 155.88
P = 444.12 N

As we know that
[tex]v^2 - u^2 = 2aS[/tex]
here v is the final speed i.e 20 m/s
u is the initial speed i.e 5 m/s
a is the acceleration due to gravity i.e 2 m/s^2

You are riding on a carousel that is rotating at a constant 24 rpm. It has an inside radius of 4 ftand outside radius of 12 ft. You begin to run from the inside to the outside along a radius. Your peak velocity with respect to the carousel is 6 mph and occurs at a radius of 8 ft.What are your maximum Coriolis acceleration magnitude and its directionwith respect to the carousel
Answer:
magnitude of the Coriolis acceleration is 44.235 ft/s² and the direction of the acceleration is along the axis of transmission
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Speed of carousel N = 24 rpm
From the diagram below, selected path direction defines the Axis of slip.
Hence, The Coriolis is acting along the axis of transmission
Now, we determine the angular speed ω of the carousel.
ω = 2πN / 60
we substitute in the value of N
ω = (2π × 24) / 60
ω = 2.5133 rad/s
Next, we convert the given velocity from mph to ft/s
we know that; 1 mph = 1.4667 ft/s
so
[tex]V_{slip[/tex] = 6 mph = ( 6 × 1.4667 ) = 8.8002 ft/s
Now, we determine the magnitude of the Coriolis acceleration
[tex]a_c[/tex] = 2( [tex]V_{slip[/tex] × ω )
we substitute
[tex]a_c[/tex] = 2( 8.8002 ft/s × 2.5133 rad/s )
[tex]a_c[/tex] = 44.235 ft/s²
Hence, magnitude of the Coriolis acceleration is 44.235 ft/s² and the direction of the acceleration is along the axis of transmission
