The Hoover dam is a hydroelectric power plant that converts the energy of falling water into electricity. Which of the following determines the amount of potential energy of the water stored in the reservoir of the dam? Choose all that apply.A.the electric potential energy of the water. B. the weight of the water C.the height of the water D. The temperature of the water (I think it's A and C but I'm not sure)

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer to the question is : B) The weight of the water, and C) The height of the water.

EXPLANATION :

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand potential energy of a body.

The potential energy of a body due to its position from ground is known as gravitational potential energy.

The gravitational potential energy is calculated as -

                      Potential energy P.E = mgh

 Here, m is the mass of the body, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

h stands for the height of the body from the ground.

We know that weight of a body is equal to the product of mass with acceleration due to gravity.

Hence, weight W = mg

Hence, potential energy is written as P.E = weight × height.

Hence, potential energy depends on the weight and height of the water.
Answer 2
Answer: Answer would be: B & C
Potential energy = weight * height

Hope this helps!

A ball is thrown directly downward with an initial speed of 8.00 m/s, from a height of 30.0 m. After what time interval does it strike the ground?

Answers

We can use the equation of motion:
s = ut + 1/2 x at²
Both the velocity and acceleration are downwards so we'll consider the downward direction positive
30 = 8t + 4.91t²
4.91t² + 8t - 30 = 0
Solving the quadratic:
t = 1.79 s; t = -3.42 s
Negative time is not possible so second value discarded. Time taken = 1.79 seconds

b. potentiometer
c. voltmeter
d. galvonmeter

Answers

The device used to measure a potential difference in a circuit is called a voltmeter. The correct option is c.

What is a voltmeter?

The tool used to measure the potential difference between two locations in an electric circuit is called a voltmeter. A voltage meter usually referred to as a voltmeter, is a device that measures the voltage, or potential difference, between two points in an electrical or electronic circuit.

Both of these devices are employed in electric circuits, however, the voltmeter is primarily used to measure the voltage or emf across two points in an electric circuit, whilst the ammeter is mostly used to measure the flow of current.

Depending on the measurement, voltmeters are divided into two categories: DC voltmeters and AC voltmeters.

Therefore, the correct option is c. voltmeter.

what can accurately be said about a resultant wave that displays both reinforcement and interference?

Answers

As the frequency of the waves increases, a greater number of wavelengths pass a given point per second. From the wave formula, we see that there is an indirect relationship between frequency and the wavelength. thus, as the frequency increases the wavelength decreases resulting to a smaller distance between the waves which will show greater number of wavelengths between waves.
