<span>The water is held behind a dam, forming reservoir. The force of the water being released from the reservoir through the dam spins the blades of a giant turbine.</span>
The gravitional potential energy, relative to the bottom of the giant drop, in joules, is (9800) times (the height of the drop in meters).
That's the PE of the empty car only, not counting any hapless screaming souls who may be trapped in it at that moment.
Answer:
y = 43.55 + 2.15t
Explanation:
We were told that in 1983, the per capita consumption was 37.1 pounds, and in 1989 it was 50 pounds.
If we assume t = 0 corresponds to year 1980. Then, for 1983 it will be t = 3 and for 1989,it will be t = 9.
Thus, expressing the information as ordered pairs, we have; (3,37. 1) and (9,50).
Let us now find slope of the linear function:
m1 = (y2 - y1)/(t2 - t1)
m1 = (50 - 37.1)/(9 - 3)
m1 = 2.15
So, we can find the linear equation as;
y - 37.1 = 2.15(t - 3)
y = 37.1 + 2.15t - 6.45
y = 43.55 + 2.15t
Answer:
180 m
Explanation:
The rock follows a free-fall motion - so the vertical distance covered can be found by using the equation
where
g = 10 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity
t = 6.00 s is the time of the fall
Substituting these data, we find the height of the cliff:
