Answer

Given data:

height of the dam = 15 m

effective area for water flow = 2.3 x 10⁻³ m²

Applying the principle of energy conservation:

m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v= \sqrt{2gh}

v= \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 15}

v= \sqrt{294}

v = 17.15 m/s

water discharge

Q = A V

Q = 2.3 x 10⁻³ x 17.15

Q = 0.039 m³/s

A ski lift is used to transport people from the base of a hill to the top. If the lift leaves the base at a velocity of 15.5 m/s
Yuliya22 [3333]
This can be determined using the principle of energy conservation. The ski lift begins with a velocity of v= 15.5 m/s, and all of its kinetic energy Ek converts into potential energy Ep, thus we set Ep equal to Ek.
Because Ek is given by (1/2)*m*v², where m denotes mass and v represents speed, while Ep equals m*g*h, where m is mass, g is 9.81 m/s², and h is height. Now:

Ek=Ep 

(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, canceling out the mass,

(1/2)*v²=g*h, rearranging for height by dividing by g,

(1/2*g)*v²=h and substituting the values:

h=12.245 m. The hill's height rounded to the nearest tenth is h=12.25 m.

A Federation starship (8.5 ✕ 106 kg) uses its tractor beam to pull a shuttlecraft (1.0 ✕ 104 kg) aboard from a distance of 14 km
Keith_Richards [3271]
Consider the diagram below.

m₁ = 8.5 x 10⁶ kg, the starship's mass
m₂ = 10⁴ kg, the shuttlecraft's mass
a₁ =  acceleration of the starship
a₂ = the acceleration of the shuttle
F = 4 x 10⁴ N, the force exerted

Let y represent the distance covered by the starship
Let x denote the distance covered by the shuttlecraft
If t indicates the travel time, then
y = 0.5a₁t²                  (1)
x = 0.5a₂t²                  (2)

F = m₁a₁ = m₂a₂         (3)
Additionally,
x + y = 14000 m          (4)

From (2), we derive
a₁ = (4 x 10⁴ N)/(8.5 x 10⁶ kg) = 4.706 x 10⁻³ m/s²
a₂ = (4 x 10⁴ N)/(10⁴ kg) = 4 m/s²

From (1), (2) and (4), we find
0.5*(t s)²*(4 + 4.706 x 10⁻³ m/s²) = 14000 m
2.002353t² = 14000
t² = 6991.774 s²
t = 83.617 s

Thus
x = 0.5*4*6991.774 = 13984 m = 13.984 km
y = 0.5*4.706 x 10⁻³*6991.774 = 16.452 m

The starship moves roughly 16.5 meters while towing the shuttlecraft by 13.98 kilometers.

Result: The starship shifts by 16.5 m (to the nearest tenth)

Jeff puts on a leather jacket over his sweater. The sweater becomes negatively charged. Which statements about Jeff’s situation
Sav [3153]

The following statements hold true
(i) The leather jacket is less likely to attract electrons than the sweater.
When the sweater and the leather jacket come into contact, the leather jacket loses electrons and becomes positively charged, while the sweater gains electrons and thus becomes negatively charged.
Opposite charges attract, meaning the sweater (which is negatively charged) will pull in protons (which are positively charged). The leather jacket (positively charged) will in turn attract electrons (which are negatively charged).
