In a small dam, water flows at a rate of 2500 kg/s and falls 30
m. After calculating the power wasted by the waterfall, how many 75
W light bulbs can be lit by this power?
A)7350 bulbs
B)75000 bulbs
C)9800 bulbs
D)2940 bulbs
Solution:
Power generated by the system = Mgh = 2500 x 9.8 x 30 watts
Now power of 1 bulb 75 watt
So number of bulbs illuminated = 2500 x 9.8 x 30 / 75 = 9800

Water flows over a section of Niagara Falls at the rate of 14.0 106 kg/s and falls 52 m. How much power is generated by the falling water?____MW
25. In a hydroelectric dam, water falls 25 m and then spins a turbine to generate electricity. a) What is U, of 1.0 kg of water? b) Suppose the dam is 80% efficient at converting the water's potential energy to electrical energy. How many kilograms of water must pass through the turbines each second to generate 50 MW of electricity? This is a typical value for a small hydroelectric dam.
A dam collects water at a height of 300m. The water can be let down through a pipe. As it falls to the ground it loses potential energy but it gains kinetic energy. 100 tonnes (note 1 tonne 1000 kg) of water are let out from the dam and reach the ground, 300m below; all the gained kinetic energy is then harnessed by a perfectly efficient turbine and converted into energy to power houses in the valley. The Bureau of...
water 248 m 945 ml 2 Water Pipe GENERATOR TURBINE 1) A dam in somewhere with a height of 248 m, is one of the tallest dam in the world. Water flows with a volumetric flow rate of 65 m'ls to a turbine, where electric power is generated. The total irreversible head los in the piping system from point 1 to point 2 (excluding the turbine unit) is determined to be 95 m. The pressure difference due to elevation cannot...
Water flows over Victoria Falls, which is 128 m high, at an average rate of 1.39 × 106 kg/s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . If half the potential energy of this water were converted into electric energy, how much power would be produced by these falls? Answer in units of MW.
the rate at which water falls over a dan (height , h) is M kg/s. what is the power of the falling water at the bottom?
Approximately 2.1 x 105 kg of water falls 14 m over a waterfall each second. (a) What is the decrease in the gravitational potential energy of the water-Earth system each second? (b) If all this energy could be converted to electrical energy (it cannot be), at what rate would electrical energy be supplied? (The mass of 1 m3 of water is 1000 kg.) (c) If the electrical energy were sold at 1.7 cent/kW·h, what would be the yearly income in...
