Water falls down a

500.0 \mathrm{~m}

shaft to reach a turbine which generates electricity. How much water must fall per second in order to generate

1.00 \times 10^9 \mathrm{~W}

of power?

(Assume 50% efficiency of conversion and

g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}

)

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

400 \mathrm{~m}^3

Option B (

400 \mathrm{~m}^3

) is correct because it's the volume of water required per second to generate the specified power, considering the efficiency of conversion.

A ball throwing cannon, lifts ball and throws with

72 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}

Speed. If balls are raised upto

10 \mathrm{~m}

. then find Input power of cannon if it lifts 8 balls per minute and its efficiency is

80 \%

. Mass of each ball is

1 \mathrm{~kg}

. Assertion:When a particle moves in a circle with a uniform speed its acceleration is constant but the velocity changes.
Reason: Angular displacement is not an axial vector. A body of mass

m

thrown vertically upwards attains a maximum height

h

. As what height will its kinetic energy be

75 \%

of its initial value? Assertion: Centripetal force does no work.

Reason: Force and displacement are perpendicular to each other. Statement I: Both stretched and compressed springs possess potential energy.

Statement II: Work done against restoring force is stored as potential energy. A bullet of mass

m

moving at a speed

v

hits a ball of mass

M

kept at rest. A small part having mass

m^{\prime}

breaks from the ball and sticks to the bullet. The remaining ball is found to move at a speed

v_1

in the direction of the bullet. Find the velocity of the bullet after the collision.
