In a hydroelectric dam, water falls 30.0 mm and then spins a turbine to generate electricity.
You may want to review (Pages 234 - 238) .
What is ΔUΔUDeltaU of 1.0 kg of water?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
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 51.0 MWMW of electricity? This is a typical value for a small hydroelectric dam.
Express your answer using three decimal places.
A typical desktop personal computer uses around 100 W of power when carrying out intensive processing, such as running a video game. If you play such a game for 90 minutes, how much energy (in joules) will it use?
Suppose that your refrigerator consumes 150 W of power. If the cost of electricity is $0.15 per kWꞏh, whatis the cost of providing power for your refrigerator for one year?
