Answer:
5.88×10⁸ W
Explanation:
Power = energy / time
P = mgh / t
P = (m/t) gh
P = (1.2×10⁶ kg/s) (9.8 m/s²) (50.0 m)
P = 5.88×10⁸ W
This question involves the simple concept and formula of Power.
The power generated by the falling water is "5.88 x 10⁸ W".
Power can be defined as the energy applied per unit of time.
[tex]Power = \frac{Energy}{Time}[/tex]
here, the energy is the potential energy, due to the fall of water:
[tex]Power = P = \frac{mgh}{t}[/tex]
where,
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h = height = 50 m
[tex]\frac{m}{t}[/tex] = mass flow rate = 1.2 x 10⁶ kg/s
Therefore,
[tex]P = (1.2\ x\ 10^6\ kg/s)(9.81\ m/s^2)(50\ m)\\[/tex]
P = 5.88 x 10⁸ W
