Water near the dam's intake pipes has the weight of all the water above pressing down on it, so the water is forced into the intake pipes.Determine which of the following are true. The higher the water level in the reservoir the greater the kinetic energy of the water flowing down the intake pipesThe higher the water level in the reservoir the greater the speed of the water flowing in the intake pipesThe reservoir water level makes no difference to the kinetic energy of the water in the intake pipesThe higher the water level in the reservoir the lower the kinetic energy of the water flowing in the intake pipes

Question 2SavedSelect the option that best completes the following sentence. If the Three Gorges Dam's reservoir was not constantly replenished from upstream its level would fall as power was generated. A low water level in the reservoir indicates:increased potential energydecreased potential energyincreased kinetic energydecreased kinetic energy

Water behind a dam has a certain amount of stored energy that can be released as the water falls over the top of the dam. It may be enough energy to turn a mill wheel or an electricity-generating turbine. Choose the term that best describes the type of energy stored in the water at the top of the dam.Group of answer choicesChemicalPotentialKineticRadiant

Water is pumped through an inclined pipe. The pressure, velocity, and datum at the pipe inlet are 10 bar, 17 m/s, and 0 m, respectively. The pressure, velocity, and datum at the pipe outlet are 5 bar, 21 m/s, and 4 m, respectively. Assuming g=10 m/s2 for convenience, determine the change in the Bernoulli head in m for this section of the pipe. The kinetic energy correction factors may be approximated as 1.0 for simplicity.

Two children stand on a platform at the top of a curving slide next to a backyard swimming pool. At the same moment the smaller child hops off to jump straight down into the pool, the bigger child releases herself at the top of the frictionless slide.(i) Upon reaching the water, how does the kinetic energy of the smaller child compare with that of the larger child?It is greater.It is less.    The two energies are equal.(ii) Upon reaching the water, how does the speed of the smaller child compare with that of the larger child is?It is greater.It is less.    The two speeds are equal.(iii) During their motions from the platform to the water, how does the average acceleration of the smaller child compare with that of the larger child?It is greater.It is less.    The two accelerations are equal.
