All of the following statements are true of hydroelectric power except: a. hydroelectric power stations rely on dams to harness the energy of moving water. b. the water within hydroelectric power stations will transfer energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy. c. hydroelectric power stations can only produce enough energy for a small town as they do not produce large quantities of energy. d. hydroelectric power stations are very reliable source of energy.

Alivestock company reports that the mean weight of a group of young steers is 1100 pounds with a standard deviation of 93 pounds. based on the model n(1100,93) for the weights of steers, what percent of steers weigh a) over 1050 pounds? b) under 1300 pounds? c) between 1150 and 1250 pounds?

Air is held within a frictionless piston-cylinder container, which is oriented vertically. the mass of the piston is 0.45 kg and the cross-sectional area is 0.0030 m2. initially (state 1) the pressure of the gas is sufficient to support the weight of the piston as well as the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure ( 101.32 kpa). the volume occupied by the air within the cylinder in state 1 is 1.00 liter. one end of a spring (with spring constant k = 1000 n/m) is attached to the top of the piston, while the other end of the spring is attached to a stage that can move vertically. initially the spring is undeflected and therefore exerts no force. then the stage is then moved quasistatically downward a distance of 10.0 cm, at which point the system reaches state 2. the piston-cylinder is not insulated; rather it remains in diathermal contact with the surroundings, which are at a constant temperature of 300 k. what is the change of pressure within the container?

If a simple machine reduces the strength of a force, what must be increased?
