Wind<span> power holds great promise for the united states because of the great wind power (capacity), and experts believe wind energy could meet as much as 20 percent of the nation’s energy needs . Texas is the state with most wind capacity. On the second place is Iowa and oh the third place Oklahoma. The wind farms produce clean energy that does not harm the environment.</span>

the video identifies the force pair produced when an apple falls through the air. which force belongs in a free-body diagram of
trapecia [35]

The free-body diagram of an apple falling through the air has weight of the apple pointing downwards and the air-resistance on the apple acting upwards.

When an object falls from up to the ground, the object falls under in the influence of acceleration due to gravity.

The vertical component of the force on the apple as it falls trough the air is given as;

∑Fy = 0

Fₙ - W = 0

Fₙ = W

where;

  • <em>Fₙ is the frictional force on the apple acting upwards</em>
  • <em>W is the weight of the apple acting downwards</em>

The free-body diagram of the apple is represented as follows;

                                         ↑ Fₙ

                                         Ο

                                         ↓ W

Thus, the free-body diagram of an apple falling through the air has weight of the apple pointing downwards and the air-resistance on the apple acting upwards.

A ski gondola is connected to the top of a hill by a steel cable of length 620 m and diameter 1.5 cm. As the gondola comes to th
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

(a) 89 m/s

(b) 11000 N

Explanation:

Note that answers are given to 2 significant figures which is what we have in the values in the question.

(a) Speed is given by the ratio of distance to time. In the question, the time given was the time it took the pulse to travel the length of the cable twice. Thus, the distance travelled is twice the length of the cable.

v=\dfrac{2\times 620 \text{ m}}{14\text{ s}} = \dfrac{1240\text{ m}}{14\text{ s}}=88.571428\ldots \text{ m/s}= 89\text{ m/s}

(b) The tension, T, is given by

v =\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}

where v is the speed, T is the tension and \mu is the mass per unit length.

Hence,

T = \mu\cdot v^{2}

To determine \mu, we need to know the mass of the cable. We use the density formula:

\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}

where m is the mass and V is the volume.

m=\rho\cdot V

If the length is denoted by l, then

\mu = \dfrac{m}{l} = \dfrac{\rho\cdot V}{l}

T = \dfrac{\rho\cdot V}{l} v^{2}

The density of steel = 8050 kg/m3

The cable is approximately a cylinder with diameter 1.5 cm and length or height of 620 m. Its volume is

V = \pi \dfrac{d^{2}}{4} l

T = \dfrac{\rho\cdot\pi d^2 l}{4l}v^2 = \dfrac{\rho\cdot\pi d^2}{4}v^2

T = \dfrac{8050\times\pi\times0.015^2}{4} \times 88.57^2

T = 11159.4186\ldots \text{ N} = 11000 \text{ N}
