Answer:

a. the same speed as the wave energy

Explanation:

Wave packet is only an envelope of a more localized wave. The entire wave is a combination of the discrete wave packets.

Wave is any disturbance that travels across space. A wave does not carry the particles of the medium in which travels. It carries energy from one point to another as it travels.

For an electromagnetic wave, the energy of the wave is due to the vibrations of the electric and magnetic fields of the wave. For sound waves, wave energy is the vibrations or disturbance of the particles of the medium in which the sound wave travels.

This problem follows up on a discussion from lecture. A wind turbine with an efficiency of 45% for converting wind energy into e

Volgvan

Answer:

4.1 m

Explanation:

10 kW = 10000 W

20mi/h = 20*1.6 km/mi = 32 km/h = 32 * 1000 (m/km) *(1/3600) hr/s = 8.89 m/s

The power yielded by the wind turbine can be calculated using the following formula

$P = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^3 A C_p$

where $\rho = 1.2 kg/m^3$ is the air density, v = 8.89 m/s is the wind speed, A is the swept area and $C_p = 0.45$ is the efficiency

$10000 = 0.5 * 1.2 * 8.89^3 * A * 0.45$

$10000 = 190A$

$A = 10000 / 190 = 52.7 m^2$

The swept area is a circle with radius r being the blade length

$\pi r^2 = A = 52.7$

$r^2 = 52.7 / \pi = 16.79$

$r = \sqrt{16.79} = 4.1 m$

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: 8400 J

Explanation:

The formula referenced in the question is:

$Q=m. c. \Delta T$

Where:

$Q$ is the thermal energy

$m=100g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.1 kg$ is the mass of the water sample

$c=4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C}$ is the specific heat capacity of water

$\Delta T=20\°C$ is the variation in temperature

Solving:

$Q=(0.1 kg)(4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C})(20\°C)$

$Q=8400 J$ This is the thermal energy released

The haystack maker tractor lifted 120 kg of grass to a height of 5 meters in 6 seconds. Calculate the power of the haystack make

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

1000 Joules per second.

Explanation:

To lift that much grass 5 meters higher than it was before the tractor did work that is the product of the (force needed to overdo gravity) and (displacement):

$W = mg\Delta h=120kg\cdot 10\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot 5m = 6000J$

Power is work over the amount of time:

$P = \frac{W}{\Delta t}=\frac{6000J}{6 s} = 1000 \frac{J}{s}$
