The correct answer to the question is : B) Generator.

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.

All the power plants like thermal power plant, nuclear power plant and hydroelectric power plant use the same concept to produce electric energy.

Let us consider hydro power plant.

In hydro power plant, the water falling with high speed is allowed to fall on a turbine. The kinetic energy of the water rotates the turbine. The turbine is attached to a generator.

The coil of wire attached to it is rotated through a magnetic field and electricity is produced due to electromagnetic induction.

Hence, the correct answer to the question is generator which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

What is the force of gravity (from the Earth) on the 700kg satellite if it’s 10km above the Earths surface?

joja [24]

Answer:

The force of gravity on a 700 kg satellite if its 10 km above Earth's surface is given by

= ${\frac{(6.674\times 10^{-11}N. m^2/kg^2)(5.97\times 10^{24}kg) }{(10\times10^3)^2}$ = 3984378 m / $s^{2}$

A punter drops a 2.0 kg ball from rest vertically 1 meter down onto his foot. The ball leaves the foot with a speed of 18 m/s at

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of drop $m=2 kg$

height of fall $h=1 m$

ball leaves the foot with a speed of 18 m/s at an angle of $55^{\circ}$

Velocity of ball just before the collision with the floor

$u^=2gh$

$u=\sqrt{2gh}$

$u=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1}=4.42 m/s$

Impulse delivered in Y direction

$J_y=m(v\sin (55)-(-u))$

$J_y=2(18\sin (55)+4.42)$

$J_y=38.32 kg-m/s$

Impulse in x direction

$J_x=m\times v\cos (55)$

$J_x=2\times 4.42\cos (55)=20.646$

$J_{net}=\sqrt{J_x^2+J_y^2}$

$J_{net}=\sqrt{(38.32)^2+(20.64)^2}$

$J_{net}=43.52 kg-m/s$

at an angle of $\tan \phi =\frac{J_y}{J_x}=\frac{38.32}{20.64}$

$\phi =tan^{-1}(1.856)$

$\phi =61.7^{\circ}$
