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.

A 60 cm diameter wheel accelerates from rest at a rate of 7 rad/s2. After the wheel has undergone 14 rotations, what is the radi

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

$a=368.97\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial angular velocity, $\omega=0$

Acceleration of the wheel, $\alpha =7\ rad/s^2$

Rotation, $\theta=14\ rotation=14\times 2\pi =87.96\ rad$

Let t is the time. Using second equation of kinematics can be calculated using time.

$\theta=\omega_it+\dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\theta}{\alpha }} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 87.96}{7}} \\\\t=5.01\ s$

Let $\omega_f$ is the final angular velocity and a is the radial component of acceleration.

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\\\omega_f=0+7\times 5.01\\\\\omega_f=35.07\ rad/s$

Radial component of acceleration,

$a=\omega_f^2r\\\\a=(35.07)^2\times 0.3\\\\a=368.97\ m/s^2$

So, the required acceleration on the edge of the wheel is $368.97\ m/s^2$ .

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Time = t = 6.62 s

Explanation:

Given data:

Height = h = 215 m

Initial velocity = $v_{i}$ = 0 m/s

gravitational acceleration = g = 9.8 m/s²

Time = t = ?

According to second equation of motion

$h = v_{i}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

As initial velocity is zero, So the first term of right hand side of above equation equal to zero.

$h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

t² = $\frac{2h}{g}$

t = $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }$

t = $\sqrt{\frac{(2)(215) }{9.8} }$

t = 6.62 s

The three branches of science earth and physicals

seropon [69]

<span>Science is always defined as the body of knowledge and linked to something related to the physical world, phenomena and lives of everything that exist on Earth. Science is categorized in various ways. Pure, practical or theoretical, is the largest distinction of science or whether science is applied. Generally, pure science is subdivided into Physical sciences, Earth sciences, and Life sciences. Physical sciences deal with energy and matter, Earth sciences explain Earth’s phenomena, to the solar system where it belongs and its atmosphere. And finally, life sciences describe internal processes of living organisms, its relationship to each other and to its environment.</span>

1)Kenetic Energy is defined as energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. 2)KE) is KE = 0.5 x mv2. Here m stands for mass, the measure of how much matter is in an object, and v stands for the velocity of the object, or the rate at which the object changes its position..

And I hope this helped :)
