The answer is A. Energy from <span>various energy sources, such as wind or from burning fossil fuels, is used to spin the blades of the turbine. The turbine then powers a generator, which produces electricity.

Works on simple principle of the turbine blades translation of energy sources causing the mechanical spin of the blades which is connected to a rotor which spins the main shaft of generator thus producing electricity.</span>

A force (5ỉ - ;)N moves an object from the point P (1,3) m to the point Q (3, 8) m.
natita [175]

Answer:

b) 5 J

Explanation:

Work is the energy transferred by an object when acted by a force along a displacement. Work is the product of force and displacement. The SI unit of work is the joules (J)

To calculate the work done by the force, we have to first get the displacement (D) of the object. Hence:

Displacement (D) = Q(3, 8) - P(1, 3) = (3 - 1, 8 - 3) = (2, 5) = 2i + 5j

The work done is the dot product of the force and the displacement. Force = 5i - j. Hence:

Work done = (5i - j)(2i + 5j) = 10 - 5 = 5 J

A person travels by car from one city to another with different constant speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 35.0 min
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Explanation:

Solution:

Let the time be

t1=35min = 0.58min

t2=10min=0.166min

t3=45min= 0.75min

t4=35min= 0.58min

let the velocities be

v1=100km/h

v2=55km/h

v3=35km/h

a. Determine the average speed for the trip. km/h

first we have to solve for the distance

S=s1+s2+s3

S= v1t1+v2t2+v3t3

S= 100*0.58+55*0.166+35*0.75

S=58+9.13+26.25

S=93.38km

V=S/t1+t2+t3+t4

V=93.38/0.58+0.166+0.75+0.58

V=93.38/2.076

V=44.98km/h

b. the distance is 93.38km

Two billion people jump up in the air at the same time with an average velocity of 7.0 m/sec. If the mass of an average person i
faust18 [17]

Well first of all, you must realize that it depends on how the jumpers are distributed on the earth's surface.  If,say, one billion of them are in the eastern  hemisphere and the other billion are in the western one, then the sum of all of their momenta could easily be zero, and have no effect at all on the planet.  I'm pretty sure what you must have in mind is to consider the Earth to be a block, with a flat upper surface, and all the people jump in the same direction.

average mass per person = 60 kg.
jump velocity = 7 m/s straight up and away from the block, all in the same direction
one person's worth of momentum = (m) (v) = 420 kg.m/s
sum of two billion of them = 8.4 x 10¹¹ kg-m/s all in the same direction

Earth's "recoil" momentum = 8.4 x 10¹¹ in the opposite direction = (m) (v)

Divide each side by 'm' :     v = (momentum) / (mass) =

The Earth's "recoil" velocity is   (8.4 x 10¹¹) / (5.98 x 10²⁴) = 

                                                               1.405 x 10⁻¹³ m/s =

                                              <em> 0.00000000014 millimeter per second

</em>
I have no intuitive feeling for this kind of thing, so can't judge whether
the answer is reasonable.  But my math and physics felt OK on the
way to the solution, so that's my answer and I'm sticking to it.

3) A bird flies toward a tree limb at a 45-degree angle to the ground along a path that is 50 m long landing on the limb. Determ
marin [14]

Answer:

35 m

Explanation:

Given :

The distance of the path from the ground to the tree limb = 50 m

The angle between the path of flight of the bird towards the tree limb and the ground = 45 degrees

Therefore we can determine the height above which the bird perched above the ground by using the rules of the trigonometric ratios as;

We know that ,

$\sin 45^\circ =\frac{\text{perpendicular}}{\text{hypothenus}}$

$\sin 45^\circ =\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{AC}}$

$0.7  =\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{50}}$

\text{BC }= 0.7 \times 50

       = 35

Therefore, the bird perched on the tree limb at a height of 35 m.
