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>

What is the frequency of a wave
MAVERICK [17]
The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point in a certain time. The less waves that pass in a period of time the lower the frequency of the wave. The more waves that pass in a period of time the higher the frequency of the wave. When measuring wave length the time period used is usually one second.

A 1.80-m string of weight 0.0126 N is tied to the ceiling at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Neglect the v
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

W = 0.135 N

Explanation:

Given:

- y (x, t) = 8.50*cos(172*x -2730*t)

- Weight of string m*g = 0.0126 N

- Attached weight = W

Find:

The attached weight W given that Tension and W are equal.

Solution:

The general form of standing mechanical waves is given by:

                            y (x, t) = A*cos(k*x -w*t)  

Where k = stiffness and w = angular frequency

Hence,

                           k = 172 and w = 2730

- Calculate wave speed V:

                            V = w / k = 2730 / 172 = 13.78 m/s

- Tension in the string T:

                            T = Y*V^2

where Y: is the mass per unit length of the string.

- The tension T and weight attached W are equal:

                           T = W = Y*V^2 = (w/L*g)*V^2

                            W = (0.0126 / 1.8*9.81)*(13.78)^2

                            W = 0.135 N
