Determine the weight of an average physical science textbook whose mass is 3.1 kilograms. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8

m/s2.

Weight equals mass*gravity
W = mg

Given m = 3.1 kg, g = 9.8 m/s^2

W = (3.1)(9.8)
W = 30.38

A wind turbine works by slowing the air that passes its blades and converting much of the extracted kinetic energy to electric e

ddd [48]

Answer:

2649600 Joules

Explanation:

Efficiency = 40%

m = Mass of air = 92000 kg

v = Velocity of wind = 12 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 92000\times 12^2\\\Rightarrow K=6624000\ J$

The kinetic energy of the wind is 6624000 Joules

The wind turbine extracts 40% of the kinetic energy of the wind

$E=0.4\times K\\\Rightarrow E=0.4\times 6624000\\\Rightarrow E=2649600\ J$

The energy extracted by the turbine every second is 2649600 Joules

If a 4N weight is hung on a spring, and it extends by 0.2m, what is the spring constant (k)?

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: 200 N/m

Explanation:

The Gravitational spring energy(Us) is equal to 1/2kx^2. So we have x as .2 m and Us as 4 N. So 4 N = 1/2 * k * .2^2. So now we solve for K and get 200 N/m.
