Answers:

<h2>1) Sometime in 2014 </h2>

As we can see in the graph in 2014 there is an intersection between the lines that represent the wind energy production of Spain and India, then the production of India is increased, while that of Spain remains constant.

<h2>2) Germany </h2>

As we can see in the graph in 2000 Germany was the number 1 producer of gigawatts of wind energy. In addition it is observed a rapid growth and increase in production compared to the other countries.

<h2>3) In 2006, America was producing over 10 GW and began a steep climb in wind energy production.</h2>

In 1997, America began with a constant and very small energy production, which was growing gradually until 2006, when its rapid growth in production began to exceed the other countries shown in the graph.

<h2>4) Years</h2>

When a function is plotted, generally the independent variable, whose value is previously set, is represented on the X axis.

In this sense, the variable found on the X axis of this graph is Years.

<h2>5) Wind Energy Capacity </h2>

When a function is plotted, generally the dependent variable (which is generated from the independent variable) is represented on the Y axis.

In this sense, the variable found on the Y axis of this graph is Wind Energy Capacity.

<h2>6) Gigawatts (GW) </h2>

We already know the dependent variable in this <u>Wind Energy Capacity vs Years</u> graph is Wind Energy Capacity, and its Unit is Gigawatts (GW).

Where 1GW=10^{6} W

<h2>7) Both onshore and offshore wind sources </h2>

When we talk about scientific experimentation and representing data, the Control Variable is the one that remains constant (it does not change during the investigation).  

According to the explanation above, the option that fits with this characteristic is: Both onshore and offshore wind sources

<h2>8) 55 GW </h2>

If we want to make a linear interpolation to estimate how much wind energy capacity was there in the United States in the middle of 2011, firstly we need to <u>find two points where the value we want to find is in the middle.</u>

These points (X,Y) are:

P1: (2011,48) and P2: (2012,60)

Where X1:2011, Y1:48, X2:2012, Y2:60

Now we find the <u>slope</u> m of the line with the following equation:

m=\frac{Y2 - Y1}{X2 - X1}

m=\frac{60 - 48}{2012 - 2011}=12

Then, with this value of the slope we can write the <u>equation of the line</u> and find the <u>intersection point</u> b with one of the given points (we will use P1):

Y=mX+b

48=12(2011)+b

b=-24084

With this value and the slope, we can find Y for X=2011.5 (we need to know the wind capacity in the middle of 2011):

Y=(12)(2011.5)-24084

Y=54 This is the e<u>stimated result</u> 54 GW, and the option that is near this value is 55 GW

<h2>9) 36 GW </h2>

In this case we will apply a similar method as the previous answer, but estimating a prediction:

Let's find two points near the value we want to find. These points (X,Y) are:

P1: (2014,22) and P2: (2016,29)

Where X1:2014, Y1:22, X2:2016, Y2:29

Now we find the <u>slope</u> m of the line with the following equation:

m=\frac{Y2 - Y1}{X2 - X1}

m=\frac{29 - 22}{2016 - 2014}=\frac{7}{2}

Then, with this value of the slope we can write the <u>equation of the line</u> and find the <u>intersection point</u> b with one of the given points (we will use P2):

Y=mX+b

29=\frac{7}{2}(2016)+b

b=-7027

With this value and the slope, we can find Y for X=2020 (we need to estimate the expected wind capacity in 2020):

Y=\frac{7}{2}(2020)-7027

Y=43 This is the e<u>stimated result</u> 43 GW (note linear extrapolation is not as accurate as other methods), and the option that is near this value is 36 GW

<h2>10) Additional 7 GW/Year</h2>

In this case we will use the equation of the slope:

m=\frac{Y2 - Y1}{X2 - X1}

With the following points:

P1: (2009,35) and P2: (2016,82)

m=\frac{82 - 35}{2016 - 2009}

m=6.7 \approx 7

Therefore, the correct option is Additional 35 GW/Year

A 2.7-kg block is released from rest and allowed to slide down a frictionless surface and into a spring. The far end of the spri
exis [7]

a) The speed of the block at a height of 0.25 m is 2.38 m/s

b) The compression of the spring is 0.25 m

c) The final height of the block is 0.54 m

Explanation:

a)

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the total mechanical energy (sum of kinetic+gravitational potential energy) must be conserved in absence of friction. So we can write:

U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f

where

U_i is the initial potential energy, at the top

K_i is the initial kinetic energy, at the top

U_f is the final potential energy, at halfway

K_f is the final kinetic energy, at halfway

The equation can be rewritten as

mgh_i + \frac{1}{2}mu^2 = mgh_f + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where:

m = 2.7 kg is the mass of the block

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h_i = 0.54 is the initial height

u = 0 is the initial speed

h_f = 0.25 m is the final height of the block

v is the final speed when the block is at a height of 0.25 m

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2+2g(h_i-h_f)}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8)(0.54-0.25)}=2.38 m/s

b)

The total mechanical energy of the block can be calculated from the initial conditions, and it is

E=K_i + U_i = 0 + mgh_i = (2.7)(9.8)(0.54)=14.3 J

At the bottom of the ramp, the gravitational potential energy has become zero (because the final heigth is zero), and all the energy has been converted into kinetic energy. However, then the block compresses the spring, and the maximum compression of the spring occurs when the block stops: at that moment, all the energy of the block has been converted into elastic potential energy of the spring. So we can write

E=E_e = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

where

k = 453 N/m is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

And solving for x, we find

x=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(14.3)}{453}}=0.25 m

c)

If there is no friction acting on the block, we can apply again the law of conservation of energy. This time, the initial energy is the elastic potential energy stored in the spring:

E=E_e = 14.3 J

while the final energy is the energy at the point of maximum height, where all the energy has been converted into gravitational potetial energy:

E=U_f = mg h_f

where h_f is the maximum height reached. Solving for this quantity, we find

h_f = \frac{E}{mg}=\frac{14.3}{(2.7)(9.8)}=0.54 m

which is the initial height: this is correct, because the total mechanical energy is conserved, so the block must return to its initial position.

What is the magnitude of the force needed to keep a 60 newton rubber block moving across level,dry asphalt in a straight line at
pantera1 [17]

let Coefficients of Friction of Rubber on asphalt (dry) =0.7

F= Coefficients of Friction * normal force = 0.7 * 60 =42 N

so the net force of the rubber is zero, meaning it will travel at a constant speed.

When the rubber is travel at 2m/s, 42N is required to keep moving at constant speed

14. If the spring constant of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor will the mass of the system need to change
klio [65]

Lets se

And

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \sqrt{k}T=2\pi\sqrt{m}

So

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow k\propto m

If spring constant is doubled mass must be doubled
