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

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi

slega [8]

We divide the thin rectangular sheet in small parts of height b and length dr. All these sheets are parallel to b. The infinitesimal moment of inertia of one of these small parts is
$dI =r^2*dm$
where $dm =M(b*dr)/(ab)$
Now we find the moment of inertia by integrating from $-a/2$ to $a/2$
The moment of inertia is
$I= \int\limits^{-a/2}_{a/2} {r^2*dm} = M \int\limits^{-a/2}_{a/2} r^2(b*dr)/(ab)=(M/a)(r^3/3)$ (from (-a/2) to $I=(M/3a)(a^3/8 +a^3/8)=(Ma^2)/12$ (a/2))

The thermal energy used by heater in 3 minutes is used to melt wax.Melting point of solid wax is 60.Specific heat of wax is 220j

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

m = 35 g

Explanation:

The specific heat of a material can be calculated by the following formula:

$C = \frac{Q}{m}\\$

where,

C = Specific Heat of Wax = 220 J/g

Q = Amount of Heat Supplied by the Heater = 7700 J

m = mass of wax melted = ?

Therefore,

$220\ J/g = \frac{7700\ J}{m}\\\\m = \frac{7700\ J}{220\ J/g}\\$

Each plate of an air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has an area of 45.0 cm2, and the separation of the plates is 0.080 mm. A ba

maw [93]

Answer:

Option (e)

Explanation:

A = 45 cm^2 = 0.0045 m^2, d = 0.080 mm = 0.080 x 10^-3 m,

Energy density = 100 J/m

Let Q be the charge on the plates.

Energy density = 1/2 x ε0 x E^2

100 = 0.5 x 8.854 x 10^-12 x E^2

E = 4.75 x 10^6 V/m

V = E x d

V = 4.75 x 10^6 x 0.080 x 10^-3 = 380.22 V

C = ε0 A / d

C = 8.854 x 10^-12 x 45 x 10^-4 / (0.080 x 10^-3) = 4.98 x 10^-10 F

Q = C x V = 4.98 x 10^-10 x 380.22 = 1.9 x 10^-7 C

Q = 190 nC
