It's most likely the combination of a bucket and the wheel.

On a windy day, the wind turbine transfers 78 W of power. Calculate the amount of energy the turbine transfers in 10s.

tangare [24]

Answer:

Energy = 780 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 78 Watts

Time = 10 seconds

To find the energy transferred;

Energy refers to the amount or quantity of power which is being consumed by an individual, group of people or organization over a specific period of time.

Mathematically, energy is given by the formula;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 78 * 10

Energy = 780 Joules

Therefore, the amount of energy the turbine transferred is 780 Joules

If y = 0.02 sin (30x – 200t) (SI units), the frequency of the wave is

leva [86]

Answer:

31.831 Hz.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

$\rm y = 0.02\sin(30x-200 t).$

The vertical displacement of a wave is given in generalized form as

$\rm y = A\sin(kx -\omega t).$

<em>where</em>,

A = amplitude of the displacement of the wave.
k = wave number of the wave = $\dfrac{2\pi }{\lambda}.$
$\lambda$ = wavelength of the wave.
x = horizontal displacement of the wave.
$\omega$ = angular frequency of the wave = $\rm 2\pi f$ .
f = frequency of the wave.
t = time at which the displacement is calculated.

On comparing the generalized equation with the given equation of the displacement of the wave, we get,

$\rm A=0.02.\\k=30.\\\omega =200.\\$

therefore,

$\rm 2\pi f=200\\\\\Rightarrow f = \dfrac{200}{2\pi}=31.831\ Hz.$

It is the required frequency of the wave.

A spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d, where x=0 is the equilibrium position of the spring. It is then compressed from x=0 to x=

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The same amount of energy is required to either stretch or compress the spring.

Explanation:

The amount of energy required to stretch or compress a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored by the spring:

$U=\frac{1}{2}k (\Delta x)^2$

where

k is the spring constant

$\Delta x$ is the stretch/compression of the spring

In the first case, the spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d, so

$\Delta x = d-0=d$

and the amount of energy required is

$U=\frac{1}{2}k d^2$

In the second case, the spring is compressed from x=0 to x=-d, so

$\Delta x = -d -0 = -d$

and the amount of energy required is

$U=\frac{1}{2}k (-d)^2= \frac{1}{2}kd^2$

so we see that the amount of energy required is the same.

Two planets A and B, where B has twice the mass of A, orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits. The semi-major axis of the elliptical

lozanna [386]

Answer:

2.83

Explanation:

Kepler's discovered that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, that is called Kepler's third law of planet motion and can be expressed as:

$T=\frac{2\pi a^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}$ (1)

with T the orbital period, M the mass of the sun, G the Cavendish constant and a the semi major axis of the elliptical orbit of the planet. By (1) we can see that orbital period is independent of the mass of the planet and depends of the semi major axis, rearranging (1):

$\frac{T}{a^{\frac{3}{2}}}=\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{GM}}$

$\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}=(\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{GM}})^2$ (2)

Because in the right side of the equation (2) we have only constant quantities, that implies the ratio $\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}$ is constant for all the planets orbiting the same sun, so we can said that:
