<span>Assuming continuous operation (24/7), we can say that

Energy produced : Energy per hour * 24 (number of hours in a day) - 365 (number of days in a year.

Energy per hour: 2050 * 1.055 = 2162.75 kg.

So, we proceed to calculate the results

E: 2162.75 * 24 * 365 = 18,945,690 kj per year.

Now, we transform kj to megajoule, remembering that kilo is 10*3 and mega is 1'*6, so we divide the result by 1,000 in order to get the results in megajoules, and the answer would be:

18,945.69 megajoules can be produced per year.</span>

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Δθ₁ =  172.5 rev

Δθ₁h =  43.1 rev

Δθ₂ =   920 rev

Δθ₂h = 690 rev

Explanation:

  • Assuming uniform angular acceleration, we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the total angle rotated during the acceleration process, from rest to its operating speed:

       \Delta \theta = \frac{1}{2} *\alpha *(\Delta t)^{2}  (1)  

  • Now, we need first to find the value of  the angular acceleration, that we can get from the following expression:

       \omega_{f1}  = \omega_{o} + \alpha * \Delta t  (2)

  • Since the machine starts from rest, ω₀ = 0.
  • We know the value of ωf₁ (the operating speed) in rev/min.
  • Due to the time is expressed in seconds, it is suitable to convert rev/min to rev/sec, as follows:

       3450 \frac{rev}{min} * \frac{1 min}{60s} = 57.5 rev/sec (3)

  • Replacing by the givens in (2):

       57.5 rev/sec = 0 + \alpha * 6 s  (4)

  • Solving for α:

       \alpha = \frac{\omega_{f1}}{\Delta t} = \frac{57.5 rev/sec}{6 sec} = 9.6 rev/sec2 (5)

  • Replacing (5) and Δt in (1), we get:

       \Delta \theta_{1} = \frac{1}{2} *\alpha *(\Delta t)^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 6.9 rev/sec2* 36 sec2 = 172.5 rev  (6)

  • in order to get the number of revolutions during the first half of this period, we need just to replace Δt in (6) by Δt/2, as follows:

       \Delta \theta_{1h} = \frac{1}{2} *\alpha *(\Delta t/2)^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 6.9 rev/sec2* 9 sec2 = 43.2 rev  (7)

  • In order to get the number of revolutions rotated during the deceleration period, assuming constant deceleration, we can use the following kinematic equation:

       \Delta \theta = \omega_{o} * \Delta t + \frac{1}{2} *\alpha *(\Delta t)^{2}  (8)

  • First of all, we need to find the value of the angular acceleration during the second period.
  • We can use again (2) replacing by the givens:
  • ωf =0 (the machine finally comes to an stop)
  • ω₀ = ωf₁ = 57.5 rev/sec
  • Δt = 32 s

       0 = 57.5 rev/sec + \alpha * 32 s  (9)

  • Solving for α in (9), we get:

       \alpha_{2}  =- \frac{\omega_{f1}}{\Delta t} = \frac{-57.5 rev/sec}{32 sec} = -1.8 rev/sec2 (10)

  • Now, we can replace the values of ω₀, Δt and α₂ in (8), as follows:

        \Delta \theta_{2}  = (57.5 rev/sec*32) s -\frac{1}{2} * 1.8 rev/sec2\alpha *(32s)^{2} = 920 rev (11)

  • In order to get finally the number of revolutions rotated during the first half of the second period, we need just to replace 32 s by 16 s, as follows:
  • \Delta \theta_{2h}  = (57.5 rev/sec*16 s) -\frac{1}{2} * 1.8 rev/sec2\alpha *(16s)^{2} = 690 rev (12)

During a braking test, a car is brought to rest beginning from an initial speed of 60 mi/hr in a distance of 120 ft. With the sa
maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial speed u=60\ mi/hr\approx 88\ ft/s

distance traveled before coming to rest d_1=120\ ft

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

0-(88)^2=2\times a\times 120---1

for u_2=80\ mi/hr\approx 117.33\ ft/s

using same relation we get

0-(117.33)^2=2\times a\times (d_2)----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

(\frac{88}{117.33})^2=\frac{120}{d_2}

d_2=213.32\ ft

So a distance if 213.32 ft is required to stop the vehicle with 80 mph speed

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The state of the person under the influence of alcohol

The place in which the memory was initially encoded for the retrieval of information.

Retrieval of information is generally better given similar rather than different contextual cues Motivational and emotional factors

These are also likely to affect recall and forgetting.
