Answer:

Turbines convert the one form of energy to the another.

Explanation:

As the water falls from the height on turbines, the potential energy of water is converted into mechanical energy.

As the turbines rotate, the armature coil rotates in the strong magnetic field and then electric energy is generated.

What is the source of all mechanical waves?
frutty [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Vibration.

Explanation:

Mechanical waves is formed by the oscillation of matter and therefore transfer energy from one medium to the other. Unlike electromagnetic waves, mechanical waves need some medium to propagate. It requires an initial energy input and thus carries this energy when it propagates. There are three types of mechanical waves namely transverse waves, longitudinal waves and surface waves. Examples of such waves are sound waves, water waves and seismic waves.

An ac generator with Em = 223 V and operating at 399 Hz causes oscillations in a series RLC circuit having R = 222 Ω, L = 147 mH
Doss [256]

Answer:

Xc= 17.267 Ω,   Z= 415.5 Ω,   I= 0.537 A

Explanation:

Em = 223 V

f= 300 Hz, R = 222 Ω, L = 147 mH,  C = 23.1 μF

a)

Capacitive reactance = Xc=?

Xc= \frac{1}{2\pi fC}

Xc=1/2pi *399*23.1*10^-6

Xc= 17.267 Ω

b).

Z=\sqrt{ R^2 + (Xl - Xc)^2}

Xl= 2π * f * L  

Xl= 2π * 399 * 147 * 10^{-3}

Xl= 368.5 Ω

Z=\sqrt{ R^2 + (Xl - Xc)^2} = \sqrt{222^2 + (368.5 - 17.267)^2}

Z= 415.5 Ω  

c).

Current:

I= V / Z= Em / Z

I= 223/415.5

I= 0.537 A

Four 50-g point masses are at the corners of a square with 20-cm sides. What is the moment of inertia of this system about an ax
deff fn [24]

Answer:

moment of inertia I ≈ 4.0 x 10⁻³ kg.m²

Explanation:

given

point masses = 50g = 0.050kg

note: m₁=m₂=m₃=m₄=50g = 0.050kg

distance, r, from masses to eachother = 20cm = 0.20m

the distance, d, of each mass point from the centre of the mass, using pythagoras theorem is given by

= (20√2)/ 2 = 10√2 cm =14.12 x 10⁻² m  

moment of inertia is a proportion of the opposition of a body to angular acceleration about a given pivot that is equivalent to the entirety of the products of every component of mass in the body and the square of the component's distance from the center

mathematically,

I = ∑m×d²

remember, a square will have 4 equal points

I = ∑m×d² = 4(m×d²)

I = 4 × 0.050 × (14.12 x 10⁻² m)²

I = 0.20 × 1.96 × 10⁻²

I =  3.92 x 10⁻³ kg.m²

I ≈ 4.0 x 10⁻³ kg.m²

attached is the diagram of the equation

A test charge is placed at a distance of 2.0 × 10-1 meters from a charge of 5.4 × 10-8 coulombs. What is the electric field at t
Alborosie
The electric field E of a charge is defined as E=F/Q where F is the Coulomb force and Q is the test charge. 

E=(1/Q)*k*(q*Q)/r², where k=9*10^9 N*m²/C², q is the point charge, Q is the test charge and r is the distance between the charges.

So E=(k*q)/r² 

When we input the numbers we get that electric field E of a point chage q is:

E=(9*10^9)*(5.4*10^-8)/0.2²=486/0.04=12150 N/C.
This is roughly E=12000 N/C =1.2*10^4 N/C
The correct answer is B.
