The world's largest wind turbine has blades that are 80 m long and makes 1 revolution every 5.7 seconds. What is the velocity fo
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The velocity of the blades is 88.185 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the blade, r = 80 m

angular speed, ω = 1 rev per 5.7 seconds

The velocity of the blades is calculated by applying the following circular motion equation that relates linear velocity (V) and angular speed (ω);

V = \omega r\\\\V = (\frac{1 \ rev}{5.7 \ s} \times \frac{2  \pi \ rad}{ 1 \ rev} )(80 \ m)\\\\V = 88.185 \ m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the blades is 88.185 m/s.

An airplane traveling at half the speed of sound emits a sound of frequency 4.68 kHz. (a) At what frequency does a stationary li
kkurt [141]

Answer:

(a) 9.36 kHz

(b) 3.12 kHz

Explanation:

(a)

V = speed of sound

v = speed of airplane = (0.5) V

f = actual frequency of sound emitted by airplane = 4.68 kHz = 4680 Hz

f' = Frequency heard by the stationary listener

Using Doppler's effect

f' = \frac{Vf}{V-v}

f' = \frac{V(4680)}{V-(0.5)V)}

f' = 9360 Hz

f' = 9.36 kHz

(b)

V = speed of sound

v = speed of airplane = (0.5) V

f = actual frequency of sound emitted by airplane = 4.68 kHz = 4680 Hz

f' = Frequency heard by the stationary listener

Using Doppler's effect

f' = \frac{Vf}{V+v}

f' = \frac{V(4680)}{V+(0.5)V)}

f' = 3120 Hz

f' = 3.12 kHz

You place a box weighing 268.3 N on an inclined plane that makes a 42◦ angle with the horizontal.
vivado [14]

Answer:

Wy = - 268.3*cos(42) = - 199.38 [N]

Wx = 268.3*sin(42) = 179.52 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must make a free body diagram, in the attached image we can see a free body diagram.

Taking the inclined X & y axes with the same angle of 42°, we can see that the weight can be decomposed on both axes.

Since the angle is adjacent to the y-axis, we can use the cosine function

Wy = - 268.3*cos(42) = - 199.38 [N]

Wx = 268.3*sin(42) = 179.52 [N]
