The energy that generates wind comes from what source?

Physics
1 answer:
Rudiy273 years ago
3 0

Answer:

we can say that wind energy is due to

D) Severe thunderstorms

Explanation:

As we know that wind energy is converted into kinetic energy of wind mills

This kinetic energy of wind mill is then converted into electrical energy using turbine

now we can consider here  energy conservation theory that energy is only converted from one form to other form

it neither be destroyed nor be created but it can transfer from one form to other form

So here we can say that wind energy is due to

D) Severe thunderstorms

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

F_a=1470\ N

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When objects are in contact with other objects or rough surfaces, the friction forces appear when we try to move them with respect to each other. The friction forces always have a direction opposite to the intended motion, i.e. if the object is pushed to the right, the friction force is exerted to the left.

There are two blocks, one of 400 kg on a horizontal surface and other of 100 kg on top of it tied to a vertical wall by a string. If we try to push the first block, it will not move freely, because two friction forces appear: one exerted by the surface and the other exerted by the contact between both blocks. Let's call them Fr1 and Fr2 respectively. The block 2 is attached to the wall by a string, so it won't simply move with the block 1.  

Please find the free body diagrams in the figure provided below.

The equilibrium condition for the mass 1 is

\displaystyle F_a-F_{r1}-F_{r2}=m.a=0

The mass m1 is being pushed by the force Fa so that slipping with the mass m2 barely occurs, thus the system is not moving, and a=0. Solving for Fa

\displaystyle F_a=F_{r1}+F_{r2}.....[1]

The mass 2 is tried to be pushed to the right by the friction force Fr2 between them, but the string keeps it fixed in position with the tension T. The equation in the horizontal axis is

\displaystyle F_{r2}-T=0

The friction forces are computed by

\displaystyle F_{r2}=\mu \ N_2=\mu\ m_2\ g

\displaystyle F_{r1}=\mu \ N_1=\mu(m_1+m_2)g

Recall N1 is the reaction of the surface on mass m1 which holds a total mass of m1+m2.

Replacing in [1]

\displaystyle F_{a}=\mu \ m_2\ g\ +\mu(m_1+m_2)g

Simplifying

\displaystyle F_{a}=\mu \ g(m_1+2\ m_2)

Plugging in the values

\displaystyle F_{a}=0.25(9.8)[400+2(100)]

\boxed{F_a=1470\ N}

Suppose you wish to whirl a pail full of water in a vertical circle at a constant speed without spilling any of its contents (ev
Yanka [14]

Answer:

V = 2.87 m/s

Explanation:

The minimum speed required would be that at which the acceleration due to gravity is negated by the centrifugal force on the water.

Thus, we simply need to set the centripetal acceleration equal to gravity and solve for the speed V using the following equation:

Centripetal acceleration = V^2 / r

where r is the distance of water from the pivot or shoulder.

For our case, r will be 0.65 + 0.19 = 0.84 m

and solving the above equation we get:

9.81 = V^2 / 0.84

V^2 = 8.2404

V = 2.87 m/s

Name one contact force and one force that acts through a force field
nirvana33 [79]
A contact force is a type of force which act on an object by coming in contact with the object. Examples of contact force that acts through a force field are: applied force, frictional force, air resistance force, tension, spring force, etc.
  Examples of forces that act through a force field are gravitational force, electromagnetic force, the weak interaction and the strong interaction.
