Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.
(a) +9.30 kg m/s
The impulse exerted on an object is equal to its change in momentum:
where
m is the mass of the object
is the change in velocity of the object, with
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
For the volleyball in this problem:
m = 0.272 kg
u = -12.6 m/s
v = +21.6 m/s
So the impulse is
(b) 155 N
The impulse can also be rewritten as
where
F is the force exerted on the volleyball (which is equal and opposite to the force exerted by the volleyball on the fist of the player, according to Newton's third law)
is the duration of the collision
In this situation, we have
So we can re-arrange the equation to find the magnitude of the average force:
The question is poor. Light doesn't refract on its way THROUGH anything. It refracts at the boundary BETWEEN two different media. The effect is greatest where the ratio of the speeds of light in the two media is greatest. On your list, that would be at the boundary between air or space and glass.
If the velocity of the train is v=s/t, where s is the distance and t is time, then v=400/5=80m/s. To get the vertical component of the velocity we need to multiply the velocity v with a sin(α): Vv=v*sin(α), where Vv is the vertical component of the velocity and α is the angle with the horizontal. So:
Vv=80*sin(10)=80*0.1736=13.888 m/s.
So the vertical component of the velocity of the train is Vv=13.888 m/s.
