Answer:

Speed = Wavelength x Wave Frequency. In this equation, wavelength is measured in meters and frequency is measured in hertz (Hz), or number of waves per second. Therefore, wave speed is given in meters per second, which is the SI unit for speed.

Which transformation of energy occurs when a fan is turned on and the blades start to rotate?

Ksju [112]

Answer:

kinetic energy

Explanation:

A wind turbine transforms the mechanical energy of wind into electrical energy. A turbine takes the kinetic energy of a moving fluid, air in this case, and converts it to a rotary motion. As wind moves past the blades of a wind turbine, it moves or rotates the blades. These blades turn a generator

A 100 Kg man is diving off a 50 meter cliff. What is his kinetic energy when he is 20 meters from the water?

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

$K.E=29.403125J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass $M=100$

Height $50-20=30m$

Generally the equation for velocity before impact is is is mathematically given by

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2*9.8*30}$

$v=24.25$

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is is mathematically given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}*100*(24.25)^2\\$

$K.E=29403.125J$

$K.E=29.403125J$

The plane of a rectangular coil, 3.7 cm by 3.7 cm, is perpendicular to the direction of a uniform magnetic field B. If the coil

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:3.77 T/s

Explanation:

Given

Area of cross-section $=3.7\times 3.7 cm^2=13.69 cm^2$

N=no of turns=61

Resistance= $R=8 \Omega$

current (i)=0.04 A

emf induced $=i\times R=0.04\times 8=0.32 V$

emf induced $e=NA\frac{\mathrm{d} B}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$0.32=62\times 13.69\times 10^{-4}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} B}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} B}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{0.32\times 10^4}{848.78}=3.77 T/s$

A rectangular barge, 5.2 m long and 2.4 m wide, floats in fresh water. Suppose that a 410-kg crate of auto parts is loaded onto

sesenic [268]

<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The depth of barge float=3 cm</h2><h2>Explanation:</h2>

Length of rectangular barge=5.2 m

Width of rectangular barge=2.4m

Mass of crate=410 kg

Let h be the height of barge float

Volume of barge float= $l\times b\times h=5.2\times 2.4\times h=12.48h$

Density of water= $10^3kg/m^3$

Weight of water displaced by barge=Buoyant force=-Weight of horse

$Volume\;of\;water\times density\;of\;water\times g=410\times g$

$12.48h\times 1000=410$

$h=\frac{410}{12.48\times 1000}=0.03 m$

1 m=100 cm

$0.03 m=0.03\times 100=3$ cm

Hence, the depth of barge float=3 cm
