What is one difference between using a solar cell for electricity and using a windmill?

Physics
1 answer:
wlad13 [49]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Solar cell generates DC

Windmill generates AC

Explanation:

Solar cell generates DC from the panel, to use this DC for electricity it has to be passed to an inverter which convert DC to AC.

Windmill generates AC from the wind blades. This type of energy can be used directly with household appliances using AC, or passed to a rectifier to convert it to DC.

 it is just a matter of integration and using initial conditions since in general dv/dt = a it implies v = integral a dt 
v(t)_x = integral a_{x}(t) dt = alpha t^3/3 + c the integration constant c can be found out since we know v(t)_x at t =0 is v_{0x} so substitute this in the equation to get v(t)_x = alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} 
similarly v(t)_y = integral a_{y}(t) dt = integral beta - gamma t dt = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + c this constant c use at t = 0 v(t)_y = v_{0y} v(t)_y = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} 
so the velocity vector as a function of time vec{v}(t) in terms of components as[ alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} , beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} ] 
similarly you should integrate to find position vector since dr/dt = v r = integral of v dt 
r(t)_x = alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t + c let us assume the initial position vector is at origin so x and y initial position vector is zero and hence c = 0 in both cases 
r(t)_y = beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t + c here c = 0 since it is at 0 when t = 0 we assume 
r(t)_vec = [ r(t)_x , r(t)_y ] = [ alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t , beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t ]

Answer:

When substances made of iron are exposed to oxygen and moisture (water), rusting takes place. Rusting removes a layer of material from the surface and makes the substance weak. Rusting is a chemical change.

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. In 8.0 s, it rotates 35 rad.
Harman [31]

Answer:

(a) 1.093 rad/s^2

(b) 4.375 rad/s

(c) 8.744 rad/s

(d)  67.845 rad

Explanation:

initial angular velocity, ωo = 0

time, t = 8s

angular displacement, θ = 35 rad

(a) Let α be the angular acceleration.

Use second equation of motion for rotational motion

\theta =\omega _{0}t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}

By substituting the values

35 = 0 + 0.5 x α x 8 x 8

α = 1.093 rad/s^2

(b)  The average angular velocity is defined as the ratio of total angular displacement to the total time taken .

Average angular velocity = 35 / 8 = 4.375 rad/s

(c) Let ω be the instantaneous angular velocity at t = 8 s

Use first equation of motion for rotational motion

ω = ωo + αt

ω = 0 + 1.093 x 8 = 8.744 rad/s

(d) Let in next 5 seconds the angular displacement is θ.

\theta =\omega _{0}t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}

By substituting the values

θ = 8.744 x 5 + 0.5 x 1.093 x 5 x 5

θ = 67.845 rad
