The windmill has 7 blades and rotates at an angular speed of 0.5 rad/s. The opening between successive blades is equal to the wi

dth of a blade. A golf ball of diameter 9.0 x 10⁻² m is just passing by one of the rotating blades at a minimum speed of 0.1 m/s.
What is the angular acceleration of the windmill?

Answer:

α = - 0.00148 rad/s^2

Explanation:

Given:-

- The number of blades, n = 7

- The angular speed of blades, w = 0.5 rad/s

- The diameter of golf ball, d = 9.0 x 10^-2 m

- The speed of the ball, v = 0.1 m/s

Find:-

What is the angular acceleration of the windmill?

Solution:-

- We first need to visualize the ball "just passing" through between two successive blades. First we will determine the time taken (t) for the golf-ball to just pass the blades i.e it travelled a distance equal to its diameter (d) with given speed (v) to avoid the blades.

                                      d = v*t

                                      t = d / v

                                      t = 0.09 / 0.1

                                      t = 0.9 s

- It takes t = 0.9s for the golf-ball to just pass the windmill. The same amount of time is taken by the windmill blade to cover an arc distance (s) that is equivalent to the diameter of the ball (d) which is also the width of empty space between two successive blades. The angle (θ) between each blade - denoting empty space can be determined by the seeing that all 7 blades are equally spaced in a circle. So:

                                    θ = 2π / 2*n

                                    θ = π / 7

                                    θ = 0.44879 rads

- So the angular speed of the windmill blade (wf) when the ball passes through can be determined by the formula:

                                    wf = θ / t

                                    wf = 0.44879 / 0.9

                                    wf = 0.49866 rad/s

- Now we will use the first rotational kinematics equation of motion with constant angular acceleration ( α ) as follows:

                                   wf = wi + α*t

- Solve for  ( α ) :

                                    α = ( wf - wi ) / t

- Plug in the values and evaluate ( α ):

                                    α = ( 0.49866 - 0.5 ) / 0.9

                                    α = - 0.00148 rad/s^2

An athlete is running a 400m race around a 400m track. On the backstretch the athlete's velocity is 8m/s but he is running into
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

33 N

Explanation:

v = Velocity of fluid = 8+2 = 10 m/s

\rho = Density of fluid = 1.2 kg/m³

C = Coefficient of drag = 1.1

A = Cross sectional area = 0.5 m²

Drag force is given by

F=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2\times 1.1\times 0.5\times (8+2)^2\\\Rightarrow F=33\ N

The drag force on the athlete is 33 N

Levart [38]

Answer:

The options are

A.on racetracks

B.in real-world conditions

C.in flooded environments

D.on closed courses

The answer is B. In real world conditions

The public is not yet able to purchase cars powered by hydrogen fuel cells because engineers have to determin

how the cars perform based on real world conditions.

This will ensure they encounter the real and first hand experiences about the challenges and also the advantages associated with using this type of fuel.

A suspension bridge with weight uniformly distributed along its length has twin towers that extend 65 meters above the road surf
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

16.25 m

Explanation:

we know that the equation pf parabola

y=kx^2

from bellow figure the coordinate of parabola is (600,65) that is y=600 and x=65

putting the the value of y and x in the equation of parabola

65=k600^2

k=0.0001805

now the equation is

y=0.0001805x^2

we have to find the value of y at x=300m

so y=0.0001805\times 300^2

y=16.25 m
