The world’s largest wind turbine has blades that are 80 m long and makes 1 revolution every 5.7 seconds. What is the velocity fo
klemol [59]

Answer:

The free end of the blade has a tangential velocity of about 88.19 m/s

Explanation:

The angular velocity of the blades is  2 \pi /5.7\,\,rad/sec

since the blades are 80 m long, then the tangential velocity of the free end of the blade is:

v_{tan} \approx 88.19\,\,m/s

If the pendulum took longer to complete one oscillation, how would the graph change?
pickupchik [31]

We don't know what kind of graph it is.

For example, it might be a graph of the pendulum's distance from center,

angle from center, speed, acceleration, total distance swung since it was

started, mass, weight, temperature, etc.


If the graph shows the pendulum's distance from center, angle from center,

speed, or acceleration, then the graph will look like a wave, with the period

of the wave being the period of the pendulum's oscillation. If the pendulum

took longer to complete one oscillation, that means its PERIOD increased,

and the distance between the peaks of the graph would be longer.


If it was a graph of total distance the pendulum swung since it was started,

the graph wouldn't look like a wave, just a steadily rising wiggle line. If the

pendulum took longer to complete one oscillation, the wiggles in the line

would be farther apart, and the average slope of any large section of the

line would be less.


If it was a graph of the pendulum's mass, weight, temperature, cost, etc.,

then the graph would be a horizontal line, and nothing that might change

the period of oscillation would have any effect on the graph.

A distant galaxy is determined to be 150 million light years distant and moving away from us; using the Hubble law determine its
dlinn [17]

Your question kind of petered out there towards the end and you didn't specify
the terms, so I'll pick my own.

The "Hubble Constant" hasn't yet been pinned down precisely, so let's pick a
round number that's in the neighborhood of the last 20 years of measurements:

             <em>70 km per second per megaparsec</em>.

We'll also need to know that 1 parsec = about 3.262 light years.

So the speed of your receding galaxy is

         (Distance in LY) x (1 megaparsec / 3,262,000 LY) x (70 km/sec-mpsc) =

              (150 million) x  (1 / 3,262,000) x (70 km/sec) =

                                 <em>3,219 km/sec  </em>in the direction away from us (rounded)
