Not all states and parts of the country re suitable for wind power because the weather isnt always stable

Before you spend the ginormous amount of money to buy the land and build the windmills, you need to make sure you're building them in a place where the wind blows MOST of the time, and it's not too slow for the windmills, and it's not too fast for them either.

That's a special kind of place.

There are a lot of places where the wind doesn't blow enough of the time, and when it does, it's either too slow or too fast for windmills to operate safely and efficiently. In places like that, you could spend a fortune to build windmills, but they wouldn't produce enough energy to make it worth the money.

Air, considered an ideal gas, is contained in an insulated piston-cylinder assembly outfitted with a paddle wheel. It is initial

Maru [420]

Our data are,

State 1:

$P_1= 10psi=68.95kPa\\V_1 = 1ft^3=0.02831m^3\\T_1 = 100\°F = 310.93K$

State 2:

$P_2 =5psi=34.474kPa\\V_2 = 3ft^3=0.0899m^3$

We know as well that $3BTU=3.16kJ/K$

To find the mass we apply the ideal gas formula, which is given by

$P_1V_1=mRT_1$

Re-arrange for m,

$m= \frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}\\m= \frac{68.95*0.02831}{(0.287)310.9}\\m=0.021893kg=0.04806lbm\\$

Because of the pressure, temperature and volume ratio of state 1 and 2, we have to

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

Replacing,

$T_2 = \frac{P_2V_2}{P_1V_1}T_1\\T_2 =\frac{34.474*0.0844}{68.95*0.02831}*310.93\\T_2 = 464.217K=375.5\°F$

For conservative energy we have, (Cv = 0.718)

$W = m C_v = 0.718 \Delta T +dw\\dw = W - mv\Delta T\\dw = 3.16-(0.0218*0.718)(454.127-310.93)\\dw = 0.765kJ=0.72BTU$

1.- Un barco recorre la distancia que separa Gran Canaria de Tenerife (90 km) en 6 horas. ¿Cuál es

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The speed is 15 km/h or 4.16 m/s.

Explanation:

A boat travels the distance that separates Gran Canaria from Tenerife (90 km) in 6 hours. Which the speed of the boat in km / h? And in m / s?

Given that,

Distance, d = 90 km = 90000 m

Time, t = 6 hours = 21600 s

Speed = distance/time

$v=\dfrac{90\ km}{6\ h}\\\\=15\ km/h$

$v=\dfrac{90000\ m}{21600\ s}\\\\=4.16\ m/s$

So, the required speed is 15 km/h or 4.16 m/s.

Two wheel gears are connected by a chain. The larger gear has a radius of 8 centimeters and the smaller gear has a radius of 3 c

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

B.The linear velocity of the gears is the same. The linear velocity is 432π centimeters per minute.

Explanation:

As we know that the small gear completes 24 revolutions in 20 seconds

so the angular speed of the smaller gear is given as

$\omega = 2\pi\frac{24}{20}$

$\omega = 2.4\pi rad/s$

Now we know that the tangential speed of the chain is given as

$v = r \omega$

so we have

$v = (3 cm)(2.4\pi)$

$v = 7.2 \pi cm/s$

$v = 432\pi cm/min$

Since both gears are connected by same chain so both have same linear speed and hence correct answer will be

B.The linear velocity of the gears is the same. The linear velocity is 432π centimeters per minute.
