The frequency of a wave is the inverse of the wave's period.

(Instead of "inverse", the word "reciprocal" is more appropriate.

It means that [ frequency = 1/period ], and [ period = 1/frequency ].

The easiest way to remember both of these is to just remember that (frequency) x (period) = 1 .)

According to Ohm's law what would happen if the current was increased and the resistance was held constant?

Whitepunk [10]

Ohm's law deals with the relation between voltage and current in an ideal conductor. It states that: Potential difference across a conductor is proportional to the current that pass through it. It is expressed as V=IR. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, the voltage would increase as well.

Soil formation involves both

Softa [21]

The process of soil formation involves the following steps: Accumulation of materials, leaching and losses (because of weather factors particles are leached and eroded away or taken up from the soil by plants), Transformation and illluviation (the chemical weathering of silt, sand, and the formation of clay minerals as well as the change of organic materials into decay resistant organic matter), podsolisation and translocations (strong acidic solutions breakdown the clay minerals). From the given options soil formation involves both physical and chemical weathering of rocks. Correct answer:D

At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 9 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power gen

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The specific mechanical energy of the air in the specific location is 40.5 J/kg.
The power generation potential of the wind turbine at such place is of 2290 kW
The actual electric power generation is 687 kW

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of the air per unit mass is the specific kinetic energy of the air that is calculated using: $\frac{1}{2} V^2$ where V is the velocity of the air.
The specific kinetic energy would be: $\frac{1}{2}(9\frac{m}{s})^2=40.5\frac{m^2}{s^2}=40.5\frac{m^2 }{s^2}\frac{kg}{kg}=40.5\frac{N*m }{kg}=40.5\frac{J}{kg}$ .
The power generation of the wind turbine would be obtained from the product of the mechanical energy of the air times the mass flow that moves the turbine.
To calculate mass flow it is required first to calculate the volumetric flow. To calculate the volumetric flow the next expression would be: $\frac{V\pi D_{blade}^2}{4} =\frac{9\frac{m}{s}\pi(80m)^2}{4} =45238.9\frac{m^3}{s}$
Then the mass flow is obtain from the volumetric flow times the density of the air: $m_{flow}=1.25\frac{kg}{m^3}45238.9\frac{m^3}{s}=56548.7\frac{kg}{s}$
Then, the Power generation potential is: $40.5\frac{J}{kg} 56548.7\frac{kg}{s} =2290221W=2290.2kW$
The actual electric power generation is calculated using the definition of efficiency: $\eta=\frac{E_P}{E_I}}$ , where η is the efficiency, $E_P$ is the energy actually produced and, $E_I$ is the energy input. Then solving for the energy produced: $E_P=\eta*E_I=0.30*2290kW=687kW$
