A wind turbine works by slowing the air that passes its blades and converting much of the extracted kinetic energy to electric e

nergy. A large wind turbine has 45-m-radius blades. In typical conditions, 92,000 kg of air moves past the blades every second. If the air is moving at 12 m/s before it passes the blades and the wind turbine extracts 40% of this kinetic energy, how much energy is extracted every second?

Answer:

2649600 Joules

Explanation:

Efficiency = 40%

m = Mass of air = 92000 kg

v = Velocity of wind = 12 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 92000\times 12^2\\\Rightarrow K=6624000\ J

The kinetic energy of the wind is 6624000 Joules

The wind turbine extracts 40% of the kinetic energy of the wind

E=0.4\times K\\\Rightarrow E=0.4\times 6624000\\\Rightarrow E=2649600\ J

The energy extracted by the turbine every second is 2649600 Joules

While Bob is demonstrating the gravitational force on falling objects to his class, he drops an 1.0 lb bag of feathers from the
BartSMP [9]

In the experiment of free fall bob released a bag of mass 1 lb

so here we can say that initial speed of the bag is Zero

time taken by the bag to free fall is given as

t = 1.5 s

also the acceleration of free fall is given as

a = 9.8 m/s^2

now we will use kinematics equation here for finding the distance of free fall

d = v_i * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}*9.8* 1.5^2

d = 4.9 * 2.25

d = 11.025 m

so the bag will fall down by total distance of 11.025 m from its initial released position.
