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

Think of it like a graph. You start at the origin which is (0,0).  go three to the east which now you are (3,0). Then, six to the north. Now, you are at (3,6).  1 to the east, ((4,6).  Then you go 4 to the west which is back tracking. So, you end at (0,6) which is saying you are now 6 km north from your campsite. 

Hope this helps!

The answer would be C. Gamma Rays and High Frequency EM waves travel at the speed of light and are transverse waves.

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of (a) a mass of 1.0 g traveling at 1.0 m s−1 , (b) the same, traveling at 1.00 × 105 km s−1
lesantik [10]

Answer:

a)\lambda=6.63\times10^{-31}m

b)\lambda=6.63\times10^{-39}m

c)\lambda=9.97\times10^{-11}m

d)\lambda=4.03\times10^{-36}m

e)λ=∞

Explanation:

De Broglie discovered that an electron or other mass particles can have a wavelength associated, and that wavelength (λ) is:

\lambda=\frac{h}{P}=\frac{h}{mv}

with h the Plank's constant (6.63\times10^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s}) and P the momentum of the object that is mass (m) times velocity (v).

a)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(1.0\times10^{-3}kg*1.0)}

\lambda=6.63\times10^{-31}m

b)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(1.0\times10^{-3}*(1.00\times10^{8}))}

\lambda=6.63\times10^{-39}m

c)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(6.65\times10^{-27}*1000)}

\lambda=9.97\times10^{-11}m

d)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(74*2.22)}

\lambda=4.03\times10^{-36}m

e) \lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(74*0)}

λ=∞
