Wind turbines can generate a great deal of electricity, and have become popular because there is no cost to use wind, wind turbi

nes don't emit greenhouse gases and have several other benefits. A typical wind turbine has an efficiency of 30%, calculated as the amount of electrical energy generated divided by the maximum potential energy. What is the most likely source of "wasted" energy?
A) nuclear
B) thermal
C) chemical
D) potential

When using a calorimeter, the initial temperature of a metal is 70.4C. The initial temperature of the water is 23.6C. At the end
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

1) 29.8 C

At the beginning, the metal is at higher temperature (70.4 C) while the water is at lower temperature (23.6 C). When they are put in contact, the metal transfers heat to the water, until they reach thermal equilibrium: at thermal equilibrium the two objects (the metal and the water have same temperature). Therefore, since the temperature of the water at thermal equilibrium is 29.8 C, the final temperature of the metal must be the same (29.8 C).

2) 6.2 C

The temperature change of the water is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

\Delta T = T_f - T_i

where

T_f = 29.8 C\\T_i = 23.6 C

Substituting into the formula,

\Delta T=29.8 C-23.6 C=6.2 C

And the positive sign means that the temperature of the water has increased.

3) -40.6 C

The temperature change of the metal is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

\Delta T = T_f - T_i

where

T_f = 29.8 C\\T_i = 70.4 C

Substituting into the formula,

\Delta T=29.8 C-70.4 C=-40.6 C

And the negative sign means the temperature of the metal has decreased.

A block of mass 12.2 kg is sliding at an initial velocity of 6.65 m/s in the positive x-direction. The surface has a coefficient
valentina_108 [34]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the block, m = 12.2 kg

Initial velocity of the block, u = 6.65 m/s

The coefficient of kinetic friction, \mu_k=0.253

(a)The force of kinetic friction is given by :

f=\mu_k mg

mg is the normal force

So,

f=0.253\times 12.2\times 9.8\\\\f=30.24\ N

(b) Net force acting on the block in the horizontal direction,

f = ma

a is the acceleration of the block

a=\dfrac{f}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{30.24}{12.2}\\\\a=2.47\ m/s^2

(c) Let d is the distance covered by the block before coming to the rest. Using third equation of motion as follows :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{-(6.65)^2}{2\times 2.47}\\\\d=-8.95\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

In a television picture tube, electrons strike the screen after being accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 27
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

9.74 x 10^7 m/s

Explanation:

V = 27000 V

energy of electrons = e x V

K = 1.6 x 10^-19 x 27000 = 43200 x 10^-19 J

Energy = 1/2 m v^2

43200 x 10^-19 = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x v^2

v^2 = 9.495 x 10^15

v = 9.74 x 10^7 m/s
