Answer: It may be unreliable.

Explanation:

Harnessing wind a s a source of energy is very efficient and renewable. It does not produce any waste and is environment friendly energy resource because it is naturally occurring.

But it is unreliable. The wind is the motion of air from high pressure region to low pressure region. Thus, we cannot start or stop wind turbines to spin. It depends on the wind and its speed.

A device that transforms electrical energy to mechanical energy is a

yarga [219]

Answer:

Electric Motor

Explanation:

There are mainly two types of machines for inter-conversion between mechanical energy and electrical energy as under:

Motor
Generator

Motor is a device which converts electrical energy into a mechanical whereas generator does the exact opposite of motor.

There are 2 types of motors:

AC Motor - Converts alternating current into mechanical energy

DC Motor - Converts direct current into mechanical energy

A baseball player hits a homerun, and the ball lands in the left field seats, which is 103m away from the point at which the bal

Sati [7]

(a) The ball has a final velocity vector

$\mathbf v_f=v_{x,f}\,\mathbf i+v_{y,f}\,\mathbf j$

with horizontal and vertical components, respectively,

$v_{x,f}=\left(20.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos(-38^\circ)\approx16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$v_{y,f}=\left(20.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin(-38^\circ)\approx-12.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

The horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant throughout its trajectory, so $v_{x,i}=v_{x,f}$ , and the horizontal distance x that it covers after time t is

$x=v_{x,i}t=v_{x,f}t$

It lands 103 m away from where it's hit, so we can determine the time it it spends in the air:

$103\,\mathrm m=\left(16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t\implies t\approx6.38\,\mathrm s$

The vertical component of the ball's velocity at time t is

$v_{y,f}=v_{y,i}-gt$

where g = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve for the vertical component of the initial velocity:

$-12.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=v_{y,i}-\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)\implies v_{y,i}\approx49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

So, the initial velocity vector is

$\mathbf v_i=v_{x,i}\,\mathbf i+v_{y,i}\,\mathbf j=\left(16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf j$

which carries an initial speed of

$\|\mathbf v_i\|=\sqrt{{v_{x,i}}^2+{v_{y,i}}^2}\approx\boxed{52.4\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}$

and direction θ such that

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{y,i}}{v_{x,i}}\implies\theta\approx\boxed{72.0^\circ}$

(b) I assume you're supposed to find the height of the ball when it lands in the seats. The ball's height y at time t is

$y=v_{y,i}t-\dfrac12gt^2$

so that when it lands in the seats at t ≈ 6.38 s, it has a height of

$y=\left(49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)^2\approx\boxed{119\,\mathrm m}$

Explain how does the geyser works?

Shkiper50 [21]

Working of Electric Geyser:
 simply in our homes ,, in electric geysers electric energy is converted into heat energy ,, when cold water enters into the geyser through inlet then it is heated into a container inside the geyser,,when it is heated connection of electricity is cut off inside the geyser,,
then this hot water comes out through a outlet ... :)

Nine-year-old Dakoda realizes that the quantity of water in a glass remains the same, even when the water is poured into a diffe

Archy [21]

Answer:

Conservation

Explanation:

She has observation conservation because If the temperature of the liquids stays constant and the container is insulated and not heat or cool the liquid much would not change the density of the liquid very much so that it's original volume could remain constant.

The interesting thing is not that the child assumes the taller glass holds more liquid but that they fail to understand conservation: the fact that the water from one glass is going to be the same amount after being poured into any other container. It's as if they did not realize the water came from the same glass.
