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 car is moving in the positive direction along a straight highway and accelerates at a constant rate while going from point A t

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The time where the avergae speed equals the instaneous speed is T/2

Explanation:

The velocity of the car is:

v(t) = v0 + at

Where v0 is the initial speed and a is the constant acceleration.

Let's find the average speed. This is given integrating the velocity from 0 to T and dividing by T:

$v_{ave} = \frac{1}{T}\int\limits^T_0 {v(t)} \, dt$

v_ave = v0+a(T/2)

We can esaily note that when t=T/2

v(T/2)=v_ave

Now we want to know where the car should be, the osition of the car is:

$x(t) = x_A + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

Where x_A is the position of point A. Therefore, the car will be at:

x(T/2) = x_A + v_0 (T/2) + (1/8)aT^2

An aircraft performs a maneuver called an "aileron roll." During this maneuver, the plane turns like a screw as it maintains a s

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

0.17724 m/s²

Explanation:

D = Diameter of roll = Length of wing = 11 m

T = Time it takes to complete the circle = 35 s

Velocity

$v=\frac{2\pi R}{T}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{\pi D}{T}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{\pi\times 11}{35}\\\Rightarrow v=0.98735\ m/s$

Acceleration

$a=\frac{v^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0.98735^2}{\frac{11}{2}}\\\Rightarrow a=0.17724\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of the tip of the plane is 0.17724 m/s²

A train starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s with a uniform acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. What is the final velocity of the train?

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Final speed of the train is 7.5 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Uniform acceleration of the train is, a = 1.5 m/s²

It starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s. We have to find the final velocity of the train. By using first equation of motion as :

$v=u+at$

Here, train starts from rest so, u = 0

$v=0+1.5\ m/s^2\times 5\ s$

v = 7.5 m/s

So, the final velocity of the train is 7.5 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Chromatic aberration occurs when:___.

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

b. a lens does not focus all colors of light to the same place.

Explanation:

Chromatic aberration is a defect of a lens. In this defect, the lens is unable to focus the different wavelengths of the light on a single focal point. It is also known as chromatic distortion and color fringing. It is caused by the dispersion of light while passing through a lens. As a result, the image might become blurred and different colors are observed around its edges. It can be corrected by the use of a combination of converging and diverging lenses.

Hence, the correct option will be:

b. a lens does not focus all colors of light to the same place.
