What type of energy does a spinning turbine have?

1 answer:

8 0

The type of energy that a spinning turbine has is called mechanical energy. When an objects kinetic energy is added to the objects potential energy is makes mechanical energy. The correct answer is D.

A student sits at rest on a piano stool that can rotate without friction. The moment of inertia of the student-stool system is 4

irina [24]

Here We can use principle of angular momentum conservation

Here as we know boy + projected mass system has no external torque

Since there is no torque so we can say the angular momentum is conserved

$mvL = (I + mL^2)\omega$

now we know that

m = 2 kg

v = 2.5 m/s

L = 0.35 m

I = 4.5 kg-m^2

now plug in all values in above equation

$2\times 2.5 \times 0.35 = (4.5 + (2\times 0.35^2))\omega$

$1.75 = [4.5 + 0.245]\omega$

$1.75 = 4.745\omega$

$\omega = 0.37 rad/s$

so the final angular speed will be 0.37 rad/s

Which is more reliable—using a manual stop watch or using light gates? Explain.

Kitty [74]

Light gates are more reliable. When using a manual stop watch, it is difficult to stop it at an exact time. A light gate is able to detect when an object passes through a 'gate' with the infrared transmitter and receiver.

The histogram below shows the number of downloads of a song over time.

Allisa [31]

Given data:

It is a graphical display where the data is grouped in to ranges

A diagram consists rectangles, whose area is proportional to frequency of a variable and whose width is equal to the class interval.

It is an accurate representation of the distribution of numerical data.

From Figure:

Each box in the graph (small rectangle box) is assumed to be one download. So, in the graph the time between 8 p.m to 9 p.m, the number of downloads are 8.75 approximately (because the last box is incomplete, therefore 8 complete boxes and 9th is more than half).

So, We conclude that the total number of downloads are approximately 9 in the time span of 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.

What is the length a rubberband was stretched if it has a spring constant of 5700N/m and is currently holding 8600J OF POTENTIAL

lozanna [386]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m$

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

$\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2$

Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.

Solving for Δx:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\swrt{\frac{2PE}{k}}$

Substituting:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{\frac{2*8600}{5700}}$

Calculating:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{3.0175}$

$\boxed{\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m}$

A box is being pulled to the right. What is the direction of the gravitational force?

lapo4ka [179]

The correct answer to the question is vertically downward i.e towards the centre of earth.

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the box is pulled to the right.

Hence, the direction of the applied force is towards right.

We are asked to determine the direction of the gravitational force that acts on the body.

Before answering this question, first we gave to understand the gravitational force of earth.

Any body present on the surface of earth is attracted with the force of gravity of earth ( gravitational force ) towards its centre. It is equivalent to the weight of the body.

The force of gravity is always directed towards the centre of earth irrespective of the nature of applied force.

Hence, the direction of the gravitational force which acts on the box is vertically downward.
