In what sense is energy from coal actually solar energy

1 answer:

Jobisdone [24]4 years ago

5 0

Explanation:

The energy stored in coal is directly form the sun which is solar energy. This energy are preserved in carbon atoms and they originate from the life processes of a plant.

Plants carry out photosynthesis and produce their energy by this process.
Green plants have special adapted structures by which they trap solar energy from the sun and use it to produce their own food.
The food is used by plant for nutrition and life activities.
In essence the solar energy is converted to chemical energy in plants.
To form coal, when plants are rapidly buried their organic matter is preserved from decay by combination with oxygen.
More burial preserves the complex molecules that have stored during photosynthesis.
The carbon eventually aggregates for coal.

A 0.29 kg particle moves in an xy plane according to x(t) = - 19 + 1 t - 3 t3 and y(t) = 20 + 7 t - 9 t2, with x and y in meters

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 7.76 N$

Part b)

$\theta = -137.7 degree$

Part c)

$\theta = -127.7 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that acceleration is rate of change in velocity of the object

So here we know that

$x = -19 + t - 3t^3$

$y = 20 + 7t - 9t^2$

Part a)

differentiate x and y two times with respect to time to find the acceleration

$a_x = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(-19 + t - 3t^3)$

$a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +1 - 9t^2)$

$a_x = -18t$

$a_y = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(20 + 7t - 9t^2)$

$a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +7 - 18t)$

$a_y = -18$

Now the acceleration of the object is given as

$\vec a = (-18t)\hat i + (-18)\hat j$

at t= 1.1 s we have

$\vec a = -19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j$

now the net force of the object is given as

$\vec F = m\vec a$

$\vec F = (0.29 kg)(-19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j)$

$\vec F = -5.74 \hat i - 5.22 \hat j$

now magnitude of the force will be

$F = \sqrt{5.74^2 + 5.22^2} = 7.76 N$

Part b)

Direction of the force is given as

$tan\theta = \frac{F_y}{F_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{-5.22}{-5.74}$

$\theta = -137.7 degree$

Part c)

For velocity of the particle we have

$v_x = \frac{dx}[dt}$

$v_x = (0 +1 - 9t^2)$

$v_y = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$v_y = (0 +7 - 18t)$

now at t = 1.1 s

$\vec v = -9.89\hat i - 12.8 \hat j$

now the direction of the velocity is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{-12.8}{-9.89})$

$\theta = -127.7 degree$

A 120 g, 8.0-cm-diameter gyroscope is spun at 1000 rpm and allowed to precess. What is the precession period?

dolphi86 [110]

To solve this problem we will derive the expression of the precession period from the moment of inertia of the given object. We will convert the units that are not in SI, and finally we will find the precession period with the variables found. Let's start defining the moment of inertia.

$I = MR^2$

Here,

M = Mass

R = Radius of the hoop

The precession frequency is given as

$\Omega = \frac{Mgd}{I\omega}$

Here,

M = Mass

g= Acceleration due to gravity

d = Distance of center of mass from pivot

I = Moment of inertia

$\omega$ = Angular velocity

Replacing the value for moment of inertia

$\Omega= \frac{MgR}{MR^2 \omega}$

$\Omega = \frac{g}{R\omega}$

The value for our angular velocity is not in SI, then

$\omega = 1000rpm (\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev})(\frac{1min}{60s})$

$\omega = 104.7rad/s$

Replacing our values we have that

$\Omega = \frac{9.8m/s^2}{(8*10^{-2}m)(104.7rad)}$

$\Omega = 1.17rad/s$

The precession frequency is

$\Omega = \frac{2\pi rad}{T}$

$T = \frac{2\pi rad}{\Omega}$

$T = \frac{2\pi}{1.17}$

$T = 5.4 s$

Therefore the precession period is 5.4s
