How can we produce energy by turning a turbine?​

Physics

maw [93]3 years ago
7 0
Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.

I NEED HELP I AM SO CONFUSED, WILL GIVE BRAIN.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

210

Explanation:

A ball rolls horizontally off the cliff at a speed of 30 m/s. It takes 7 seconds for the ball to hit the ground. What is the height of the cliff and the horizontal distance traveled by the ball?

S = (1/2)*9.8 m/s^2 * 7^2 = 240.1 m if the ball is very dense so air resistance, and therefore terminal velocity, can be ignored.

S = v * t = 30 m/s * 7 s = 210 m for the horizontal distance, again assuming negligible air resistance.

How are lasers used to determine the distance from earth to the moon?
mezya [45]
A beam of laser is directed at a reflecting surface put on the moon when the beam of laser is reflected a receiver on the each measure the time since the beam was sent till it was received. Laser is simply light so it has constant velocity in vacuum ~ air  (c = 3 x 10^8 m/s)

to find the distance:

t : time measured between launching the beam and receiving it 

d : distance

d = ct

How does a heat pump resemble a refrigeration system?
REY [17]
A heat pump is a device that is capable of transferring heat energy from a source of heat to what is known as the heat sink. It also moves thermal energy in the opposite direction of a spontaneous heat transfer through heat absorption from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer space.

When a heat pump is being utilized for heating, it employs the same principle with that of the refrigeration cycle used by an air conditioner or a refrigerator, but in the opposite direction since it releases heat into a conditioned space rather than the surrounding environment. Moreover, heat pump resembles much as refrigeration since it has the same components with the latter except for the presence of a reverse valve.

A bus is traveling with a uniform acceleration of 2.75 meters/second2. If the initial velocity of the bus is 16.5 meters/second,
Kaylis [27]
<span>The velocity will be 41.25 m/s2 after 9 seconds. To find velocity after a specific time period, multiply the acceleration (2.75) times the number of seconds (9) to receive 24.75 m/s, then add that to the initial velocity of 16.5 m/s. 24.75 + 16.5 = 41.25 m/s2.</span>
