Suppose you have a device that extracts energy from ocean breakers in direct proportion to their intensity. If the device produc

es 20.0 kW of power on a day when the breakers are 1.20 m high, how much (in kW) will it produce when they are 0.450 m high?

Answer:

2.81 kW      

Explanation:

Initial power output, P = 20.0 kW

Initial amplitude, A = 1.20 m

Final Amplitude, A = 0.450 m

Power is proportional to extracted energy which is proportional to the intensity of the wave and intensity of the wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude.

P ∝ E ∝ I ∝ A²

\frac{P'}{P}=\frac{A'^2}{A^2}

Substitute the values to find the value of power produced:

P'=\frac{0.450^2}{1.20^2}\times 20.0 kW=2.81 kW

The design of a 60.0 cm industrial turntable requires that it has a kinetic energy of 0.250 j when turning at 45.0 rpm. What mus
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The moment of inertia of the turntable about the rotation axis is 0.0225 kg.m²

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the turnable, r = 60 cm = 0.6 m

rotational kinetic energy, E = 0.25 J

angular speed of the turnable, ω = 45 rpm

The rotational kinetic energy is given as;

E_{rot} = \frac{1}{2} I \omega ^2

where;

I is the moment of inertia about the axis of rotation

ω is the angular speed in rad/s

\omega = 45 \frac{rev}{\min} \times \frac{2 \pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1 \ \min}{60 \ s} \\\\\omega = 4.712 \ rad/s

E = \frac{1}{2} I \omega ^2\\\\I = \frac{2E}{\omega ^2} \\\\I = \frac{2 \ \times \ 0.25}{(4.712)^2} \\\\I = 0.0225 \ kg.m^2

Therefore, the moment of inertia of the turntable about the rotation axis is 0.0225 kg.m²

patriot [66]

Answer:

Matter is everything that surrounds us. It has mass and occupies a place in space. Matter can be described by measuring the value of its properties; for example: density, color, mass, volume, etc.

al ser homogenea no se puede percibir con la vista pero si se le agrega acido sulfurico la reaccion hara que el hidrogeno y el oxigeno se evaporen dejando unicamente una masa negra de carbono

No, ya que, es una mezcla homogénea, es decir,  sus elementos están muy unidos mas no combinados de manera química, es posible separarlos pero con mucha dificultad, por tanto, es imposible diferenciarlos a simple vista. Se sabe que están distribuidos de manera uniforme, su estado es conocido como solución o disolución, tal como es el caso del azúcar.

The armature windings of a dc motor have a resistance of 5.0 Ω. The motor is connected to a 120-V line, and when the motor reach
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The current in the motor in this case is 13.2 A

Explanation:

Given:

Resistance R = 5 Ω

Emf E = 120 V

Induced emf E _{induced} = 108 V

When motor run at half speed due to load increased then induced emf is also reduced to half of its value

So new induced emf in our case is given by,

E_{induced }  = \frac{108}{2} = 54 V

  I = \frac{V}{R}

Where V = E - E_{Induced }

  I = \frac{120-54}{5}

  I = 13.2 A

Therefore, the current in the motor in this case is 13.2 A
