Answer:

276.5 m/s^2

Explanation:

The initial angular velocity of the turbine is

\omega=0.626 rev/s \cdot 2\pi rad/rev =3.93 rad/s

The length of the blade is

r = 17.9 m

So the centripetal acceleration is given by

a=\omega^2 r

At the instant t = 0,

\omega=3.93 rad/s

So the centripetal acceleration of the tip of the blades is

a=(3.93 rad/s)^2 (17.9 m)=276.5 m/s^2

A hockey stick of mass ms and length L is at rest on the ice (which is assumed to be frictionless). A puck with mass mp hits the
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

L = mp*v₀*(ms*D) / (ms + mp)

Explanation:

Given info

ms = mass of the hockey stick

uis = 0 (initial speed of the hockey stick before the collision)

xis = D (initial position of center of mass of the hockey stick before the collision)

mp = mass of the puck

uip = v₀ (initial speed of the puck before the collision)

xip = 0 (initial position of center of mass of the puck before the collision)

If we apply

Ycm = (ms*xis + mp*xip) / (ms + mp)

⇒  Ycm = (ms*D + mp*0) / (ms + mp)

⇒  Ycm = (ms*D) / (ms + mp)

Now, we can apply the equation

L = m*v*R

where m = mp

v = v₀

R = Ycm

then we have

L = mp*v₀*(ms*D) / (ms + mp)

Water is drawn from a well in a bucket tied to the end of a rope whose other end wraps around a solid cylinder of mass 50 kg and
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

\alpha=78.4\ rad.s^{-2}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of solid cylinder, m=50\ kg
  • diameter of cylinder, d=0.25\ m
  • mass of bucket of water, m_w=20\ kg

<em>When the bucket is released to fall in the well, it fall under the acceleration due to gravity.</em>

We have formula for angular acceleration as:

\alpha=\frac{g}{r}

where:

g = acceleration due to gravity

r = radius of the cylinder

\aplha=\frac{9.8}{0.125}

\alpha=78.4\ rad.s^{-2}

What does the left y-axis show?
vivado [14]

Answer:

The correct option is;

a- sea surface temperature anomaly, in degrees Celsius

Explanation:

From the diagram related to the question we have two graphs super imposed of Sea surface temperature anomaly, in degrees Celsius and cholera incidence anomaly (%) both plotted against time in years.

On the left the y-axis represents the sea surface temperature anomaly while on the right, the y-axis represents the cholera incidence anomaly (%).

The display of the graph shows the sea surface temperature anomaly in blue.

A real power supply can be modeled as an ideal EMF of 60 Volts in series with an internal resistance. The voltage across the ter
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

5 ohms

Explanation:

Given:

EMF of the ideal battery (E) = 60 V

Voltage across the terminals of the battery (V) = 40 V

Current across the terminals (I) = 4 A

Let the internal resistance be 'r'.

Now, we know that, the voltage drop in the battery is given as:

V_d=Ir

Therefore, the voltage across the terminals of the battery is given as:

V= E-V_d\\\\V=E-Ir

Now, rewriting in terms of 'r', we get:

Ir=E-V\\\\r=\frac{E-V}{I}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'r'. This gives,

r=\frac{60-40}{4}\\\\r=\frac{20}{4}\\\\r=5\ ohms

Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is 5 ohms.
