A wind turbine is rotating counterclockwise at 0.5 rev/s and slows to a stop in 10 s. Its blades are 20 m in length. (a) What is

the angular acceleration of the turbine? (b) What is the centripetal acceleration of the tip of the blades at t = 0 s? (c) What is the magnitude and direction of the total linear acceleration of the tip of the blades at t = 0 s?

Answer:

-0.314 rad/s²

197.39 m/s²

197.49 m/s² and 1.822° counterclockwise.

Explanation:

\omega_f = Final angular velocity

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity

\alpha = Angular acceleration

\theta = Angle of rotation

t = Time taken

R = Radius = 20 m

\omega_i=0.5\times 2\pi\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=\pi

\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{0-\pi}{10}\\\Rightarrow a=-0.314\ rad/s^2

Angular acceleration of the turbine is -0.314 rad/s²

Centripetal acceleration

a_c=\omega_i^2R\\\Rightarrow a_c=(\pi)^2\times 20\\\Rightarrow a_c=197.39\ m/s^2

The centripetal acceleration of the tip is 197.39 m/s²

Tangential acceleration

a_t=\alpha R\\\Rightarrow a_t=-0.314\times 20\\\Rightarrow a_t=-6.28\ m/s^2

Acceleration

a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}\\\Rightarrow a=\sqrt{197.39^2+(-6.28)^2}\\\Rightarrow a=197.49\ m/s^2

\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{|a_t|}{|a_c|}\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}\frac{6.28}{197.39}\\\Rightarrow \theta=1.822^{\circ}

Magnitude and direction of the total linear acceleration of the tip of the blades is 197.49 m/s² and 1.822° counterclockwise.

What is the velocity of a wave that has a wavelength of 20 meters and frequency of 0.5<br> Hz?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

recall that velocity is related to wavelength and frequency by the formula

v = fλ

where v = velocity, f = frequency and λ= wavelength

Simply substitute these into the formula:

v = fλ

v = (0.5)(20)

v = 10 m/s

1. While John is traveling along an interstate highway, he notices a 160-mile marker as he passes through town. Later John passe
pogonyaev

Number of miles that marker shows when passes through town= 160 miles.

Number of miles that marker shows currently to John = 115 miles.

We need to find the distance between town and John's current location.

For the problem, we can clearly see that Town is at 160 miles away but when John passes the marker shows 115 miles.

So, it's just the difference between 160 miles and 115 miles.

In order to find that difference, we need to subtract those two numbers.

160miles - 115miles = 45 miles.

So, we could say the distance between town and John's current location is 45 miles.

Lelu [443]

If you do this on Earth, then the acceleration of the falling object is 9.8 m/s^2 ... NO MATTER what it's mass is.

If its mass is 10 kg, then the force pulling it down is 98.1 Newtons. Most people call that the object's "weight".
