On a windy day, the wind turbine transfers 78 W of power. Calculate the amount of energy the turbine transfers in 10s.​
tangare [24]

Answer:

Energy = 780 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 78 Watts

Time = 10 seconds

To find the energy transferred;

Energy refers to the amount or quantity of power which is being consumed by an individual, group of people or organization over a specific period of time.

Mathematically, energy is given by the formula;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 78 * 10

Energy = 780 Joules

Therefore, the amount of energy the turbine transferred is 780 Joules

The law of reflection says that the angle of incidence is
nekit [7.7K]
The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Furthermore, the law of reflection states that the incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal all lie in the same plane.

hope this helps :)

Suppose light from a 632.8 nm helium-neon laser shines through a diffraction grating ruled at 520 lines/mm. How many bright line
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

1 bright fringe every 33 cm.

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the position of the m-th order brigh line (constructive interference) produced by diffraction of light through a diffraction grating is:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}

where

m is the order of the maximum

\lambda is the wavelength of the light

D is the distance of the screen

d is the separation between two adjacent slit

Here we have:

\lambda=632.8 nm = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m is the wavelength of the light

D = 1 m is the distance of the screen (not given in the problem, so we assume it to be 1 meter)

n=520 lines/mm is the number of lines per mm, so the spacing between two lines is

d=\frac{1}{n}=\frac{1}{520}=1.92\cdot 10^{-3} mm = 1.92\cdot 10^{-6} m

Therefore, substituting m = 1, we find:

y=\frac{(632.8\cdot 10^{-9})(1)}{1.92\cdot 10^{-6}}=0.330 m

So, on the distant screen, there is 1 bright fringe every 33 cm.
