Answer:

Wind is the primary renewable resource used for electric power generation in the state. In 2019, wind provided 97% of the state's renewable energy generation, and Illinois was sixth in the nation in utility-scale (1 megawatt or greater) wind capacity, with about 5,200 megawatts online.

A box is placed on a conveyor belt that moves with a constant speed of 1.05 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the

Answer:

The box stops in 0.139 seconds, after moving 7.29cm (0.0729m) backwards relative to the belt.

Explanation:

As the box is initially at rest relative to the earth, it is moving backwards with a speed of 1.05m/s relative to the belt. Then, the frictional force acts on the box to make it stop relative to the belt. So, we first have to write the equations of motion of the box in each axis:

$x: f_k=ma\implies a=\frac{f_k}{m} \\\\y: N-mg=0\implies N=mg$

Since the frictional force $f_k$ is equal to $f_k=\mu_k N=\mu_k mg$ , then we have that the acceleration is:

$a=\frac{\mu_k mg}{m}=\mu_k g$

Now, from the definition of acceleration we get:

$a=\frac{v-v_0}{t}\implies t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}$

And, as the final velocity is zero because the box gets to a stop, we have:

$t=-\frac{v_0}{a}=-\frac{v_0}{\mu_k g}$

(Don't worry about the negative sign. It will disappear because the initial velocity is also negative, since we take the box initially moving backwards)

Then, plugging in the given values, we calculate the time:

$t=-\frac{(-1.05m/s)}{0.770(9.81m/s^{2})}=0.139s$

In words, the time the box takes to stop sliding relative to the belt is 0.139s.

The displacement of the box in this time, is given by the kinematics formula:

$v^{2}=v_0^{2}+2ax\implies x=-\frac{v_0^{2}}{2\mu_kg}$

Finally, we calculate the displacement:

$x=-\frac{(1.05m/s)^{2} }{2(0.770)(9.81m/s^2)}=-0.0729m=-7.29cm$

This means that the box moves 7.29cm backwards relative to the belt.

A person in the back of a pick-up moving at 20 m/s relative to the Earth, throws a baseball with a speed of 15 m/s in a directio

Bumek [7]

Answer:

This is known as a Galilean transformation where

V' = V - U

Where the primed frame is the Earth frame and the unprimed frame is the frame moving with respect to the moving frame

V - speed of object in the unprimed frame

U - speed of primed frame with respect to the unprimed frame

Here we have:

V = -15 m/s speed of ball in the moving frame (the truck)

U = -20 m/s speed of primed (rest) frame with respect to moving frame

So V' = -15 - (-20) = 5 m/s

It may help if you draw a vector representing the moving frame and then add

a vector representing the speed of the ball in the moving frame.

During the internal examination, the pathologist drains the intestines, removes any undigested food and feces, and examines the contents of the stomach. This examination could give the pathologist clues of the time of death, and the location of death. The process of digesting and defecation vary from person to person, the entire process is generally considered to take approximately 40 hours in adults
