Answer:

1767Kw

Explanation:

Velocity of wind = 10 m/s

diameter of the blades= 60m

ρ= air density = 1.25 kg/m3

Acceleration due to gravity= 9.81 m/s^2

Mechanical energy of the wind can be calculated using the expression below

Energy= (e*m)

= ρ V A e............eqn(1)

Where A= area

ρ= air density

e= wind energy per unit mass of air

e= (v^2)/2..........eqn(2)

If we substitute the values into eqn (2) we have

e= [(10)^2]/2

=50J/Kg

But Area=A= (πd^2)/4

Area= ( π× 60^2)/4

Area=2827.8m^2

If we input substitute the values into eqn (1) we have

Energy= 1.25 ×10 × 50×2827.8

=1767145.7W

We can convert to kilo watt

=1767145.7W/ 1000

= 1767Kw

Hence, the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power generation potential of a wind turbine is 1767Kw

A 28 g bullet pierces a sand bag 29 cm thick. If the initial bullet velocity was 55 m/s and it emerged from the sandbag with 18
Bumek [7]

The correct answer to the question is 130.4 N.

CALCULATION;

The mass of the bullet is given as m = 28 gram = 0. 028 kg.

The initial velocity of the bullet u = 55 m/s

The final velocity of the bullet  v = 18 m/s.

The distance covered by the bullet through the sand bag s = 29 cm.

                                                                                                   = 0.29 m

Let the acceleration of the bullet is a .

From equation of kinematics, we know that-

                                         v^2-u^2=\ 2as

                                        ⇒ a=\ \frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

                                               =\ \frac{(18)^2-(55)^2}{2\times 0.29}\ m/s^2

                                              =\ -4656.897\ m/s^2

The negative sign is used due to the fact that force is opposing in nature. Its velocity is decreasing with time.

From Newton's second law of motion, we know that net force on a body is equal to the product of mass with acceleration.

Mathematically F = ma.

Hence, the frictional force exerted on the bullet is calculated as -

                                              F = m × a

                                                 = 0.028 × (-4656.897) N

                                                 = -130.4 N                     [ANS]

Here, N ( newton) stands for the unit of force.

Which of the following is a device designed to open an overloaded circuit and prevent overheating?
spin [16.1K]
Circuit breaker is a device that is designed to open an overloaded circuit and prevent overheating. The correct option in regards to the given question is option "a". The main purpose of the circuit breaker is to disconnect the defective switch from the circuit as soon as any problem arises. This helps in preventing any kind of major accident. Overheating can result in a big accident and the circuit breaker is the device that senses the overheating and disconnects the switch before any major incident. It is an automated system that acts as a protective devise.
