Answer:

The turbine is rotated and rotates the generator to produce electricity.

Explanation:

Within a turbine enters the superheated steam which is at high pressure and high temperature, this steam is previously formed in the boiler when the steam enters the turbine hits each one of the blades of the turbine making it rotate at a given speed, the turbine shaft is coupled to the shaft of an electric generator and thus generates electricity.

It is also important to say that when the steam comes out of the turbine comes out at low pressure, this way the internal operating process is carried out within the turbine.

The main purpose of an air bag is to stop a passenger during a car accident in a greater amount of time than if the air bag were

Simora [160]

Answer:

a) 45571 N

b) 22786 N

c) 4557 N

Explanation:

Since the goal of the airbag is helping the person to stop after the collision in a greater time, this means that the change in momentum must finish when this is just zero.
In other words, the change in momentum, must be equal to the initial one, but with opposite sign.

$\Delta p = - p_{o} = -m*v = -55 kg*29m/s = -1595 kgm/s (1)$

Now, just applying the original form of Newton's 2nd Law, we know that this change in momentum must be equal to the impulse needed to stop the person:

$\Delta p = F* \Delta t (2)$

So, as we know the magnitude of Δp from (1) and we have different Δt as givens, we can get the different values of F (in magnitude) required to stop the person for each one of them, as follows:

$F_{1} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{1}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.035s} = 45571 N (3)$

$F_{2} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{2}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.07s} = 22786 N (4)$

$F_{3} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{3}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.35s} = 4557 N (5)$

An RL circuit contains a resistor with R = 6800 Ω and an inductor with L = 2300 µH. If the impedance of this circuit is 160,000

Rainbow [258]

| Impedance | = √ [R² +(ωL)²]

R² = 6800² = 4.624 x 10⁷

(ωL)² = (2 · π · f · 2.3 · 10⁻³)²

= 2.0884 x 10⁻⁴ f²

| Z | = √[ (4.624 x 10⁷) + (2.0884 x 10⁻⁴ f²) ] = 1.6 x 10⁵

   (1.6 x 10⁵)² = (4.624 x 10⁷) + (2.0884 x 10⁻⁴ f²)

   (2.56 x 10¹⁰) - (4.624 x 10⁷) = 2.0884 x 10⁻⁴ f²

Frequency² = (2.56 x 10¹⁰ - 4.624 x 10⁷) / 2.0884 x 10⁻⁴

      = 2.555 x 10¹⁰ / 2.0884 x 10⁻⁴

=    1.224 x 10¹⁴

Obviously, I must have picked up some rounding errors
in the course of my calculation.
