The world’s largest wind turbine has blades that are 80 m long and makes 1 revolution every 5.7 seconds. What is the velocity fo

r one of the blades? (THIS IS physics, CIRCULAR MOTION)?

Answer:

The free end of the blade has a tangential velocity of about 88.19 m/s

Explanation:

The angular velocity of the blades is $2 \pi /5.7\,\,rad/sec$

since the blades are 80 m long, then the tangential velocity of the free end of the blade is:

$v_{tan} \approx 88.19\,\,m/s$

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at

inn [45]

Answer:

a) $v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}$

b) $H=8.9605\,m$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of bullet, $m=4.97\times 10^{-3}\,kg$

compression of the spring, $\Delta x=0.0476\,m$

force required for the given compression, $F=9.12 \,N$

(a)

We know

$F=m.a$

where:

a= acceleration

$9.12=4.97\times 10^{-3}\times a$

$a\approx 1835\,m.s^{-2}\\$

we have:

initial velocity, $u=0\,m.s^{-1}$

Using the eq. of motion:

$v^2=u^2+2a.\Delta x$

where:

v= final velocity after the separation of spring with the bullet.

$v^2= 0^2+2\times 1835\times 0.0476$

$v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}$

(b)

Now, in vertical direction we take the above velocity as the initial velocity "u"

so,

$u=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}$

∵At maximum height the final velocity will be zero

$v=0\,m.s^{-1}$

Using the equation of motion:

$v^2=u^2-2g.h$

where:

h= height

g= acceleration due to gravity

$0^2=13.2171^2-2\times 9.8\times h$

$h=8.9129\,m$

is the height from the release position of the spring.

So, the height from the latched position be:

$H=h+\Delta x$

$H=8.9129+0.0476$

$H=8.9605\,m$

If an object accelerates from rest, what will its velocity be after 1.3 s if it has a constant acceleration of 9.1 m/s^2?

HACTEHA [7]

$\text{Given that,}\\\\\text{Initial velocity,} ~v_0 = 0~ \text{m~s}^{-1}\\\\\text{Time, t = 1.3~sec}\\\\\text{Acceleration, a = 9.1 m s}^{-2}\\\\\\\\\text{Velocity,}\\\\v = v_0 +at\\\\\implies v = 0 + 9.1 \times 1.3 = 11.83~~ \text{m~s}^{-1}$
