Modern wind turbines generate electricity from wind power. The large, massive blades have a large moment of inertia and carry a

great amount of angular momentum when rotating. A wind turbine has a total of 3 blades. Each blade has a mass of m = 5500 kg distributed uniformly along its length and extends a distance r = 46 m from the center of rotation. The turbine rotates with a frequency of f = 11 rpm.
Required:
a. Calculate the total moment of inertia of the wind turbine about its axis, in units of kilogram meters squared.
b. Calculate the angular momentum of the wind turbine, in units of kilogram meters squared per second.

Answer:

Explanation:

moment of inertia of each blade which is similar to rod rotating about its one end

= 1/3 ml²

moment of inertia of 3 blades = ml²

= 5500 x 46²

I = 11638 x 10³ kg m²

angular velocity = 2πn where n is rotation per second

n = 11 / 60

angular velocity = 2π x 11/60

= 1.1513 rad /s

angular momentum

= moment of inertia x angular velocity

=  11638 x 10³ x 1.1513

= 13399 x 10³ kg m² per second.

The ability of your joints and muscles to move in their full range of motion is called
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Dynamic flexibility

Explanation:

Dynamic flexibility can be generally defined as the ability of the body muscles and joints to move in full range of motion. High flexibility in these joints and muscles leads to the decreasing pain and injury in different parts of the body.

Proper warm up exercises are needed to be carried out that involves both the combination of controlling movements and stretching of the body, and this directly enhances the dynamic flexibility of the body.

The athletes and sports persons possesses a good dynamic flexibility of their body as they carry our different types of body exercises.

A car, starting from the origin, travels
sweet [91]

Answer:

The net displacement of the car is 3 km West

Explanation:

Please see the attached drawing to understand the car's trajectory: First in the East direction for 4 km (indicated by the green arrow that starts at the origin (zero), and stops at position 4 on the right (East).

Then from that position, it moves back towards the West going over its initial path, it goes through the origin and continues for 3 more km completing a moving to the West a total of 7 km. This is indicated in the drawing with an orange trace that end in position 3 to the left (West) of zero.

So, its NET displacement considered from the point of departure (origin at zero) to the final point where the trip ended, is 3 km to the west.

Find the displacement in meters a runner would travel in 5 hours at an average velocity of 12km/h to the southwest
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

60,000m

Explanation:

Convert km/h to m/s by multiplying with 1000/3600.

Convert hours to seconds by multiplying with 3600.

Because displacement is a vector quantity and deals with the shortest distance between points, simply plug it into the equation s=vt.

Explain why some of the tree get detached from a tree if we vigorously shake it's Branch.​
Rasek [7]

Answer:

When a tree is vigorously shaken, the branches of the tree come in motion but the leaves tend to continue in their state of rest due to inertia of rest. As a result of this, leaves get separated from the branches of the tree and hence fall down.
