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 old rubber boot has two leaks. The top of the boot is 0.3 m higher than the leaks. What is the velocity of the water coming
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Leak 1 = 3.43 m/s

Leak 2 = 2.42 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the top of the boot is 0.3 m higher than the leaks. 

Let height H = 0.3m and the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

From the figure, the angle of the leak 1 will be approximately equal to 45 degrees. While the leak two can be at 90 degrees.

Using the third equation of motion under gravity, we can calculate the velocity of leak 1 and 2

Find the attached files for the solution and figure

In a electrically natural atom of any element there are equal numbers of
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:  Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion.

When a person falls from certain height on cemented floor, he receives more injuries why​
monitta

Explanation:

When a man falls on a hard cemented floor his momentum reduced to zero in a very short time and hurt the man. Whereas when a man falls on a heap of sand. As sand can compress, it takes longer time for the man to hit the ground (or hard surface)
