Answer:

100% of the energy entering earth's atmosphere comes from the sun. ~50% of the incoming energy is absorbed by the earth's surface i.e. the land and oceans.

What is the angular displacement of the wheel between t = 5 s and t = 15 s?

Mkey [24]

The question seems incomplete. The complete text is:

a)What is the angular displacement of the wheel between t = 5 s and t = 15 s

b)What is the angular velocity of the wheel at 15 s

And it refers to the attached figure.

a) 25 rad

The graph shown represent the angular position of the wheel at different times.

Therefore, we can simply calculate the angular displacement between two times by calculating the difference between the angular position at t2 and the angular position at t1.

At $t_1 = 5 s$ , the angular position from the graph is $\theta_1 = 100 rad$

At $t_2 = 15 s$ , the angular position from the graph is $\theta_2 = 125 rad$

Therefore, the angular displacement is

$\Delta \theta= \theta_2 - \theta_1 = 125-100 = 25 rad$

2) -5.0 rad/s

For a angular displacement vs time graph, the angular velocity at any time is simply equal to the slope of the curve at that time.

Here we want to calculate the angular velocity at t = 15 s, so we have to calculate the slope at that time.

By noting that the slope is constant in the last part of the motion, we find that the slope between 10 s and 20 s is:

$\frac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}=\frac{100 rad - 150 rad}{20 s - 10 s}=-5.0 rad/s$

This slope is constant between 10 s and 20 s, so the angular velocity of the wheel at t = 15 s

$\omega = -5.0 rad/s$

In a hydroelectric power plant, 65 m3 /s of water flows from an elevation of 90-m to a turbine-generator, where electricity is g

Mariulka [41]

The electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW

First we need to calculate the water power, it is given by the formula

WP=ρQgh

Here, ρ=1000 kg/m3 is density of water,Q is the flow rate, g is the gravity, and h is the water head

Therefore, WP=1000*65*9.81*90=57388500 W=57.38 MW

Now the overall efficiency of the hydroelectric power plant is given as

η= $\frac{electric power}{water power}$

Plugging the values in the above equation

0.84=EP/57.38

EP=48.19 MW

Therefore, the electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW.

A non-conducting sphere of radius R = 3.0 cm carries a charge Q = 2.0 mC distributed uniformly throughout its volume. At what di

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

$r =3 *\sqrt{2} = 4.24 cm$

Explanation:

given data

Radius of sphere 3.0 cm

charge Q = 2.0 m C

We know that maximum electric field is given as

$E_{MAX}= \frac{KQ}{r^{2}}$

electric field inside the sphere can be determine by using below relation

$\frac{KQ}{r^{2}}= \frac{1}{2}*\frac{KQ}{R^{2}}$

$r = \sqrt{2}R$

$r =3 *\sqrt{2} = 4.24 cm$
