Describe how a wind turbine generates energy.

1 answer:

5 0

The wind Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.

Heather and Jerry are standing on a bridge 49 mm above a river. Heather throws a rock straight down with a speed of 17 m/sm/s .

lara [203]

Answer:

3.467 s

Explanation:

given,

distance , d = 49 mm = 0.049 m

initial speed of the of the rock, v = 17 m/s

time taken by the Heather rock to reach water

using equation of motion

$s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

taking downward as negative

$-0.049 = -17 t -\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2$

4.9 t² + 17 t - 0.049 = 0

now,

$t_1 = \dfrac{-(17)\pm \sqrt{17^2 - 4\times 4.9 \times (-0.049)}}{2\times 4.9}$

t₁ = -3.47 s , 0.0028 s

rejecting negative values

t₁ = 0.0028 s

now, time taken by the ball of Jerry

using equation of motion

$s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

taking downward as negative

$-0.049 = 17 t -\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2$

4.9 t² - 17 t - 0.049 = 0

now,

$t_2 = \dfrac{-(-17)\pm \sqrt{17^2 - 4\times 4.9 \times (-0.049)}}{2\times 4.9}$

t₂ = 3.47 s ,-0.0028 s

rejecting negative values

t₂ = 3.47 s

now, time elapsed is = t₂ - t₁ = 3.47 - 0.0028 = 3.467 s

An artificial satellite is moving in a circular orbit of radius 24,600 km. Calculate its speed if it takes 12hours to revolve ar

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

the speed of the satellite is 12,880.53 km/h

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular orbit, r = 24,600 km

time taken to revolve around Earth, t = 12 hours

The circumference of the satellite is calculated as;

L = 2πr

L = 2π x 24,600 km

L = 49,200π km

L = 154,566.36 km

The speed of the satellite;

v = L/t

v = 154,566.36 / 12

v = 12,880.53 km/h

Therefore, the speed of the satellite is 12,880.53 km/h

A violinist is tuning her instrument to concert A (440 Hz). She plays the note while listening to an electronically generated to

Soloha48 [4]

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to beat frequency, i.e., The number of those wobbles per second.

The equation that describes the beat frequency is

$f_{beat} = |f_2-f_1|$

For our given case we have that the frequency of the instrument is 440Hz and the Beat frequency is 5Hz therefore,

A) The frequency of the violin would be given by

$f_{beat} = |f_2-f_1|$

$5Hz = |f_2-440Hz|$

$f_2 = 440 \pm 5$

$f_2 = 445Hz or 435Hz$

B) <em>The violinist must loosen the string.</em> As the tightening increases the frequency, thereby increasing the number of beats from 5 to 6, i. e, on thightening the string, the frequency further increases as high frequency will be produced by short trings.
