Answer:

Though lightning can be harvested in a safe manor, it is not very practical in many areas. Not all places get lightning storms in high amounts, so those locations would not apply, but those who do see frequent lightning can indeed use it to power. Using tall metal beams can attract the lightning and can be escorted into a power converter much like the ones used for nuclear energy.

A 13 kg hanging sculpture is suspended by a 95-cm-long, 5.0 g steel wire. When the wind blows hard, the wire hums at its fundame

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

$f=81.96 \ Hz$

Explanation:

Givens

$L=95cm$

$m_{sculpture} =13kg$

$m_{wire}=5g$

The frequency is defined by

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

Where $v$ is the speed of the wave in the string and $\lambda$ is its wave length.

The wave length is defined as $\lambda = 2L = 2(0.95m)=1.9m$

Now, to find the speed, we need the tension of the wire and its linear mass density

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }$

Where $\mu=\frac{0.005kg}{0.95m}= 5.26 \times 10^{-3}$ and the tension is defined as $T=m_{sculpture} g=13kg(9.81 m/s^{2} )=127.53N$

Replacing this value, the speed is

$v=\sqrt{\frac{127.53N}{5.26 \times 10^{-3} } }=155.71 m/s$

Then, we replace the speed and the wave length in the first equation

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\\f=\frac{155.71 m/s}{1.9m}\\ f=81.96Hz$

Therefore, the frequency is $f=81.96 \ Hz$

Andrew [12]

Explanation:

Let us assume that forces acting at point B are as follows.

$\sum F_{x} = 0$

$T + F_{AB} Sin 60$ = 0 ...... (1)

$\sum F_{y}$ = 0

$F_{AB} Cos 60 + W$ = 0 .......... (2)

Hence, formula for allowable normal stress of cable is as follows.

$\sigma_{allow} = \frac{T}{A}$

T = $(20 \times 1000) \frac{\pi}{4} \times (0.5)^{2}$

= 3925 kip

From equation (1), $F_{AB}Sin (60^{o})$ = -3925

$F_{AB} \times -0.304 8$ = -3925

$F_{AB}$ = 12877.29 kip

From equation (2), -12877.29 (Cos 60) + W = 0

$-12877.29 kip \times \frac{1}{2} + W$ = 0

W = 6438.64 kip

Thus, we can conclude that greatest weight of the crate is 6438.64 kip.

A wagon is rolling forward on level ground. Friction is negligible. The person sitting in the wagon is holding a rock. The total

Lynna [10]

Explanation:

Given Data

Total mass=93.5 kg

Rock mass=0.310 kg

Initially wagon speed=0.540 m/s

rock speed=16.5 m/s

To Find

The speed of the wagon

Solution

As the wagon rolls, momentum is given as

P=mv

where

m is mass

v is speed

put the values

P=93.5kg × 0.540 m/s

P =50.49 kg×m/s

Now we have to find the momentum of rock

momentum of rock = mv

momentum of rock = (0.310kg)×(16.5 m/s)

momentum of rock =5.115 kg×m/s

From the conservation of momentum we can find the wagons momentum So

wagon momentum=50.49 -5.115 = 45.375 kg×m/s

Speed of wagon = wagon momentum/(total mass-rock mass)

Speed of wagon=45.375/(93.5-0.310)

Speed of wagon= 0.487 m/s

Throwing rock backward,

momentum of wagon = 50.49+5.115 = 55.605 kg×m/s

Speed of wagon = wagon momentum/(total mass-rock mass)

speed of wagon = 55.605 kg×m/s/(93.5kg-0.310kg)

speed of wagon= 0.5967 m/s

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

6.93 km/h

Explanation:

To calculate her average speed, we need the "speed" formula, which is:

average speed = distance / time

You plug in your numbers and it will give you the answer.

Speed = 4.5km/0.65hr

= 6.923 km/h
