Answer:

0.641 seconds

Explanation:

Distance (d) = 1.0 km

Using the relation :

Speed = distance / time

Time = distance / speed

Speed of sound in seawater is about 1560 m/s

Distance = 1.0km =

1km = 1000m

Time = 1000 / 1560

Time = 0.6410256

Time = 0.641 s

A high-pass filter consists of a 1.66 μF capacitor in series with a 80.0 Ω resistor. The circuit is driven by an AC source with

Julli [10]

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitor $C=1.66\ \mu F$

Resistor $R=80.0\ \Omega$

Peak voltage = 5.10 V

(A). We need to calculate the crossover frequency

Using formula of frequency

$f_{c}=\dfrac{1}{2\pi R C}$

Where, R = resistor

C = capacitor

Put the value into the formula

$f_{c}=\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times80.0\times1.66\times10^{-6}}$

$f_{c}=1198.45\ Hz$

(B). We need to calculate the $V_{R}$ when $f = \dfrac{1}{2f_{c}}$

Using formula of $V_{R}$

$V_{R}=V_{0}(\dfrac{R}{\sqrt{R^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi fC})^2}})$

Put the value into the formula

$V_{R}=5.10\times(\dfrac{80.0}{\sqrt{(80.0)^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times\dfrac{1}{2}\times1198.45\times1.66\times10^{-6}})^2}})$

$V_{R}=2.280\ Volt$

(C). We need to calculate the $V_{R}$ when $f = f_{c}$

Using formula of $V_{R}$

$V_{R}=5.10\times(\dfrac{80.0}{\sqrt{(80.0)^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times1198.45\times1.66\times10^{-6}})^2}})$

$V_{R}=3.606\ Volt$

(D). We need to calculate the $V_{R}$ when $f = 2f_{c}$

Using formula of $V_{R}$

$V_{R}=5.10\times(\dfrac{80.0}{\sqrt{(80.0)^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times2\times1198.45\times1.66\times10^{-6}})^2}})$

$V_{R}=4.561\ Volt$

Hence, This is the required solution.

This problem follows up on a discussion from lecture. A wind turbine with an efficiency of 45% for converting wind energy into e

Volgvan

Answer:

4.1 m

Explanation:

10 kW = 10000 W

20mi/h = 20*1.6 km/mi = 32 km/h = 32 * 1000 (m/km) *(1/3600) hr/s = 8.89 m/s

The power yielded by the wind turbine can be calculated using the following formula

$P = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^3 A C_p$

where $\rho = 1.2 kg/m^3$ is the air density, v = 8.89 m/s is the wind speed, A is the swept area and $C_p = 0.45$ is the efficiency

$10000 = 0.5 * 1.2 * 8.89^3 * A * 0.45$

$10000 = 190A$

$A = 10000 / 190 = 52.7 m^2$

The swept area is a circle with radius r being the blade length

$\pi r^2 = A = 52.7$

$r^2 = 52.7 / \pi = 16.79$

$r = \sqrt{16.79} = 4.1 m$
