How is wind generated?

Physics
1 answer:
just olya [345]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun, variations in the earth's surface, and rotation of the earth. ... Wind turbines convert the energy in wind to electricity by rotating propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor turns the drive shaft, which turns an electric generator

Alona [7]

Answer:

Power=720[watt]

Explanation:

We need to remember the definition of mechanical work which is equal to the product of the force applied by the distance traveled.

In this problem, we have to find the power which is defined as the work divided into the time in which such work is performed. This way if we have the displacement and the time, this will be the speed with which this work is done.

Power= W/T\\T=time [s]\\W=work [J]\\Power = F*V\\where\\V=velocity [m/s]\\Power=1800 * 0.4 = 720 [watt]

Can someone please help me ​

<em>F</em> = 153 N

\theta = 11.3°

Explanation:

Let us define first our directional convention. Anything pointing up or to the right is considered positive and anything pointing down or to the left is considered negative. Now let's look at the components F_{x} and F_{y}:

F_{x} = 350 N - 200 N = 150 N

F_{y} = 180 N - 150 N = 30 N

The magnitude of the resultant force <em>F</em> is given by

F = \sqrt{F_{x}^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}

\:\:\:\:\:\:= \sqrt{(150\:N)^{2}+(30\:N)^{2}}

\:\:\:\:\:\:=153\:N

To find the direction \theta, we use

\tan \theta = \dfrac{F_{y}}{F_{x}}=\dfrac{30\:N}{150\:N}=0.2

or

\theta = \tan^{-1}(0.2) = 11.3°
