Answer:

"A turbine takes the kinetic energy of a moving fluid, air in this case, and converts it to a rotary motion. As wind moves past the blades of a wind turbine, it moves or rotates the blades. These blades turn a generator."

There are Z protons in the nucleus of an atom, where Z is the atomic number of the element. An α particle carries a charge of +2

qaws [65]

Answer:

$r = 2.84 \times 10^{-14} m$

Explanation:

As per energy conservation we know that the electrostatic potential energy of the charge system is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the alpha particle

So here we can write it as

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{k(2e)(ze)}{r}$

now we know that

$m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg$

$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

z = 79

here kinetic energy of the incident alpha particle is given as

$KE = 6.4 \times 10^{-13} J$

now we have

$6.4 \times 10^{-13} = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})^2(79)}{r}$

now we have

$r = 2.84 \times 10^{-14} m$

A ball with mass of 0.050 kg is dropped from a height of h1 = 1 .5 m. It collides with the floor, then bounces up to a height of

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse of reaction force of floor = change in momentum

Velocity of impact = √ 2gh₁

= √ 2 x 9.8 x 1.5 = 5.4 m /s.

velocity of rebound = √2gh₂

= √ 2x 9.8 x 1

= 4.427 m / s.

Initial momentum = .050 x 5.4 = .27 kg m/s

Final momentum = .05 x 4.427 = .22 kg.m/s

change in momentum = .27 - .22 = .05 kg m/s

Impulse = .05 kg m /s

Impulse = force x time

force = impulse / time

.05 / .015 = 3.33 N.

kinetic energy = 1/2 m v²

Initial kinetic energy = 1/2 x .05 x 5.4²

= 0.729 J

Final Kinetic Energy =1/2 x .05 x 4.427²

= 0.489 J

Change in Kinetic energy =0 .24 J

Lost kinetic energy is due to conversion of energy into sound light etc.

Suppose we measure the energy stored in some inductor to be E when there is a current I running through it. If I double the curr

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

If I double the current in the inductor, the new total energy will become 4E (option f).

Explanation:

The coil or inductor is a passive component made of an insulated wire that stores energy in the form of a magnetic field due to its form of coiled turns of wire, through a phenomenon called self-induction. In other words, inductors store energy in the form of a magnetic field. The energy stored in the space where there is a magnetic field in the inductor is:

$E=\frac{1}{2} *L*I^{2}$

where E is Energy [J], L is Inductance [H] and I is Current [A].

If you double the current in the inductor, then the new value of the current is I'= 2*I. So replacing the new total energy is:

$E'=\frac{1}{2} *L*I'^{2}=\frac{1}{2} *L*(2*I)^{2}=\frac{1}{2} *L*4*I^{2}=4*\frac{1}{2} *L*I^{2}$

Then:

$E'=4*E$

<em><u>If I double the current in the inductor, the new total energy will become 4E (option f).</u></em>
