Answer:

As with all energy supply options, wind energy can have adverse environmental impacts, including the potential to reduce, fragment, or degrade habitat for wildlife, fish, and plants. Furthermore, spinning turbine blades can pose a threat to flying wildlife like birds and bats.Although wind power plants have relatively little impact on the environment compared to conventional power plants, concern exists over the noise produced by the turbine blades and visual impacts to the landscape. Wind plants can impact local wildlife. Birds have been killed by flying into spinning turbine blades.

The brakes on your automobile are capable of creating a deceleration of 4.6 m/s^2. If you are going 114 km/h and suddenly see a

drek231 [11]

Answer:

The minimum time to get the car under max. speed limit of 79 km/h is 2.11 seconds.

Explanation:

$a=\frac{V_f-V_0}{t}$

isolating "t" from this equation:

$t=\frac{V_f-V_0}{a}$

Where:

a= $-4.6m/s^2$ (negative because is decelerating)

$V_f= 79 km/h$

$V_0= 114 km/h$

First we must convert velocity from km/h to m/s to be consistent with units.

$79\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1 km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=\frac{79*1000}{3600}=21.94 m/s$

$114\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1 km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=\frac{114*1000}{3600}=31.67 m/s$

So;

$t=\frac{V_f-V_0}{a}=\frac{21.94 m/s-31.66m/s}{-4.6 m/s^2}=2.11 s$

It takes a crane 59s to lift a flagstone using 342 W of power. How much work is done on the flagstone?

zepelin [54]

Answer: The work done on the flagstone is 20178 J

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done . It is equal to the amount of work done divided by the time it takes to do the work.

$Work=Power\times time$

Given : work = ?

Power = 342 W = 342J/s

Time = 59 s

$Work=342J/s\times 59s=20178J$

Thus the work done on the flagstone is 20178 J

A proton is moving toward a second, stationary proton. What happens as the protons get closer?

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

A. Kinetic energy is converted to electric potential energy, and the proton moves more slowly.

Explanation:

When a moving proton is brought close to a stationary one, the kinetic energy of the moving one is converted to electric potential and the proton moves more slowly.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. A moving proton will possess this form of energy.

Two protons according to coulombs law will repel each other with an electrostatic force because they both have similar charges. This will increase their electric potential energy of both of them.

Potential energy is the energy at rest of a body. As it increases, the motion of a body will be slower and it will tend towards being stationary.

A backpack has a mass of 8 kg. It is lifted and given 54.9 J of gravitational potential energy. How high is it lifted? Accelerat

sweet [91]

Potencial Energy=hma
Where
Potencial Energy =E= 54.9J
h=?
m=8kg
a=9.8m/s^2
You need to know that 1 J=1(kgm^2)/s^2

Isolate h=E/(ma)
h=(54.9)/(8*9.8)

Adam drops a ball from rest from the top floor of a building at the same time Bob throws a ball horizontally from the same locat

guapka [62]

Answer:

Both balls hit the ground at the same time

Explanation:

Adam drops the ball from rest, so the ball just "<em>falls</em>" in vertical direction, being gravity its only acceleration, for cinematic movements we use that:

$y(t)=y_{0}+v_{0y}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

In this case we have that gravity is negative, and as Adam drops the ball, $v_{0y}=0$

Bob throws the ball horizontally, so the movement will be a <em>parabola</em>, we can divide into horizontal direction, and vertical direction.

But we only need to analize the vertical movement, in wich again the only acceleration is gravity, and compare it with Adam's ball. Again we have that gravity is negative, and as the initial throw is horizontal, $v_{0y}=0$

Finally, we have that

$y(t)=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$
