A wind turbine takes in energy from wind with the goal of converting it into electrical energy. Much of the wind energy is also

converted into the kinetic energy of the spinning turbine and heat lost to the air around it. An illustration of a windmill with a wide arrow away from it labeled kinetic energy of wind 3000 J and it separates into 3 different arrows, one labeled electric energy 750 J, the second labeled heat 750 J and the third which is the widest labeled kinetic energy of turbine blank J. If the goal of the turbine is to put out electric energy, what is the efficiency of the turbine? 25% 50% 75% 100%.

The efficiency of the turbine is 50%.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Kinetic energy of the wind, E = 3000 J</em>
  • <em>Output electrical energy, E(out) = 750 J</em>
  • <em>Energy lost to heat, E(lost) = 750 J</em>
  • <em>Kinetic energy of the turbine, E(in) = ?</em>

The kinetic energy of the turbine which is the input energy is calculated as follows;

E(in) = 3000 - (750 + 750)

E(in) = 1500 J

The efficiency of the turbine is calculated as follows;

E_f_f = \frac{E_{(out)}}{E_{(in)}} \times 100\%\\\\E_f_f = \frac{750}{1500} \times 100\%\\\\E_f_f = 50  \%

Thus, the efficiency of the turbine is 50%.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

b ) The problem is based on Doppler's effect of sound

f = f₀ x (V - v₀) /( V+v_s)

f is apparent frequency ,f₀ is real frequency , V is velocity of sound , v₀ is velocity of observer going away  , v_s is velocity of source going away

778  = 840 x (340 - 14)/ (340 + v_s)

340 + v_s = 341.18

v_s = 1.18 m /s

it will go  away from   the observer or the cyclist.

speed of train = 1.18 m /s

a )

For a stationary observer v₀ = 0

f = f₀ x V  /( V+v_s)

= 840 x 340 / (340 + 1.180)

= 837 Hz

Which statement regarding sound traveling in air is correct?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: D. A wave with a shorter wavelength is always faster than one with a longer wavelength

Explanation: "Imagine two sets of waves that have the same speed. <u><em>If one set has a longer wavelength, it will have a lower frequency (more time between waves). If the other set has a shorter wavelength, it will have a higher frequency</em></u> (less time between waves). Light moves even faster AND has shorter wavelengths."

Why it's not C: "The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). <em><u>As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease</u></em>. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer."

Why it's not B: "The frequency does not change as the sound wave moves from one medium to another. Since the speed changes and the frequency does not, the wavelength must change."

Why it's not A: "Do loud sounds travel faster than soft sounds? No. Both travel at the same speed The speed depends on the medium it passes through. Louder sounds are simply sound waves with higher amplitude traveling at the same speed."
