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%.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Angular velocity is same as frequency of oscillation in this case.

ω = \sqrt{\frac{7K}{m} } x [\frac{L^{2}}{mK}]^{3/14}

Explanation:

- write the equation F(r) = -Kr^{4} with angular momentum <em>L</em>

- Get the necessary centripetal acceleration with radius r₀ and make r₀ the subject.

- Write the energy of the orbit in relative to r = 0, and solve for "E".

- Find the second derivative of effective potential to calculate the frequency of small radial oscillations. This is the effective spring constant.

- Solve for effective potential

- ω = \sqrt{\frac{7K}{m} } x [\frac{L^{2}}{mK}]^{3/14}
