Answer:

0.233

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of rotor, d = 40 m

Power of rotor, P = 90 kW

Speed of the wind, v = 8 m/s

Density of air, p = 1.2 kg/m³

It is a known fact that

KE = ½mv², where mass flow rate, m

m = p.A.v, where Area, A

A = πd²/4

A = (3.142 * 40²)/4

A = 3.142 * 1600/4

A = 3.142 * 400

A = 1256.8 m², substitute for A in the mass flow rate equation

m = p.A.v

m = 1.2 * 1256.8 * 8

m = 12065.28, substitute for m in the KE equation

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ * 12065.28 * 8²

KE = 12065.28 * 32

KE = 386088.96 W or

KE = 386.1 kW

Fraction of kinetic energy converted to electric energy is

Fraction = Electric Power / Total KE

Fraction = 90 / 386.1

Fraction = 0.233

In order to get a tree stump out of the ground, chains are connected to two trucks. One truck pulls with a force of 600 N to the
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The net force on the stump is 1000 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force 1 acting on the truck, F_1=600\ N (due north)

Force 2 acting on the truck, F_2=800\ N (due west)

We need to find the net force on the stump. We know that force is a vector quantity. The net force on the stump is given by the the resultant force. It is given by :

F=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2}

F=\sqrt{600^2+800^2}

F = 1000 N

So, the net force on the stump is 1000 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

An electric dipole with dipole moment p⃗ is in a uniform electric field E⃗ . A. Find all the orientation angles of the dipole me
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

A) When a dipole is placed in an electric field , it experiences a torque equal to the following

torque = p x E = p E sinθ , where θ is angle between direction of p and E .

It will be zero if θ = 0

or if both p and E are oriented in the same direction.

It is the stable orientation of dipole.

If θ = 180° ,

Torque = 0

In this case both p and E are oriented in opposite direction .

It is the unstable orientation of the dipole because if we deflect the dipole by even small angle , it goes back to most stable orientation due to torque acting on it by electric field.

In an experiment the chemical reaction between a piece of aluminum foil and Copper(II)Chloride solution in a beaker is observed.
telo118 [61]
When Ag(silver) reacts with CuCl2, Ag displaces Cu from CuCl2 and forms AgCl which is soluble and brownish red solid precipitate is left in the solution. 

Hence option D is correct.
Hope this helps!

What do we mean when we say that two light rays striking a screen are in phase with each other? What do we mean when we say that
galina1969 [7]

Answer: When the electric field due to one is a maximum, the electric field due to the other is also a maximum, and this relation is maintained as time passes. They alternatively reinforce and cancel each other.

Explanation:

In a wave, the phase, is an arbitrary time reference, used to locate a given point of the wave in time, within a cycle.

Two waves can travel at the same speed, or even have the same wavelength, but this is not enough to be sure that at a given point in time, both waves will be in their maximum, as it only can be determined from the phase of the waves.

So, only when the waves reach at the same point in time at the same amplitude, we can say that they arrive in phase, in a constructive interference.
