A wind turbine is initially spinning at a constant angular speed. As the wind's strength gradually increases, the turbine experiences a constant angular acceleration 0.116 rad/s2. After making 2870 revolutions, its angular speed is 124 rad/s. (a) What is the initial angular velocity of the turbine? (b) How much time elapses while the turbine is speeding up?

Solutions

Expert Solution

CALCULATION"::

= angular acceleration 0.116 rad/s2

= angular speed is 124 rad/s

2870 revolutions = displacement

Lets t = time speeding

= initial angular speed

a) we know this formula for angular velocity and displacement and angular acceleration

The initial angular velocity of the turbine is

b) applying this formula where change the angular velocity =

time change= t - t_i=t-0=t

we know ,

Time elapses while the turbine is speeding up

so answer is 157 sec

The higher the wind speed, the quicker a body cools. To quantify this wind speed chilling effect, both the U.S. and Canadian weather services have determined wind chill temperatures for temperatures below 50°F and wind speeds above 4 mph in the United States and temperatures below 10°C and wind speeds above 4.8 km/hr in Canada. An approximation of the official wind chill temperature, for both metric and English units, is given by this formula: WCI = K1 + 0.6125 Ta...

The wind speed in Laramie, Wyoming is normally distributed. The average wind speed for the state of Wyoming is approximately 20 mph. A curious student wanted to find out if the wind speed in Laramie was different than the state average. They took a sample of 25 random days in Laramie, measured the wind speed, and found an average of 18 mph with a standard deviation of 7.8 miles per hour. Test the claim that the average wind speed in...
