Concept explainers
A bail is thrown vertically into the air with an initial kinetic energy of 2,500 joules [J]. As the ball rises, it gradually loses kinetic energy as its potential energy increases. At the top of its flight, when its vertical speed goes to zero, all of the kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy. Assume that no energy is lost to frictional drag, etc. How high does tie ball rise in units of meters [m] if it has a mass of 5 kilograms [kg]?

- The wind turbine generates 420 kW of power. Losses in the gearbox are 1.2 percent, in the generator are 5.4 percent, and in the transformer are 1.4 percent. Calculate: The net power that is injected into the utility power grid [kW] and The overall efficiency of the system (%).arrow_forwardYou have 4 springs, one each 3.5, 6, 8.5, 11 newtons per meter. How close an equivalent stiffness to the average of the four springs (7.25 newtons per meter [N/m]) can you make using only these springs? You may use all four springs to do this, but you may use less if that will yield an equivalent stiffness closer to the average.arrow_forwardProb2 Consider water transfer between two larger storage tanks.
