Achallenge gaining prominence throughout the planet is the increased need for \"green\" or sustainable energy. in certain parts of the country, wind farms are a viable alternative to conventional energy sources. an average wind turbine (the device which converts rotational motion to electricity) has a maximum capacity of 1.40 mw. however, realistically the wind turbine never runs at full power. if a wind turbine runs at 32.6% capacity for 1.00 year, how much energy does the wind turbine generate?

1. consider the case in which air fills air shocks on a truck trailer. the pressure in the shocks is 2 mpa. the temperature is 300 k. the diameter of the shock piston is 10 cm and the initial length of the cylindrical cavity containing the compressed air is 40 cm. a. the truck is gradually loaded over a period of a day in a static setting. the temperature is held constant for the atmosphere and thus for the gas shock. calculate the compressibility of the air in the shock for this condition when the truck is initially being loaded. b. if the shocks were loaded in a dynamic setting by driving over bumps, what would be the compressibility? state your assumption. c. what is the initial load on the shock if the shock is in an atmospheric 100 kpa? d. if the shock is compressed using the process described in part a, and the air shock compressed air cavity length decreases to 20 cm, what is the additional load applied to the shock?

The path of a satellite orbiting the earth causes it to pass directly over two tracking stations a and b, which are 51 miles apart. when the satellite is on one side of the two stations, the angles of elevation at a and b are measured to be 87 degrees and 84 degrees, respectively. (a) how far is the satellite from station a? (b) how high is the satellite above the ground?

Orque can be calculated by multiplying the force (n) applied at 90∘ to the lever arm at a distance (m) from the pivot point (point of rotation), the compound si unit for the torque is n⋅m. if the force (at 90∘ to the lever arm) applied is 15 n and it is applied at 2.0 m from the pivot point (point of rotation), what is the torque on the lever?
