An astronaut lands on a newly-discovered planet (without an atmosphere). As an
experiment, she throws vertically upwards a pure vanadium sphere of radius 2.0 cm and
density 5.5 × 103 kg m-3 with an initial speed of 3.0 m s-¹. The point of release is 1.2 m
above the ground. She observes the sphere to travel 4.8 m before it starts falling to the
ground. Calculate the kinetic energy of the projectile just as it hits the ground.
Kinetic energy =
J.
Windmills slow the air and cause it to fill a larger channel as it passes through the blades. Consider a circular windmill with a 7-m-diameter rotor in a 8 m/s wind on a day when the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa and the temperature is 20°C. The wind speed behind the windmill is measured at 6.5 m/s. Determine the diameter of the wind channel downstream from the rotor and the power produced by this windmill, presuming that the air is incompressible.
