    Turbine Windmill
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding the dynamics of wind turbines and windmills, specifically comparing air molecule speeds under different configurations. The terms "reversed steady windmills" and "movable reversed windmills" are unclear to participants, leading to confusion about the problem's parameters. Participants suggest seeking clarification from a professor or classmates to better grasp the terminology and concepts involved. The formulas provided relate to motion, force, and kinetic energy, but their application remains uncertain without further context. Overall, the need for clearer definitions and guidance is emphasized to progress in solving the problem.

Homework Statement


Consider a turbine which actuates the windmills by blowing air into it. (If we use beat steady windmills (which is called reverse windmills) instead of movable windmills, deliberate the following conditions by parametric view. (Ignore the friction power (force))
A. Compare moving speed of air molecules in the following conditions:
1. There are reversed steady windmills between movable windmills.
2. There are movable reversed windmills in the middle of movable windmills which are actuated by wind power (energy).

Homework Equations


I am not sure
E = ½mv2
W = Fd
mv22 = ½mv12
v2 = v02 + 2as
a
= ( v2 - v02 ) / 2s
F
= ma = m ( v2 - v02 ) / 2s
K
= 0.5mv2
Wtot = K2 - K1 = ΔK

Can you ask your professor for some clarification or guidance in the right direction?

Can you shed any light on what these terms mean? I can find no matches in a Google search.

Edit: that wasn't quite true. I got lots of matches on "reverse windmill", as a particularly flamboyant way to score in basketball.

I just meant that it appears that you don't know where to start - your description is vague, then you have several formulas that have to do with motion and force and kinetic energy.

So far, nobody here is familiar with this particular terminology, so I thought a fellow classmate or your prof might be able to shed more light that we can (right now, at least).

This forum is great for helping you along in the right direction, but we need to understand more about this problem before we can do that.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
