Question

A 40-meter-long blade of a wind turbine makes one complete revolution in 10 seconds. To the nearest tenth, the linear velocity of the blade is meters per second.

Answer 1

Answer:

25.13 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear velocity = Distance / time

The distance = Circumference of turbine = 2πr

Radius, r = 40 m

Circumference= 2 * π * 40 = 251.327

The linear velocity is thus :

Circumference / time

= 251.327m / 10s

= 25.13 m/s
