A motorcycle and rider have a combined mass of 350kg. The vehicle’s velocity is 100 km/hr. The rider is to go up a hill incline of 10 meters. The wheels each have a mass of 20 kg and a diameter of 500mm. The wheel design consists of 6 spokes with a mass of 0.5 kg for each spoke.
2) Indicate the vehicle’s velocity at each meter through the climb.
A wind turbine produces 1.52 MW when the wind
speed is a speed v. Assuming the same conditions for
the turbine (same size, same power coefficient and
same air density) how much power would this
turbine produce is the wind speed doubled? Round
off your answer (in MW) to 2 decimal places. Do not
write the unit.
There is a kindof antique bicycle in which the radius of the rear wheel is one-tenth of the front wheel. When this bicycle was used to travel 200 feet, the rear wheel rotated 90 times more than the front wheel. What is the diameter of the rear wheel in inches?
