Question

Modern wind turbines are larger than they appear, and despite their apparently lazy motion, the speed of the blades tips can be quite high-many times higher than the wind speed. A turbine has blades 59 m long that spin at 14 rpm . A) At the tip of a blade, what is the speed? B) At the tip of a blade, what is the centripetal acceleration?

          Modern wind turbines are larger than they appear, and despite
their apparently lazy motion, the speed of the blades tips can be
quite high-many times higher than the wind speed. A turbine has
blades 59 m long that spin
at 14 rpm . A) At the tip of a blade, what is
the speed? B) At the tip of a blade, what is the centripetal
acceleration?
