The majority of wind turbines consist of three blades mounted to a tower made from tubular steel. There are less common varieties with two blades, or with concrete or steel lattice towers. At 100 feet or more above the ground, the tower allows the turbine to take advantage of faster wind speeds found at higher altitudes.
Turbines catch the wind's energy with their propeller-like blades, which act much like an airplane wing. When the wind blows, a pocket of low-pressure air forms on one side of the blade. The low-pressure air pocket then pulls the blade toward it, causing the rotor to turn. This is called lift. The force of the lift is much stronger than the wind's force against the front side of the blade, which is called drag. The combination of lift and drag causes the rotor to spin like a propeller. So therefore your answer would be A.

The number of valence electrons of an element can be determined by the periodic table group (vertical column) in which the element is categorized
Explanation:
- area of rectangle=l×b
2.area of rectangle=l×b
3. perimeter of square=4×L
4. perimeter of rectangle=2(L+b)
- 14=2(4+b)
- 14=8+2b
- 2b=6
- b=3cm
hope it helps.
Answer :
The parent and daughter concentrations (in percentages) is, 60 % and 40 % respectively.
The age of rock is
Explanation :
First we have to calculate the parent and daughter concentrations (in percentages).
and,
As we know that, the half-life of uranium-238 = years
Now we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :
Now we have to calculate the time passed.
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant =
t = time passed by the sample = ?
a = initial amount of the reactant = 3 g
a - x = amount left after decay process = 1.8 g
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
Therefore, the age of rock is
Measured values are verified and go under a series of experiments before being accepted as the norm. Accepted values are unanimously accepted values, seen as the norm by a qualified group of individuals (scientists or the people of the intellectual sphere).
