Answer:

The Power output from Turbine B with the doubled blade will be X4 of the power output from Turbine A.

Explanation:

The Power generated by a wind turbine is governed by the equation:

P=0.5ρAV³

Where ρ= Air Density

A= Swept Area of the Blade =πr²

V= Wind Velocity

If they are subjected to the same wind, Air Density and Wind Velocity will be equal

For both turbines,

Let Air Density=1

Wind Velocity=1

Power from Turbine A = 0.5X1XπX1²=0.5π

Power from Turbine B (radius=2) = 0.5X1XπX2²=2π

Power from Turbine B/Power from Turbine A = 2π/0.5π=4

Why are incandescent lights fo inefficient?​
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Incandescent bulbs are extremely inefficient because 90% of the energy is wasted as heat, with only 10% being converted to visible light. This gives incandescent bulbs a luminous efficiency rating of around 2%. Ultimately, incandescent bulbs perform better as heaters than as light sources.

All Houston Methodist buildings system wide have an emergency power generator that turns on to supply emergency power after norm
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

D. 10 seconds

Explanation:

All Houston Methodist Hospital buildings employs the use of EPSS(Emergency Power Supply System). This system employs the use of an emergency power generator that turns on to supply emergency power after normal power shuts down within 10 seconds during power outage.

Due to it being used in a hospital the importance of this emergency power system cannot be overemphasized as it is used to provide power supply to hospital equipment such as life support machines etc.
