Over the last several decades scientists have considered the problem of nonrenewable natural resources, such as fossil fuels. Hu

mans are using fossil fuels at a rapid rate and scientists believe that one day, we will run out of usable fossil fuels. To solve this problem, research has been conducted on alternative energy sources. One alternative energy source is wind energy. Although wind energy is a good solution to this problem, it is not the perfect solution.
Which statement describes a drawback to wind energy?
A) Wind energy is a clean source of energy.
B) Good locations for turbines are limited.
C) Wind energy is inexpensive to set up and use.
D) Wind energy plants do not involve the use of hazardous chemicals.

The statement "Good locations for turbines are limited" describes a drawback to wind energy.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Wind energy is one of the most useful and efficient renewable energy sources. But nothing is ideal in this universe and the same thing applies for wind energy also. The generation of electricity from wind energy requires setting up of turbines.

And these turbines can be set up in plane areas which is free from any disturbance except wind flow. In open area and flat plane surface only the turbines can rotate freely with the effect of wind.

But regions where the wind flow is minimum due to snow formation like the northern region of earth, the turbines cannot be set up there. So the locations for setting up of turbines are limited for good outcome in wind energy. This is one of the drawback of wind energy.

If you drop an object from rest, the distance it falls is given by (1/2)at2, where a is the acceleration of the object and t is
klio [65]

If,

d \:  =  \:   \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

then, with 3x time t, (suppose, new distance is h)

h \:  =  \:   \frac{1}{2} a {(3t)}^{2}

=  \frac{1}{2} a9 {t}^{2}

= 9 \:  \frac{1}{2} a{t}^{2}

= 9d

Therefore, new distance h will be 9 times bigger than distance d.

answer: c
