A wind turbine takes in energy from wind with the goal of converting it into electrical energy. Much of the wind energy is also

converted into the kinetic energy of the spinning turbine and heat lost to the air around it. If the goal of the turbine is to put out electric energy, what is the efficiency of the turbine?

German physicist  Albert Betz  (in 1919) demonstrated  that the highest efficiency you can achieve with a wind turbine is around 59%

We would have to analyze the design of an specific turbine to determine its efficiency, however it is unlikely to achieve 50% , as todays turbines have an average efficiency in the 20-35%

The answer would be around 25%

Answer:

Efficiency is ratio of output energy and input energy

Efficiency = \frac{Electrical \: energy}{Wind\: Energy}

Explanation:

Efficiency is defined as the output that we will get from a given machine for a given input of energy.

So here we know that input energy that we are getting from wind is in the form of electrical energy converted by the turbine and the input energy here is in the form of kinetic energy of wind or air molecules

so here this kinetic energy of wind will help to rotate the turbine due to which we will get the output electrical energy but in this whole process some of the wind energy is converted into heat due to frictional force between several components of turbine which shows our energy loss in this process

so efficiency is given by

Efficiency = \frac{Electrical \: energy}{Wind\: Energy}

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a ball of mass 40g moving at a velocity of 4 metres per second​
AfilCa [17]
Given : A ball of mass 40 g moving at a velocity of 4 m/s.
To find : Calculate the kinetic energy in joules ?
Solution :
The kinetic energy formula is given by,

where, v is the velocity v=4 m/s
m is the mass m=40 g
Convert g into kg,



Substitute the values,



Therefore, the kinetic energy is 0.32 Joules.

Describe the phenomenon of lightning?​
masha68 [24]

Lightning is a naturally occurring electrostatic discharge during which two electrically charged regions in the atmosphere or ground temporarily equalize themselves, causing the instantaneous release of as much as one gigajoule of energy.

A ball is dropped from rest at a point 12 m above the ground into a smooth, frictionless chute. The ball exits the chute 2 m abo
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

29,7 m

Explanation:

We need to devide the problem in two parts:

A)  Energy

B) MRUV

<u>Energy:</u>

Since no friction between pint (1) and (2), then the energy conservatets:

Energy = constant ----> Ek(cinética) + Ep(potencial) = constant

Ek1 + Ep1 = Ek2 + Ep2

Ek1 = 0  ; because V1 is zero (the ball is "dropped")

Ep1 = m*g*H1

Ep2= m*g*H2

Then:

Ek2  = m*g*(H1-H2)

By definition of cinetic energy:

m*(V2)²/2 = m*g*(H1-H2) --->  V2 = \sqrt{(2*g*(H1-H2)}

Replaced values:  V2 = 14,0 m/s

<u>MRUV:</u>

The decomposition of the velocity (V2), gives a for the horizontal component:

V2x = V2*cos(α)

Then the traveled distance is:

X = V2*cos(α)*t.... but what time?

The time what takes the ball hit the ground.

Since: Y3 - Y2 = V2*t + (1/2)*(-g)*t²

In the vertical  axis:

Y3 = 0 ; Y2 = H2 = 2 m

Reeplacing:

-2 = 14*t + (1/2)*(-9,81)*t²

solving the ecuation, the only positive solution is:

t = 2,99 sec ≈ 3 sec

Then, for the distance:

X = V2*cos(α)*t = (14 m/s)*(cos45°)*(3sec) ≈ 29,7 m

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

6.77 minutes

Explanation:

172 degree - 78 degree = (185 degree - 78 degree)e−2 k

=> 94 = 107

e−2 k => 94 ÷ 107

k => ln (94÷107) / 2

147 - 78 = (185 - 78)e ^[ln (94÷107) / 2]

=> 69 = 107 e^ [ln (94÷107) / 2]

e^[ln (94÷107) / 2] =69 ÷ 107

=> t = [ln (69 ÷ 107)] ÷ [ln (94÷107) / 2]

t=> -0.4387 ÷ -0.0648

t => 6.77 minutes.

Therefore, the final answer to the question is 6.77 minutes.
