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}

Which best describes cosmic microwave background radiation? radiation thought to exist but not yet measured radiation predicted
grigory [225]

Answer:  leftover radiation from the big bang

Microwave background radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is present in the whole universe and completely fills it.

Its frequency belongs to the microwaves range and is one of the main demonstrations of the of the Big Bang theory model.

It is important to note the Big Bang occurred 400,000 years before the events related to the microwave cosmic radiation, this means the Big Bang occurred first.

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
Sergeu [11.5K]
<h2>Answer: a.The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are spring-loaded to allow them to return quickly to a known position. </h2>

Explanation:

Adaptive optics is a method used in several astronomical observatories to counteract in real time the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the formation of astronomical images.

This is done through the insertion into the optical path of the telescope of sophisticated deformable mirrors supported by a set of computationally controlled actuators. Thus obtaining clear images despite the effects of atmospheric turbulence that cause the unwanted distortion.

It should be noted that with this technique it is also necessary to have a moderately bright reference star that is very close to the object to be observed and studied. However, it is not always possible to find such stars, so a powerful laser beam is used to point towards the Earth's upper atmosphere and create artificial stars.

A car's fuel economy is 30 mpg. a warning light is displayed if the remaining distance that can be driven before the car runs ou
Alchen [17]
So 10 gallons of gas would let you travel 300 Miles. 

x gallons = 50 Miles

10 : 300 :: x : 50 

x = 500/300

x = 1.66667 gallons. 

So, the car would run 10 - 1.6666 gallons = 8.33 gallons.

After that, the warning light turns ON! 

Hope this helps!!
