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}

Coulomb measured the deflection of sphere A when spheres A and B had equal charges and were a distance d apart. He then made the
sdas [7]

Answer:

The new distance is     d = 0.447 d₀

Explanation:

The electric out is given by Coulomb's Law

         F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

This electric force is in balance with tension.

We reduce the charge of sphere B to 1/5 of its initial value (q_{B}=q₂ = q₂ / 5) than new distance (d = n d₀)

dat

     q₁ = q_{A}

     q₂ = q_{B}

     r = d₀

In order for the deviation to maintain the electric force it should not change, so we apply the Coulomb equation for the two points

         F = k q₁ q₂ / d₀²

         F = k q₁ (q₂ / 5) / (n d₀)²

         .k q₁ q₂ / d₀² = q₁ q₂ / (5 n² d₀²)

          5 n² = 1

          n = √ 1/5

          n = 0.447

The new distance is

         d = 0.447 d₀

What is the dependent variable in this
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

"the plants had already started growing."

Explanation:

I think this is the answer because the definition of a dependent variable is the variable that is being affected by the change. Since the plants had already started growing BECAUSE of "They ran out of the farmer's compost, so

some of the plants received that compost

when the seeds were planted and other

plants got hardware store compost after

the plants had already started growing."

Sorry if I am wrong, I am just a 4th grader, pls don't hate on me, I am just trying to help :)

A simple pendulum consisting of a bob of mass m attached to a string of length L swings with a period T on Earth. Calculate the
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

T = T

Explanation:

Time period of a simple pendulum is not affected by the mass of the bob. As we know, T = 2\pi \sqrt{L/g} . There is no factor of mass affecting when we derived the equation. The basic reason behind the time period is not affected is because of mass dependence on angular acceleration. As the mass increases the acceleration increase and the Time Period remains constant.
