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}

Nataly [62]

Your answer is C)

a)t=2.78 sec

b)R=835.03 m

c)

Explanation:

Given that

h= 38 m

u=300 m/s

here given that

The finally y=0

So

t=2.78 sec

The horizontal distance,R

R= u x t

R=300 x 2.78

R=835.03 m

Consider the following True/False statements:
Ainat [17]

Answer:

6) False

7) True

8) False

9) False

10) False

11) True

12) True

13) True

14) True

Explanation:

The spacing between two energy levels in an atom shows the energy difference between them. Clearly, B has a greater value of ∆E compared to A. This implies that the wavelength emitted by B is greater than A while B will emit fewer, more energetic photons.

When atoms jump from lower to higher energy levels, photons are absorbed. The kinetic energy of the incident photon determines the frequency, wavelength and colour of light emitted by the atom.

The energy level to which an atom is excited is determined by the kinetic energy of the incident electron. As the voltage increases, the kinetic energy of the electron increases, the further the atom is from the source of free electrons, the greater the required kinetic energy of free electron. When electrons are excited to higher energy levels, they must return to ground state.

A truck of mass 200kg rests on an inclined plane hindered from rolling down the surface by a storing sprint whose force constant
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

1.92 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 200 Kg

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Workdone =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted on the spring. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 200 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = m × g

F = 200 × 9.8

F = 1960 N

Next we shall determine the extent to which the spring stretches. This can be obtained as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Force (F) = 1960 N

Extention (e) =?

F = Ke

1960 = 10⁶ × e

Divide both side by 10⁶

e = 1960 / 10⁶

e = 0.00196 m

Finally, we shall determine energy (Workdone) on the spring as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Extention (e) = 0.00196 m

Energy (E) =?

E = ½Ke²

E = ½ × 10⁶ × (0.00196)²

E = 1.92 J

Therefore, the Workdone on the spring is 1.92 J
