In some areas, farmers have installed windmills to generate electricity to run the farm. Some are generating a surplus of electr

icity and selling it back to the power company. The local power company burns fossil fuels, which pollute the environment, to generate electricity. Windmills do not pollute the environment. Evaluate the statements and choose the statement that best describes how the windmill technology benefits the environment.

The statement that best describes how the windmill technology benefits the environment is this: WINDMILLS DO NOT POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT.
Constructing a windmill involves harnessing the power of the wind to generate electricity. This type of electricity generation has no side  effects whatsoever. It is environmental friendly and does not pollute the environment.

200 kW of solar radiation is shining on a 300 m^2 parking lot. What is the insulation on the parking lot?
ale4655 [162]

That's "<em><u>insolation</u></em>" ... not "insulation".

'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.

If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is

           (200 kW) / (300 m²) = <em>(666 and 2/3) watt/m²</em> .

Note that this is the intensity of the <em><u>incident</u></em> radiation.  It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.

Wait ! 
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all.  I have no idea what  "1 sun"  means.  Forgive me.  I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.

Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.

           1 sun = 1 kW/m².

So 2/3 of a kW per m²  =  2/3 of 1 sun

That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.

I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.

¿Cuál es la frecuencia de una ola con una velocidad de 14 m / s y una longitud de onda de 20 metros?
Margaret [11]

Responder:

<h2>0.7Hertz </h2>

Explicación:

Usando la fórmula para calcular la velocidad de onda que se expresa como se muestra.

Velocidad de una onda = frecuencia * longitud de onda

v = fλ

Dada la velocidad de onda = 14 m / sy longitud de onda = 20 metros

frecuencia f = v / λ

f = 14/20

f = 0.7Hertz

La frecuencia de la onda es de 0.7 Hertz.

II Force on a tennis ball. The record speed for a tennis ball that is served is 73.14 m/s. During a serve, the ball typically st
AveGali [126]

Answer:

F=248.5W N

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd Law tells us that F=ma. We will use their averages always. The average acceleration the tennis ball experimented is, by definition:

a=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\frac{v-v_0}{t-t_0}

Since we start counting at 0s and the ball departs from rest, this is just a=\frac{v}{t}

So we can write:

F=ma=\frac{mv}{t}=\frac{gmv}{gt}

Where in the last step we have just multiplied and divided by g, the acceleration of gravity. This allows us to introduce the weight of the ball W since W=gm, so we have:

F=\frac{Wv}{gt}=\frac{v}{gt}W

Substituting our values:

F=\frac{(73.14m/s)}{(9.81m/s^2)(30\times10^{-3}s)}W=248.5W N

Where the average force exerted has been written it terms of the tennis ball's weight W.

A charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall. which process is involved?
Leokris [45]
<span>The charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall because of the Static Electricity:
</span>
 The matter is formed by atoms and these atoms are composed of electrons, protons and neutrons (the electrons have a negative charge, the protons have a positive charge and the neutrons have no charge).

 As the balloon is charged (It gained electrons), and the charge of the same sign repel each other, when it approaches the wall, the electrons of this wall will move away, and the positive charges (protons) will remain in the nearest area to the balloon. As the charges of different signs are attracted, the balloon will be stuck to the wall.
