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.

The density of aluminum is 2.7 × 103 kg/m3 . the speed of longitudinal waves in an aluminum rod is measured to be 5.1 × 103 m/s.
andrey2020 [161]
<span>The speed of longitudinal waves, S, in a thin rod = âšYoung modulus / density , where Y is in N/m^2. So, S = âšYoung modulus/ density. Squaring both sides, we have, S^2 = Young Modulus/ density. So, Young Modulus = S^2 * density; where S is the speed of the longitudinal wave. Then Substiting into the eqn we have (5.1 *10^3)^2 * 2.7 * 10^3 = 26.01 * 10^6 * 2.7 *10^6 = 26.01 * 2.7 * 10^ (6+3) = 70.227 * 10 ^9</span>

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Your answer is: K.E = 8.3 J

Explanation:

If the height (h) = 169.2 meters (m) and the mass (m) is 0.005 kilograms (kg) the total energy will be kinetic energy which is equal to the potential energy.

K.E = P.E and also P.E equals to mgh

Then you substitute all the parameters into the formula  ↓

P.E = 0.005 × 9.81 × 169.2

P.E = 8.2908 J

So your answer is 8.2908 but if you round it is K.E = 8.3

The ocean’s tides are not only affected by the shape of the coastlines, or slope of the ocean floor, but also by the gravitation
dexar [7]

Answer:

a) According to Newton's law of gravitation, as the distance between the Moon and the Earth decreases, the gravitational attraction increases and vice versa

The gravitational force of the Moon on the Earth causes the Earth to be slightly bulged on the side directly facing the Moon

The gravitational force also pulls the water bodies on the Earth's surface towards the Moon in the same manner and the effect is more pronounced due to the ability of the liquid water to assume a shape based on the magnitude of the gravitational field attracting it

Therefore, the region where the Moon is closest to the Earth we have a high tide as the water level rises and the region which is perpendicular to where the Moon is located has a  low tide

b) The two special types of tides are

1) The neap tide

2) The spring tide

Neap tide

Neap tide occurs when the Sun and Moon are 90° apart from each other when they are viewed by an observer from Earth

The gravitational pull of the Sun cancels (partially) the effect of the gravitational pull and tidal force of the Moon, resulting in minimum tidal range

Spring Tide

Spring tide occurs when the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are simultaneously inline, such that the Sun reinforces the gravitational pull and tidal force of the Moon, resulting in a maximum tidal range

Describe what happens to pressure as the force exerted on a given area increases.
Goryan [66]

That's the definition of pressure ... force on a given area.

So when that force increases, it's an increase in pressure.
