Explanation:
The wind is an actual form of solar energy. winds are caused by the heating of the atmosphere by the sun, the rotation of the earth, and the earth's surface irregularities. The wind is capture in a wind turbine which provides a renewable energy source, the wind makes the rotor spin, as the rotor spins the movement of the blades drives a generator that creates energy, also known as wind power. The average wind efficiency of turbines is between 35-45%.
Advantages of wind power
- Wind power is cost-effective
- wind creates jobs
- wind enables US industry growth and US competitiveness
-it's a clean fuel source

Answer:
a) 8kW
b) $128
Explanation:
Given the coefficient of performance of the heat pump cycle to be 2.5
Energy delivered by the heat pump = 20kW
a) net power required to operate the heat pump = Energy delivered / coefficient of performance
Net power required = 20/2.5
= 8kW
b) Given the cost of electricity is $0.08 for 1kWhour
Since net power required to operate heat pump = 8kW
If the heat pump operate for 200hours, total power required for a month = 8kW×200hours = 1600kWhour
since 1kWh of electricity costs $0.08, cost of electricity used in a month when the pump operates for 200hour will be 1600kWh×$0.08 which is equivalent to $128
