What are the two types of modern wind turbines?

Biology
1 answer:
vodomira [7]3 years ago
5 0
<span>There are two types of modern wind turbines. In a Verical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs), the shaft is mounted on a vertical axis perpendicular to the ground. They are aligned with the wind so there’s no adjustment necessary when the wind direction changes. It can’t start moving on itself that is why it needs a boost from its electrical system to get started. It uses wires for support so the rotor elevation is lower. They are less efficient than HAWTs due to its lower elevation. Lower elevation means slower wind due to ground interferences. The other type is Horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs), the shaft s mounted horizontally parallel to the ground. It is constantly aligned with the wind using a yaw-adjustment mechanism. This mechanism moves the entire rotor left or right in small increments. It uses a tower to lift the turbine components to an optimum elevation for wind speed and take up very little ground space. It is much more efficient than VAWT. </span>

Is fungus considered as a decomposer?
Alex17521 [72]
<span>Fungi is a decomposer. They make enzymes that decompose the decaying matter while feasting on the nutrients of that substance. This is why that most fungi are useful because without them, the biomass would be crowded with dead matter. Other decomposers include bacteria and actinomycetes. hope it helps ;)

The minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction is known as:
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The correct option is B. Activation energy

Explanation:

The activation energy is usually used to designate the minimum energy necessary for a given chemical reaction to occur, that is, the basic requirement for the reaction to proceed.

For a reaction to occur between two molecules, they must collide in the correct orientation and have a minimum amount of energy. As the molecules approach, their electron clouds are rejected. This requires energy (activation energy) and comes from the heat of the system, that, is, from translational, vibrational energy, etc of each molecule. If the energy is sufficient, the repulsion is overcome and the molecules are close enough for a rearrangement of the bonds of the molecules.

The concept of Activation energy was introduced by Arrhenius in 1889. Arrhenius suggested that molecules must prossess a minimum amount of energy to react. That energy comes from the kinetic energy of the clliding molecules. Kinetic energy serves to cause reactions, but if the molecules move very slowly, the molecules will only bounce when they collide with other molecules and the reaction does not happen. In order for the molecules to react, they must have a total kinetic energy that is equal to or greater than a certain minimum value of energy called activation energy.

Bas_tet [7]
<span>The correct answer is A, B and D. Biogeochemical cycles are central to the ecology of earth system. They make the essentail elements accessible and available for the organisms, and maintain their levels, so that the ecology is ot disrupted. The elements move through abiotic and biotic factors, in these cycles, and a state of equilibrium is maintained n the ecosystem. The carbon dioxide levels are responsible fr the temperature of the earth. If Carbon cycles would not have existed, then there would have been a disruption in maintaining the global temperature. Biogeochemical cycles basically continuously recycles the essential materials, for sustaining the life-forms.</span>
