What are the two types of modern wind turbines?

vodomira [7]3 years ago

<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>

Which of the following terms are NOT used interchangeably? muscle tension - muscle force in vivo - in the body/ the living muscl
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "motor unit - motor neuron".

Explanation:

Motor unit and motor neuron are related terms, however they could not be used interchangeably because a motor unit is not comprised only of a motor neuron. A motor unit is made of a motor neuron, skeletal muscle fibers and neuron's axonal terminals. Therefore motor unit is a more broadly term, and is referred to the units that coordinate the contractions of single muscles.

Identify whether the following statements are true or false.
Advocard [28]

The True statements are.

Organisms in a population must compete for the resources as the resources are limited and the organism that compete and survives wins.

The best equipped organism survive which is known as the survival of the fittest.

Over the time due to challenges in the environment the beneficial variation takes place in the organisms and it spreads through the generations and then it gradually changes the whole population.

The false statement is Organism of the same species are equipped with the same survival skills.

The organism of the same species have some variation and because of this variation they compete and win against the other member of the same species.
