Describe how a wind turbine generates energy.

1 answer:

5 0

The wind Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.

Tju [1.3M]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct option is A.

A) The increased pressure, pushed the molecules closer together, and caused the marshmallow to shrink.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Jayden experimented, she placed the marshmallow in the syringe and sealed the end. When she depressed the plunger of the syringe, the pressure increased and pushed the molecules closer together and causes the marshmallow to shrink.

Establishing a potential difference The deflection plates in an oscilloscope are 10 cm by 2 cm with a gap distance of 1 mm. A 10

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

$1.62\times 10^{-8}\ \text{s}$

Explanation:

$\epsilon_0$ = Vacuum permittivity = $8.854\times 10^{-12}\ \text{F/m}$

$A$ = Area = $10\times 2\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m}^2$

$d$ = Distance between plates = 1 mm

$V_c$ = Changed voltage = 60 V

$V$ = Initial voltage = 100 V

$R$ = Resistance = $1000\ \Omega$

Capacitance is given by

$C=\dfrac{\epsilon_0A}{d}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 10\times 2\times 10^{-4}}{1\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow C=1.7708\times 10^{-11}\ \text{F}$

We have the relation

$V_c=V(1-e^{-\dfrac{t}{CR}})\\\Rightarrow e^{-\dfrac{t}{CR}}=1-\dfrac{V_c}{V}\\\Rightarrow -\dfrac{t}{CR}=\ln (1-\dfrac{V_c}{V})\\\Rightarrow t=-CR\ln (1-\dfrac{V_c}{V})\\\Rightarrow t=-1.7708\times 10^{-11}\times 1000\ln(1-\dfrac{60}{100})\\\Rightarrow t=1.62\times 10^{-8}\ \text{s}$

The time taken for the potential difference to reach the required level is $1.62\times 10^{-8}\ \text{s}$ .

A person is walking briskly in a straight line. The figure shows a graph of the person’s position x as a function of time t. Wha

Nina [5.8K]

The average velocity over the interval $6\le t\le 10$ is

$\dfrac{x(10)-x(6)}{10\,\mathrm s-6\,\mathrm s}=\dfrac{6\,\mathrm m-2.67\,\mathrm m}{4\,\mathrm s}=0.8325\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

where $x(t)$ is the person's position at time $t$ . I've taken the liberty of estimating $x(6)\approx2.67\,\mathrm m$ . The closest choice among the answers is $0.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$ .

How do flower petals help a flowering plant reproduce?

Verdich [7]

<span>the flower of a plant will attract an animal such as a bee that will take the pollen from the plant and transmit it to another plant. this shows that flowers help plant reproduce as they will attract an animal that will carry reproductive material to another plant</span>

Two balloons are charged with an identical quantity and type of charge: -0.0025 C. They are held apart at a separation distance

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

F = 878.9 N

Explanation:

The electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion is given by Coulomb's Law as follows:

F = kq₁q₂/r²

where,

F = Force pf repulsion between balloons = ?

k = Coulomb's Constant = 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

q₁ = q₂ = magnitudes of 1st and 2nd charge = 0.0025 C

r = distance between balloons = 8 m

Therefore,

F = (9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²)(0.0025 C)(0.0025 C)/(8 m)²
