AnWind power or wind energy is the use of wind to provide mechanical power through wind turbines to turn electric generators for electrical power. Wind power is a popular sustainable, renewable source of power that has a much smaller impact on the environment compared to burning fossil fuels. Wind farms consist of many individual wind turbines, which are connected to the electric power transmission network. Onshore wind is an inexpensive source of electric power, competitive with or in many places cheaper than coal or gas plants. Onshore wind farms have a greater visual impact on the landscape than other power stations, as they need to be spread over more land and need to be built away from dense population. Offshore wind is steadier and stronger than on land and offshore farms have less visual impact, but construction and maintenance costs are significantly higher. Small onshore wind farms can feed some energy into the grid or provide power to isolated off-grid locations. The wind is an intermittent energy source, which cannot be dispatched on demand. Locally, it gives variable power, which is consistent from year to year but varies greatly over shorter time scales. Therefore, it must be used together with other power sources to give a reliable supply. Power-management techniques such as having dispatchable power sources (often gas-fired power plant or hydroelectric power), excess capacity, geographically distributed turbines, exporting and importing power to neighboring areas, grid storage, reducing demand when wind production is low, and curtailing occasional excess wind power, are used to overcome these problems. As the proportion of wind power in a region increases the grid may need to be upgraded. Weather forecasting permits the electric-power network to be readied for the predictable variations in production that occur. In 2019, wind supplied 1430 TWh of electricity, which was 5.3% of worldwide electrical generation, with the global installed wind power capacity reaching more than 651 G…swer:

Wind is a more efficient power source than solar. Compared to solar panels, wind turbines release less CO2 to the atmosphere, consume less energy, and produce more energy overall.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

A)  R = (200 i ^ + 100 j ^ + 30k ^) m , B)    L = 223.61 m , C)   R = 225.61 m

Explanation:

Part A

This is a vector summing exercise, let's take a Reference System where the z axis corresponds to the height (flights), the x axis is the East - West and the y axis corresponds to the North - South.

Let's write the displacements

Descending from the apartment

10 flights of 3 m each, the total descent is 30 m

                Z = 30 k ^ m

Offset at street level

            L1 = 0.2 i ^ km

            L2 = 0.1 j ^ km

Let's reduce everything to the SI system

          L1 = 0.2 * 1000 = 200 i ^ m

          L2 = 100 j ^ m

The distance traveled is

          R = (200 i ^ + 100 j ^ + 30k ^) m

Part B

The horizontal distance traveled can be found with the Pythagorean theorem for the coordinates in the plane

                L² = x² + y²

                L = √ (200² + 100²)

                L = 223.61 m

Part C

The magnitude of travel, let's use the Pythagorean theorem for the sum

             R² = x² + y² + z²

              R = √ (30² + 200² + 100²)

             R = 225.61 m

The values of these two forces are equal. Your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you. When you and the Earth fall toward each other, your acceleration is greater than the Earth's acceleration, because your mass is less than the Earth's mass.
