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.

A bicyclist travels at the speed of 25 kilometers per hour for 5 hours. How far does the bicyclist go?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

125 kilometers

Explanation:

Speed= 25km/h

Time = 5 h

Distance= Speed x Time

= 25 x 5

= 125 km

According to Oxford Dictionaries, a spit take is an act of suddenly spitting out liquid one is drinking in response to something
Tasya [4]

Answer:

The pressure is p_1 = 4051.4 \ Pa

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The gauge pressure at the mouth is  p_1

     The radius of the column is  r_2 =  4 \ mm  =  0.004 \ m

    The speed of the liquid outside the body is  v_2 =  3.1 \ m/s

      The area of the column is  A_2

       The area inside the mouth A_1 = 10 A_2

Generally according to continuity equation

       v_1 A_1 =  v_2 A_2

=>       v_ 1 = v_2 *  \frac{A_2}{A_1}

=>      v_ 1 = 3.1 *  \frac{1}{10}

=>        v_ 1 = 0.31 \ m/s

So

      A_1 = 10A_2

=>   \pi * r_1^2 = 10(\pi * r_2^2)

=>   r_1 = 10 * r_2

substituting values

        r_1 = 10 * 0.004

        r_1 =0.04 \ m

Now the height of inside the mouth is  h_1 =  d =  2r_1 =  2* 0.04 =  0.08\ m

Now the height of the column is  h_2 =  d =  2r_2 =  2* 0.004 =  0.008\ m

Generally according to Bernoulli's  equation

        p_1 =  [\frac{1}{2}  \rho v_2^2 + h_2 \rho g +p_2] -[\frac{1}{2} \rho * v_1^2 + h_1 \rho g ]

Now  \rho =  1000 \ kg m^{-3} which is the density of water

        p_2 is the gauge pressure of the atmosphere which is  zero

 So

       p_1 =  [(0.5 * 1000 * (3.1)^2) +(0.008 * 1000 * 9.8) + 0]-

                                                  [(0.5 * 1000 * 0.31^2) + (0.08*1000 * 9.8)]                          

       p_1 = 4051.4 \ Pa
