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.

While passing through a human cell, an x-ray photon interacts with and inactivates the cell’s master molecule. What is the conse
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Cell Death

Explanation:

Cell death is defined as the biological process which ceases the function of the cell to carry out. This can be caused due to the formation of new cells in place of old cells.

Or it can be cause due to some serious disease or may be caused due to the injury or due to the death of that organism to which these cells belong.

And another case is that when X-ray photon interact with the human cell while it passes through the cell, it   will damage the cell and cease it to function well and a more drastic condition occurs and that cell become dead.

A laser of wavelength 720 nm illuminates a double slit where the separation between the slits is 0.22 mm. Fringes are seen on a
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "2.78 mm".

Explanation:

Given:

\lambda = 720 \ nm

or,

  = 720\times 10^{-9} \ m

D=0.85 \ m

d = 0.22 \ mm

or,

  =0.22 \times 10^{-3} \ m

As we know,

Fringe width is:

⇒ \beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}

hence,

Separation between second and third bright fringes will be:

⇒ \theta=\beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}

       =\frac{720\times 10^{-9}\times 0.85}{0.22\times 10^{-3}}

       =2.78\times 10^{-3} \ m

or,

       =2.78 \ mm

A set of four capacitors are attached to a 12V battery in the circuit shown below. All capacitances are measured in milli-Farads
Bond [772]

The amount of electric charge that resides on each capacitor once it is fully charged is 0.37 C.

<h3>Total capacitance of the circuit</h3>

The total capacitance of the circuit is calculated as follows;

Capacitors in series;

1/Ct = 1/8 + 1/7.5

1/Ct = 0.25833

Ct = 3.87 mF

Capacitors is parallel;

Ct = 3.87 mF + 12 mF + 15 mF

Ct = 30.87 mF

Ct = 0.03087 F

<h3>Charge in each capacitor</h3>

Q = CV

Q = 0.03087 x 12

Q = 0.37 C

Thus, the amount of electric charge that resides on each capacitor once it is fully charged is 0.37 C.

Water has the ability to dissolve polar covalent molecules like sucrose by
Alla [95]

Explanation:

Sucrose is a disaccharide which is composed of fructose and glucose. Sucrose molecule has oxygen atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms (O-H bonds - Polar groups) on all ends of its double 6-Carbon ring. The areas near the oxygen atoms are slightly negative, and the areas near the hydrogen atoms are slightly positive that is, the O-H bonds are polar. They bond with the neighbouring Oxygen and Hydrogen atoms because of their

dipole - dipole attractions and hence hydrogen bonds are formed.

However, the covalent bonds within the molecule aren't broken. But rather, the hydrogen bonds holding the sucrose molecules in the crystalline lattice.
