A wind turbine takes in energy from wind with the goal of converting it into electrical energy. Much of the wind energy is also

converted into the kinetic energy of the spinning turbine and heat lost to the air around it. An illustration of a windmill with a wide arrow away from it labeled kinetic energy of wind 3000 J and it separates into 3 different arrows, one labeled electric energy 750 J, the second labeled heat 750 J and the third which is the widest labeled kinetic energy of turbine blank J. If the goal of the turbine is to put out electric energy, what is the efficiency of the turbine? 25% 50% 75% 100%.

The efficiency of the turbine is 50%.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Kinetic energy of the wind, E = 3000 J</em>
  • <em>Output electrical energy, E(out) = 750 J</em>
  • <em>Energy lost to heat, E(lost) = 750 J</em>
  • <em>Kinetic energy of the turbine, E(in) = ?</em>

The kinetic energy of the turbine which is the input energy is calculated as follows;

E(in) = 3000 - (750 + 750)

E(in) = 1500 J

The efficiency of the turbine is calculated as follows;

E_f_f = \frac{E_{(out)}}{E_{(in)}} \times 100\%\\\\E_f_f = \frac{750}{1500} \times 100\%\\\\E_f_f = 50  \%

Thus, the efficiency of the turbine is 50%.

How do fission nuclear reactions differ from fusion nuclear reactions?
Serhud [2]
The path of the raction occurs on the basis of mass of the nuclei involved in reaction.
In case of nuclear fusion, two or more nuclei having less mass fuse(combine, join) together to form a new nuclei(heavier mass but it is relatively stable). During fusion, matter is not conserved because some of the matter is converted into energy(light). This reaction evolves a huge amount of energy and there comes Einstein's famous Energy-mass equivalence formula E=mc^2! :D. The nuclear reaction occuring in stars(including our sun ) is "fusion".

Fission occurs with heavier nuclei such as that of Uranium-235. Which splits into smaller subatomic particles like gamma, neutrons and enormous amount of energy.
Both, Fission and Fusion releases enormous amount of energy and modern nuclear weapons works on the principle of nuclear fission.
