Application Question: In Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, it is common for members of the Amish community to use wind mills to pu

mp water from underground to fill a tank for drinking water. The wind causes the turbine blades to spin, rotating a shaft, which is transferred through some gears to operate a pump that is plugged in to an outlet, which pumps water up from deep below the ground to fill an above ground tank. Identify the energy conversions happening in the fill in the blank question on the right.

Required
Wind blows (--------- energy) causing the turbine to turn, which rotates the shaft and allows the water pump (-----------) to work. The pump causes the water to move up from the well ( energy) where the water is stored in a tank that is positioned 5 feet above the ground (gravitational potential energy).

Answer:

The wind blows wind energy causing the turbine to turn,  the rotating shaft works the pump making mechanical energy.

The motion of water moving up from a well is kinetic energy.

Water in the tank, which is positioned 5 feet above the ground level is potential energy

Explanation:

The wind has in it wind energy which is then used to rotate the turbine shaft which is a form of mechanical work and hence possess mechanical energy

Moving water possesses kinetic energy and when this water is kept at some height it possesses potential energy

Explain the importance of carbon's ability to form covalent bonds in straight chains, branched chains, or rings.
viktelen [127]
Carbon is the element at the heart of all organic compounds, and it is such a versatile element because of its ability to form straight chains, branched chains, and rings. Because these chains and rings can have all sorts of different functional groups in all sorts of different ways (giving the compond all sorts of different physical and chemical properties), carbon's ability to form the backbone of these large structures is critial to the existence of most chemical compounds known to man. Above all, the organic molecules crucial to the biochemical systems that govern living organisms depend on carbon compounds.
