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. If the goal of the turbine is to put out electric energy, what is the efficiency of the turbine? 25% 50% 75% 100%

<span>German physicist  Albert Betz  (in 1919) demonstrated  that the highest efficiency you can achieve with a wind turbine is around 59% </span>
<span>
We would have to analyze the design of an specific turbine to determine its efficiency, however it is unlikely to achieve 50% , as todays turbines have an average efficiency in the 20-35%
</span>
The answer would be 25%

: The truck is to be towed using two ropes. Determine the magnitudes of forces FA and FB acting on each rope in order to develop
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Fa=774 N

Fb=346 N

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by equating forces on each axis.

  1. On x-axis let forces in positive x-direction be positive and forces in negative x-direction be negative
  2. On y-axis let forces in positive y-direction be positive and forces in negative y-direction be negative

While towing we know that car is mot moving in y-direction so net force in y-axis must be zero

⇒∑Fy=0

⇒Fa*sin(50)-Fb*sin(20)=0

⇒Fa*sin(50)=Fb*sin(20)

⇒Fa=2.24Fb

Given that resultant force on car is 950N in positive x-direction

⇒∑Fx=950  

⇒Fa*cos(20)+Fb*cos(50)=950

⇒2.24*Fb*cos(20)+Fb(50)=950

⇒Fb*(2.24*cos(20)+cos(50))=950

⇒Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*cos(20)+cos(50)}

⇒Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*0.94+0.64}

⇒ Fb=\frac{950}{2.75}=345.5

⇒Fa=2.24*Fb

      =2.24*345.5

      =773.93

Therefore approximately, Fa=774 N and Fb=346 N

Which of the following statements best describes the characteristic of the restoring force in the spring-mass system described i
Grace [21]

Answer : The restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the block.

Explanation :

Restoring force is defined as the force that is exerted by the spring due to its mass.

Mathematically, the restoring force can be written as :

F\propto-x

F = - k x

where,

k is the spring constant.

x is the displacement caused due to the mass.

Negative sign shows that the force is acting in opposite direction.

So, it is clear that the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the block.

Hence, the correct option is (b) " The restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the block ".

MrRa [10]

Explanation :

Takumi wears sunscreen and a hat each time he works in the yard. This is to protect himself with the strong radiation coming from the sun. UV rays that are coming from the sun are the main cause of skin cancer.

Stochastic effects are the effects that are caused by chance. Cancer is one of the main stochastic effects.

So, the correct option is (b) "the severity of stochastic effects, such as cancer".
