Wind energy spins the blades on this wind turbine. the mechanical energy of the moving blades is used to generate electricity. but wind turbines are not suited to all areas of the country, because in some places there is not enough wind.

why is an external energy source, in this case wind, needed to keep the blades spinning?
a) wind energy is required for energy transformations.
b) without an external energy source, friction stops the blades.
c) wind energy is required to convert potential energy to kinetic energy.
eliminate
d) the internal energy will overcome the external energy and the blades will stop spinning.

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. the athlete is able to rotate the ball at the rate of 8.13 rev/s when the length of the chain is 0.600 m. when he increases the length to 0.900 m, he is able to rotate the ball only 6.04 rev/s. (a) which rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball? 6.04 rev/s 8.13 rev/s (b) what is the centripetal acceleration of the ball at 8.13 rev/s? m/s2 (c) what is the centripetal acceleration at 6.04 rev/s? m/s2

An electric power distributor charges residential customers $0.10 per kilowatt-hour (kwh). the company advertises that "green power" is available in 150 kwh blocks for an additional $4 per month. (green power is generated from solar, wind power, and methane sources.) if a certain customer uses an average of 391 kwh per month and commits to one monthly 150 kwh block of green power, what is her annual power bill

Your physics assignment is to figure out a way to use electricity to launch a small 6.0-cm-long plastic drink stirrer. you decide that you'll charge the little plastic rod by rubbing it with fur, then hold it near a long, charged wire, as shown in figure p23.56 . when you let go, the electric force of the wire on the plastic rod will shoot it away. suppose you can uniformly charge the plastic stirrer to 10 nc and that the linear charge density of the long wire is 1.0 x10-7 c/m. what is the net electric force on the plastic stirrer if the end closest to the wire is 2.0 cm away?
