Wind turbines are now recognized as useful devices for power generation. wind turbines of various types are wide-spread in the u. s. and europe and are bound to become more common in the future. in this problem we will use material from lecture 8 part c to calculate the efficiency of a wind turbine and how many such turbines would be required to replace the power output we obtain from burning fossil fuels.

atomic = no of protons.

mass number-atomic number = neutron number

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
