You have been asked to recommend a alternative source of energy that your town could use to generate electricity. describe the renewable resource that you believe would be best for your town. give at least two advantages and two disadvantages of the resource you have recommended.

2 alternative sources to generate electricity:

Solar Energy: Electricity can be generated here by use of solar panels. Solar radiation from the solar panels is converted to electricity by the panels.

Advantages: i) The sun is always shining so it is renewable  ii) it does not result in flaring of gases into the atmosphere.

Disadvantages: i) During rainy period sunlight may be small ii) the technology is still expensive for now.

Wind Energy:

This harnesses the power of the wind in turning turbines to generate electricity.

Advantages: i) Renewable source of wind.  ii) It is easily to implement.

Disadvantages i) There could be dangerous winds which could destroy the turbine (ii) There might be no winds for some days.

The objects do not reach terminal velocity         there is not enough time from the time the object falls from when it hits the ground to achieve terminal velocity. an object must be placed higher to achieve terminal velocity in order to be in free fall.
