Part A A typical wind turbine extracts 40% of the kinetic energy of the wind that blows through the area swept by the blades. For a large turbine, 120,000 kg of air moves past the blades at 16 m/s every second. If the wind turbine extracts 40% of this kinetic energy, and if 90% of this energy is converted to electric energy, what is the power output of the generator? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Poutput = Value Units

m hich of these statements about geothermal energy is false? A The hot water produced from the geothermal wells can be directly circulated through buildings or pumped through a heat exchanger that transfers the heat to a building. B The major regions of geothermal development are in the most volcanically and tectonically active regions of the world. The hot water produced from the geothermal can also be used to produce electricity in a geothermal power plant. Electricity is generated when geothermal heat produces steam that turns turbines on a generator. The energy is accessed through geothermal wells which are drilled into the Earth's crust at approximately a depth of 3 to 10 kilometers. The heat is extracted with a variety of methods but in most cases is drawn from the earth using water and steam. E Geothermal energy production is safe, cheap, and reliable. It provides consistent power generation, poses no risk to the earth, and produces no emissions. F Geothermal refers to producing…
