Which of these is a possible disadvantage of using wind as a source of
energy?
o
a. wind turbines can be placed on existing farms.
o
b. wind energy is sustainable.
o
c. wind energy creates new jobs.
o
d. wind turbines take up a lot of space.

D. Wind turbines take up a lot of space.

Explanation:

In wind turbines the kinetic energy received by the air molecules is converted into electrical energy by the use of turbines

So here in order to get more kinetic energy from air we need more crossectional area of the wind mill to interact with the air

So here we need the large size of turbines

so this is the main disadvantage of the wind turbines because it needs large area to install the whole setup also the efficiency of this turbine is small so it needs large number of wind mills to setup good output power

so correct answer will be

D. Wind turbines take up a lot of space.

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19
