Why are most wind farms built near the top of the hill?

Wind farms are often built on hilltops because wind speeds tend to be higher at higher elevations. This allows wind turbines to generate more electricity efficiently. Additionally, placing wind farms on hilltops helps to maximize the exposure of the turbines to prevailing winds.

Lift occurs because the air pressure on the top surface if an airfoil wing is?

Lift occurs in an aircraft wing because the wind speeds up as it goes over the top of it. The wind is traveling at relatively the same speed over the bottom. The faster air that travels over the top causes the wing to have lift because the air pressure is lower over the top therefore the wing 'rises' in a way. Hope this helps :)


What force causes a spinning top to stop spinning?

The force of friction between the spinning top and the surface it is on causes it to stop spinning. Over time, the energy of the spinning top is transferred to the surface as heat, resulting in a decrease in the top's spinning speed until it comes to a stop.


What is the Nacelle of a wind turbine Briefly describe its function.?

The nacelle of a wind turbine is the enclosed structure at the top of the tower that houses the gearbox, generator, and other key components of the turbine. Its main function is to house and protect these components from weather elements while allowing them to operate efficiently to convert wind energy into electricity.

What are the difference among mountains and plateaus?

Mountains are natural elevations of the Earth's surface that are higher and steeper than hills, with peaks and valleys. Plateaus are flat elevated landforms that are higher than the surrounding area, with a relatively flat on top. Plateaus are generally larger in area than mountains and have more uniform surfaces compared to the rugged terrain of mountains.
