The term stress fracture, in many cases of overuse injury, is a misnomer. This term does not represent the nature and diversity of this frequently found injury. The term, âChronic Repetitive Stress Injury of Boneâ, better suits this injury in its myriad manifestations.he higher grades of stress injury are similar to fatigue fractures of other materials. Bone is noted to fail more readily in tension than in compression. This means that the forces which tend to âpullâ are more dangerous to bone failure and injury than compressive forces.
Wind power or wind energy describes the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power.
A) Wind is the most commonly used renewable energy source in the United States. B) Hydropower uses the kinetic energy of water to generate electricity. C) Wind energy does not use a turbine or a generator to produce electricity. D) Solar energy can only be used on Earth. It can't be used in space.
