The US currently produces about 27 GW of electrical power from solar installations. Natural gas, coal, and oil powered installations produce about 740 GW of electrical power. The average intensity of electromagnetic radiation from the sun on the surface of the earth is 1000 W/m2 . If solar panels are 30% efficient at converting this incident radiation into electrical power, what is the total surface area of solar panels responsible for the 27 GW of power currently produced
Answers
Answer:
The total surface area is "90 km²".
Explanation:
Given:
Power from solar installations,
= 27 GW
Other natural installations,
= 740 GW
Intensity,
[tex]\frac{F}{At}=\frac{P}{A}=1000 \ W/m^2[/tex]
%n,
= 30%
Now,
⇒ %n = [tex]\frac{out.}{Inp.}\times 100[/tex]
then,
⇒ [tex]Inp.=\frac{27}{30}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]=90 \ GW[/tex]
As we know,
⇒ [tex]I=\frac{P}{A}[/tex]
by substituting the values, we get
[tex]1000=\frac{90\times 10^9}{A}[/tex]
[tex]A = \frac{90\times 10^9}{10^3}[/tex]
[tex]=90\times 10^6[/tex]
[tex]=90 \ km^2[/tex]
You are a detective investigating why someone was hit on the head by a falling flowerpot. One piece of evidence is a smartphone video taken in a 4th-floor apartment, which happened to capture the flowerpot as it fell past a window. In a span of 8 frames (captured at 30 frames per second), the flowerpot falls 0.84 of the height of the window. You visit the apartment and measure the window to be 1.27 m tall.
Required:
Assume the flowerpot was dropped from rest. How high above the window was the flowerpot when it was dropped?
Answers
Answer:
0.37 m
Explanation:
Given :
Window height, [tex]h_1[/tex] = 1.27 m
The flowerpot falls 0.84 m off the window height, i.e.
[tex]h_2[/tex] = (1.27 x 0.84 ) m in a time span of [tex]$t=\frac{8}{30}$[/tex] seconds.
Assuming that the speed of the pot just above the window is v then,
[tex]h_2=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]
[tex]$(1.27 \times 0.84) = v \times \left( \frac{8}{30} \right) + \frac{1}{2} \times 9.81 \times \left( \frac{8}{30} \right)^2$[/tex]
[tex]$v=\left(\frac{30}{8}\right) \left[ (1.27 \times 0.84) - \left( \frac{1}{2} \times 9.81 \times \left( \frac{8}{30 \right)^2 \right) \right]}$[/tex]
[tex]$v= 2.69$[/tex] m/s
Initially the pot was dropped from rest. So, u = 0.
If it has fallen from a height of h above the window then,
[tex]$h = \frac{v^2}{2g}$[/tex]
[tex]$h = \frac{(2.69)^2}{2 \times 9.81}$[/tex]
h = 0.37 m

Answers
Answer:
φ = 13.43 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 8.4 eV
Explanation:
Using the Einstein's Photoelectric equation:
Energy of Photon = Work Function + Kinetic Energy of Electron
[tex]\frac{hc}{\lambda} = \phi + K.E[/tex]
where,
h = Plank's Constant = 6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
λ = wavelength = 124 nm = 1.24 x 10⁻⁷ m
φ = work function = ?
K.E = Kinetic Energy of Electrons = (4.16 eV)([tex]\frac{1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ J}{1\ eV}[/tex]) = 2.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Therefore,
[tex]\frac{(6.625\ x\ 10^{-34}\ J.s)(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)}{1.24\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m} = \phi + 2.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\\\\\phi=16.03\ x\ 10^{-19}\ J - 2.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ J[/tex]
φ = 13.43 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 8.4 eV

An object of mass 80 kg is released from rest from a boat into the water and allowed to sink. While gravity is pulling the object down, a buoyancy force of 1/50 times the weight of the object is pushing the object up (weight=mg). If we assume that water resistance exerts a force on the abject that is proportional to the velocity of the object, with proportionality constant 10 N-sec/m, find the equation of motion of the object. After how many seconds will the velocity of the object be 40 m/s? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/sec^2.
Answers
Answer:
a) Fnet = mg - Fb - Fr
b) 8.67 secs
Explanation:
mass of object = 80 kg
Buoyancy force = 1/50 * weight ( 80 * 9.81 ) = 15.696
Proportionality constant = 10 N-sec/m
a) Calculate equation of motion of the object
Force of resistance on object due to water = Fr ∝ V
= Fr = Kv = 10 V
Given that : Fb( due to buoyancy ) , Fr ( Force of resistance ) acts in the positive y-direction on the object while mg ( weight ) acts in the negative y - direction on the object.
Fnet = mg - Fb - Fr
∴ Equation of motion of the object ( Ma = mg - Fb - Fr )
b) Calculate how long before velocity of the object hits 40 m/s
Ma = mg - Fb - Fr
a = 9.81 - 0.1962 - 0.125 V = 9.6138 - 0.125 V
V = u + at ---- ( 1 )
u = 0
V = 40 m/s
a = 9.6138 - 0.125 V
back to equation 1
40 = 0 + ( 9.6138 - 0.125 (40) ) t
40 = 4.6138 t
∴ t = 40 / 4.6138 = 8.67 secs
A 3.1-mole sample of an ideal gas is gently heated at constant temperature 320 K. It expands from initial volume 23 L to final volume V2. A total of 1.7 kJ of heat is added during the expansion process. What is V2? Let the ideal-gas constant R = 8.314 J/(mol • K).
Answers
From the ideal gas law,
PV = nRT ==> P = nRT/V
where P is the pressure exerted by the gas on the container. The work W done by this pressure as the volume of the gas changes from V₁ to V₂ is given by the integral,
[tex]W = \displaystyle \int_{V_1}^{V_2}P\,\mathrm dV \implies W = nRT \ln\left(\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}\right)[/tex]
and solving for V₂ gives
[tex]V_2 = V_1\exp\left(\dfrac{W}{nRT}\right)[/tex]
If you add 1.7 kJ of heat to the system, which does the aforementioned work, the gas will expand to a volume of
[tex]V_2 = (23\,\mathrm L)\exp\left(\dfrac{1.7\,\mathrm{kJ}}{(3.1\,\mathrm{mol})\left(8.314\frac{\rm J}{\mathrm{mol}\cdot\mathrm K}\right)(320\,\mathrm K)}\right) \approx \boxed{28 \,\mathrm L}[/tex]

A roller coaster has a vertical loop with radius 25.7 m. With what minimum speed should the roller-coaster car be moving at the top of
the loop so that the passengers do not lose contact with the seats?
m/s
Answers
Answer:
15.88m/s
Explanation:
At the top of the roller coaster you will have three forces acting on the roller-coaster. See the image below. Fc is the centripetal force (for an object in circular motion), Fg is the gravitational force, and Fn is the normal force. To achieve the minimum speed we assume the roller-coaster is barely touching the vertical loop and so the normal force is zero. This leaves two acting forces.

Answers
Answer:
The rise in temperature is 0.06 K.
Explanation:
mass of bullet, m = 15 g
initial speed, u = 865 m/s
final speed, v = 534 m/s
mass of water, M = 13.5 kg
specific heat of water, c = 4200 J/kg K
The change in kinetic energy
[tex]K = 0.5 m(u^2 - v^2)\\\\K = 0.5\times 0.015\times (865^2-534^2)\\\\K = 3473 J[/tex]
According to the conservation of energy, the change in kinetic energy is used to heat the water.
K = m c T

A T-shirt is launched at an angle of 30° with an initial velocity of 25 m/s how long does it take to reach the peak? How long is it in the air for totally?
Answers
Answer:
The launched angle θ = 30 degrees, the initial velocity Vo = 20 m/s, the initial horizontal velocity Vox= ?, the initial vertical velocity Voy = ?, the time of flight t = ? the maximum height h = ?
Vox = Vo * (cos of 30 degrees)
Voy = Vo * (sin of 30 degrees)
t = 2 * (Voy / g)
h = Voy * 0.5 t - 1/2 g * (0.5t)^2
I have given the equations for you to use, just plug – in the values and then solve in a step by step manner.
Answer:
approximately 15.68 meters.
Explanation:
Here is how;
First, let's calculate the time of flight for the t-shirt. We can use the vertical motion equation:
y = y0 + v0y * t - 0.5 * g * t^2
where:
y is the vertical displacement (27.7 m)
y0 is the initial vertical position (0 m)
v0y is the vertical component of the initial velocity (v0 * sin(theta))
g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2)
t is the time of flight
Plugging in the values:
27.7 = 0 + (25.8 * sin(63.6°)) * t - 0.5 * 9.8 * t^2
Simplifying the equation, we get a quadratic equation:
4.9t^2 - (25.8 * sin(63.6°))t + 27.7 = 0
Solving this quadratic equation will give us the time of flight, t. Using the quadratic formula, we find that:
t ≈ 1.23 s
Now, let's find the horizontal displacement of the t-shirt using the horizontal motion equation:
x = x0 + v0x * t
where:
x is the horizontal displacement
x0 is the initial horizontal position (0 m)
v0x is the horizontal component of the initial velocity (v0 * cos(theta))
t is the time of flight
Plugging in the values:
x = 0 + (25.8 * cos(63.6°)) * 1.23
Calculating this:
x ≈ 14.92 m
The t-shirt falls short of reaching the person by the horizontal distance of:
Shortfall = 30.6 m - 14.92 m
Calculating this:
Shortfall ≈ 15.68 m
Therefore, the t-shirt will be approximately 15.68 meters short of reaching the person.
A 3.0 kg block is pushed by a 14 N force. If µ = 0.6, will the block move?
Answers
Answer:
The block will not move.
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the frictional force. This can be obtained as follow:
Coefficient of friction (µ) = 0.6
Mass of block (m) = 3 Kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
Normal reaction (R) = mg = 3 × 10 = 30 N
Frictional force (Fբ) =?
Fբ = µR
Fբ = 0.6 × 30
Fբ = 18 N
From the calculations made above, the frictional force of the block is 18 N. Since the frictional force (i.e 18 N) is bigger than the force applied (i.e 14 N), the block will not move.
26. A square loop whose sides are 6.0-cm long is made with copper wire of radius 1.0 mm. If a magnetic field perpendicular to the loop is changing at a rate of 5.0 mT/s, what is the current in the loop?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for determining the Emf induced in a loop is:
[tex]\varepsilon = \dfrac{d \phi}{dt}[/tex]
[tex]\varepsilon = \dfrac{d (B*A)}{dt}[/tex]
[tex]\varepsilon = A \times \dfrac{dB}{dt}[/tex]
[tex]\varepsilon = (side (l))^2 \times \dfrac{dB}{dt}[/tex]
where;
square area A = ( l²)
l² = 6.0 cm = 6.0 × 10⁻²
∴
[tex]\varepsilon = ( 6.0 \times 10^{-2})^2 \times 5.0 \times 10^{-3} \ T/S[/tex]
[tex]\varepsilon =18 \times 10^{6} \ V[/tex]
Recall that:
The resistivity of copper = [tex]1.68 \times 10^{-8}[/tex] ohm m
We can as well say that the length of the copper wire = perimeter of the square loop;
The perimeter of the square loop = 4L
Thus, the length of the copper wire = 4 (6.0 × 10⁻² )m
= 24× 10⁻² m
Finally, the current in the loop is determined from the formula:
V = IR
where,
V = voltage
I = current and R = resistance of the wire
Making "I" the subject:
I = V/R
where;
[tex]R = \dfrac{\rho \times l}{A}[/tex]
[tex]R = \dfrac{\rho \times l}{\pi * r^2}[/tex]
[tex]R = \dfrac{1.68 *10^{-8} \times 24*10^{-2}}{\pi * (1*10^{-3})^2}[/tex]
[tex]R = 0.001283 \ ohms[/tex]
∴
[tex]I = \dfrac{18*10^{-6}}{0.001283}[/tex]
I = 14.029 mA

[tex]w_{1}\cdot h_{1}\cdot v_{1} + w_{2}\cdot h_{2}\cdot v_{2} = w_{3}\cdot h_{3}\cdot v_{3}[/tex]
[tex]h_{3} = \frac{w_{1}\cdot h_{1}\cdot v_{1}+w_{2}\cdot h_{2}\cdot v_{2}}{w_{3}\cdot v_{3}}[/tex] (2)
[tex]v_{1}, v_{2}[/tex] - Speed of the merging streams, in meters per second.
[tex]h_{1}, h_{2}[/tex] - Depth of the merging streams, in meters.
[tex]w_{1}, w_{2}[/tex] - Width of the merging streams, in meters.
[tex]w_{3}[/tex] - Width of the resulting stream, in meters.
[tex]v_{3}[/tex] - Speed of the resulting stream, in meters per second.
If we know that [tex]w_{1} = 8.3\,m[/tex], [tex]h_{1} = 3.2\,m[/tex], [tex]v_{1} = 2.2\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]w_{2} = 6.8\,m[/tex], [tex]h_{2} = 3.2\,m[/tex], [tex]v_{2} = 2.4\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]w_{3} = 10.4\,m[/tex] and [tex]v_{3} = 2.8\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], then the depth of the resulting stream is:
[tex]h_{3} = \frac{(8.3\,m)\cdot (3.2\,m)\cdot \left(2.2\,\frac{m}{s} \right) + (6.8\,m)\cdot (3.2\,m)\cdot \left(2.4\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}{(10.4\,m)\cdot \left(2.8\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}[/tex]
[tex]h_{3} = 3.8\,m[/tex]
The depth of the resulting stream is 3.8 meters.
