Use these results to estimate the area (inkm2)of silicon solar cells requiredto satisfy the community power requirements. Assume, thepower requirements for an average single family home of 3 are 108.4 x 106BTU per year and solar panels insolation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 3170 kw

b) 377 km^2

Explanation:

Estimate of electric power

a) Given :

Average power consumption for a family of 3 = 108.4 * 106 BTU per year  =  0.0317 kw = 31.7 watts

The power requirement for a city of 300000 people

= 31.7 watts * 100000 = 3170000 watts = 3170 kw

b) Given :

Average solar panel insulation = 8.4 W /m^2

Estimate the area of silicon solar cells required to satisfy community power requirement

= (1 * 3170) * (1000/8.4 )

= 377.380 * 10^3 m2 = 377 km^2

Answers

Answer:

-6,329.5Joules

Explanation:

Complete question:

Sally applies a horizontal force of 462N with a rope to drag a wooden crate across a floor with a constant speed the rope tied to the crate is pulled at an angle of 56.0degree and sally moves the crate 24.5m. What work is done by the floor through the force of friction between the floor and crate.

Work done = Fd cos theta

F is the horizontal force

d is the distance covered

theta angle of inclination

Substituting into the formula

Workdone  = 462(24.5)cos 56

Workdone = 11,319(0.5592)

Workdone = 6,329.5Joules

Hence the workdone by sally is 6,329.5Joules

The work done by friction will be opposite the work done by sally, hence work done by the floor through force of friction between the floor and the crate is -6,329.5Joules

Answer:

Acceleration

Explanation:

Answer: Acceleration

Explanation:

At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile starts with a constant acceleration a of 2.70 m/s2. At the same instant a truck, traveling with a constant speed of 9.50 m/s, overtakes and passes the automobile. (a) How far beyond the traffic signal will the automobile overtake the truck

Answers

Answer:

66.85 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Acceleration ,a=[tex]2.7m/s^2[/tex]

Speed of truck, v=9.5 m/s

We have to find the distance beyond which the traffic signal will the automobile overtake the truck.

Initial speed of automobile, u=0

We know that

[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]s=0+\frac{1}{2}(27)t^2=\frac{27}{2}t^2[/tex]

For constant speed

Acceleration, a=0

Again

[tex]s=vt+0=9.5t[/tex]

[tex]9.5t=\frac{27}{2}t^2[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{9.5\times 2}{2.7}=7.037s[/tex]

Substitute the value of t

[tex]x=9.5(7.037)=66.85m[/tex]

Hence, the distance beyond which the traffic signal will the automobile overtake the truck=66.85 m

1. In calculating the work W necessary to stretch a spring from its natural length of 8 centimeters to a length of 12 centimeters, we need some more information about the spring. There are two distinct kinds of information, each of which separately would provide the necessary assistance so we could find W. Describe what the two additional kinds of information are.

Answers

Answer:

* displacement from equilibrium position

* The spring constant,

Explanation:

The work done by a spring is two times the expressions

         W = ∫ F. dx

         

in a spring the force is given by hooke's law

          F = - k Δx

we substitute

         W = - k ∫ x dx cos θ

In the case of the spring, the displacement is in the same direction of work, therefore the angle is zero and the cosine is equal to 1

we integrate

           W = ½ k Δx²

we can see that we need two parts to calculate the work

* displacement from equilibrium position

          Δx = 12 -8 = 4 cm

* The spring constant, this constant can be found from the displacement measurements as a function of the applied force.

A hanging wire made of an alloy of titanium with diameter 0.05 cm is initially 2.7 m long. When a 15 kg mass is hung from it, the wire stretches an amount 1.68 cm. A mole of titanium has a mass of 48 grams, and its density is 4.54 g/cm3. Based on these experimental measurements, what is Young's modulus for this alloy of titanium

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Young's modulus of elasticity Y = stress / strain

stress = force / cross sectional area

= weight of 15 kg / π r²

= 15 x 9.8 / 3.14 x ( .025 x 10⁻² )²

stress = 74.9 x 10⁷ N / m²

strain = Δ L / L , Δ L is change in length and L is original length

Putting the values

strain = .0168 / 2.7 =.006222

Young's modulus of elasticity Y  = 74.9 x 10⁷ / .006222

= 120.88 x 10⁹ N / m² .

What must the charge (sign and magnitude) of a particle of mass 1.48 g be for it to remain stationary when placed in a downward-directed electric field of magnitude 640 N/C

Answers

Answer:

[tex]q=-2.26\times 10^{-5}\ C[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a particle, m = 1.48 g = 0.00148 kg

The electric field, E = 640 N/C

We need to find the charge of the particle when placed in a downward-directed electric field.

The force of gravity is balanced by the electric force such that,

mg = qE

Where

q is the charge of the particle

[tex]q=\dfrac{mg}{E}\\\\q=\dfrac{0.00148\times 9.8}{640}\\\\q=2.26\times 10^{-5}\ C[/tex]

q must be negative, the force must be upward (opposite direction of the electric field).

A clump of soft clay is thrown horizontally from 9.80 m above the ground with a speed of 20.0 m/s. Assume it sticks in place when it hits the ground At what time will the clay hit the ground

a long solid rod 4.5 cm in radius carries a uniform volume charge density. if the electric field strength at the surface of the rod (not near either end) is 16 kn/c, what is the volume charge density

Answers

Answer:

6.29 μC/m³

Explanation:

Volume charge density is the quantity of charge per unit volume.

The direction of the electric field was not specified, therefore the volume charge density (ρ) is given by:

2πRLE = ρπR²L/ε₀

ρ = 2Eε₀ / R

Where E = electric field strength = 16 kN/C = 16 * 10³ N/C, R = radius of rod = 4.5 cm = 0.045 m, ε₀ = relative permittivity of free space = 8.85 * 10⁻¹² C² / Nm²

Therefore:

ρ = 2(16 * 10³ N/C)(8.85 * 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²) / 0.045 m = 6.29 * 10⁻⁶ C/m³

ρ = 6.29 μC/m³

A box of bananas weighing 51.0 N rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.46 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.23. Part A If no horizontal force is applied to the box and the box is at rest, how large is the frictional force exerted on the box by the surface

Answers

static friction force = The coefficient of static friction * normal force

static friction force = 0.46 * 51 = 23.46 N

kinetic friction force = The coefficient of kinetic friction * normal force

kinetic friction force = 0.23 * 51 = 11.73 N

the applied force acting on the object must be more than 23.5 N if the object was stationary to move it and must be more than 11.7 N during the movement to keep the object moving

16. An object has a gravitational potential energy 41,772.5 Jof and has a mass of 1550 kg. How high is it
above the ground?
Plz help

Answers

Answer:

2.75 m.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Potential energy (PE) = 41772.5 J

Mass (m) of object = 1550 kg

Height (h) =?

Potential energy is the energy possess by an object due to its location. Mathematically, potential energy is expressed as shown below:

PE = mgh

Where

PE => potential energy

m => mass of the object

g => acceleration due to gravity

h => height to which the object is located.

With the above formula, we can obtain the height to which the object is located as follow:

Potential energy (PE) = 41772.5 J

Mass (m) of object = 1550 kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) =?

PE = mgh

41772.5 = 1550 × 9.8 × h

41772.5 = 15190 × h

Divide both side by 15190

h = 41772.5 / 15190

h = 2.75 m

Thus, the object is located at 2.75 m above the ground.

The beetle is correct because of the the force of the Throckmortan was a lot heavier and thus making the beetle feel the force.

Momentum before = momentum after

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(70.0 kg) (3.0 m/s) + (2.0 kg) (3.0 m/s) = (70.0 kg) (3.1 m/s) + (2.0 kg) v

210 kg m/s + 6 kg m/s = 217 kg m/s + (2.0 kg) v

-1 kg m/s = (2.0 kg) v

v = -0.5 m/s

The skateboard's velocity is 0.5 m/s west. Hope I helped and have a good day!

Write the vector that describes the displacement of a fly if it quickly goes from the tip of the minute hand to the tip of the hour hand at 3:00 P.M. (Let vector D represents the displacement of the fly.)

Answers

Answer:

the vector that describes the displacement of a fly if it quickly goes from the tip of the minute hand to the tip of the hour hand at 3:00 P.M is ; { 0.24 m(i) - 0.46 m(j) }

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

as illustrated in the image below,

3:00 pm means

the hour hand is on 3 i.e along x-axis

while the minute hand is on 12 i.e along y-axis

so Displacement will be;

D = ( 0.24 + 0i) - ( 0 + 0.46j )

D = { 0.24 m(i) - 0.46 m(j) }

Therefore, the vector that describes the displacement of a fly if it quickly goes from the tip of the minute hand to the tip of the hour hand at 3:00 P.M is ; { 0.24 m(i) - 0.46 m(j) }
