(100 watts) = 100 joules/second

(100 joules/second) x (3,600sec/hour) = 360,000 joules/hour

360,000 joules = 360,000 newton-meters

Weight of 2,000 kg on Earth = (2,000 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 19,600 newtons

(360,000 newton-meters) / (19,600 newtons) = <em>18.4 meters off the ground</em>

A rod 150 cm long and of diameter 2.0 cm is subjected to an axial pull of 20 kn. if the modulus of elasticity of the material of
Scilla [17]
Given:
rod of circular cross section is subjected to uniaxial tension.
Length, L=1500 mm
radius, r = 10 mm
E=2*10^5 N/mm^2
Force, F=20 kN = 20,000 N
[note: newton (unit) in abbreviation is written in upper case, as in  N ]

From given above, area of cross section = &pi; r^2 = 100 &pi; =314 mm^2
(i) Stress,
&sigma;
=force/area
= 20000 N / 314 mm^2
= 6366.2 N/mm^2
= 6370 N/mm^2 (to 3 significant figures)

(ii) Strain
&epsilon;
= ratio of extension / original length
= &sigma; / E
= 6366.2 /(2*10^5)
= 0.03183 
= 0.0318 (to three significant figures)

(iii) elongation
= &epsilon; * L
= 0.03183*1500 mm
= 47.746 mm
= 47.7 mm  (to three significant figures)

What is the biggest disadvantage of solar electricity, or at least, why is it not used much more than it currently is?
Lesechka [4]
<span>The Solar electricity source of energy comes from the sun’s rays. It is more often in the form of a panel known as the solar panel. It has a photovoltaic system that generates and supplies energy in commercial and residential areas. Even though numerous countries are using this type of electricity to save electric-induced power, it is not used for a number of reasons. One is that 1 panel with a size of 6 by 10 solar cells is expensive. There are countries who cannot afford to buy them. Two, it requires a larger area to place the panel. Three, the efficiency is low. The smaller the panel is, the lower its efficiency and therefore produces lesser power to generate a specific area.  </span>

Use the ratio version of Kepler’s third law and the orbital information of Mars to determine Earth’s distance from the Sun. Mars
zhuklara [117]

Kepler's third law is used to determine the relationship between the orbital period of a planet and the radius of the planet.

The distance of the earth from the sun is 1.50 \times 10^{11}\;\rm m.

<h3>What is Kepler's third law?</h3>

Kepler's Third Law states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the radius of their orbits. It means that the period for a planet to orbit the Sun increases rapidly with the radius of its orbit.

T^2 \propto R^3

Given that Mars’s orbital period T is 687 days, and Mars’s distance from the Sun R is 2.279 × 10^11 m.

By using Kepler's third law, this can be written as,

T^2 \propto R^3

T^2 = kR^3

Substituting the values, we get the value of constant k for mars.

687^2 = k\times (2.279 \times 10^{11})^3

k = 3.92 \times 10^{-29}

The value of constant k is the same for Earth as well, also we know that the orbital period for Earth is 365 days. So the R is calculated as given below.

365^3 = 3.92\times 10^{-29} R^3

R^3 = 3.39 \times 10^{33}

R= 1.50 \times 10^{11}\;\rm m

Hence we can conclude that the distance of the earth from the sun is 1.50 \times 10^{11}\;\rm m.

Josh starts throwing his pitch; we assume that his arm moves in a perfect circular arc, and his arm is 0.7 m long. If he needs t
harina [27]

As we know that centripetal acceleration is given as

a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}

here we know that

linear speed = 35 m/s

here radius of path is same as length of arm

R = 0.7 m

now from above above formula we have

a_c = \frac{35^2}{0.7}

a_c = 1750 m/s^2

so acceleration is 1750 m/s/s

Why is rock away from ocean ridges older? Is it because if the rocks are away from cracks in the crust, there is no way for any
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

the rocks are away from cracks in the crust

Explanation:

   The new crust is pushed away from the Ocean Ridge in both directions as newer crust is formed. This is called sea floor spreading. The crust that makes up the sea floor starts to have time to accumulate a layer of sediments as it gets older and moves away from the Ocean Ridge.
