Explain why solar energy is considered an inexhaustible source of energy

1 answer:

6 0

-- The amount of energy radiated by the sun is not affected at all by how much
of it we use or don't use.

-- The sun is not expected to quit shining on us, or to change its rate of energy
output, at any time within the next several many human lifetimes.

Solar energy is going to keep arriving here, continuously, at the same rate,
free of charge, for a long long time, whether we feel like using it or not. It's
the closest thing to manna from heaven that has been seen around here for
thousands of years.

The vapor pressure of benzene, C6H6, is 40.1 mmHg at 7.6°C. What is its vapor pressure at 60.6°C? The molar heat of vaporization

ANEK [815]

Answer:

The vapor pressure at 60.6°C is 330.89 mmHg

Explanation:

Applying Clausius Clapeyron Equation

$ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1}) = \frac{\delta H}{R}[\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2}]$

Where;

P₂ is the final vapor pressure of benzene = ?

P₁ is the initial vapor pressure of benzene = 40.1 mmHg

T₂ is the final temperature of benzene = 60.6°C = 333.6 K

T₁ is the initial temperature of benzene = 7.6°C = 280.6 K

ΔH is the molar heat of vaporization of benzene = 31.0 kJ/mol

R is gas rate = 8.314 J/mol.k

$ln(\frac{P_2}{40.1}) = \frac{31,000}{8.314}[\frac{1}{280.6}- \frac{1}{333.6}]\\\\ln(\frac{P_2}{40.1}) = 3728.65 (0.003564 - 0.002998)\\\\ln(\frac{P_2}{40.1}) = 3728.65 (0.000566)\\\\ln(\frac{P_2}{40.1}) = 2.1104\\\\\frac{P_2}{40.1} = e^{2.1104}\\\\\frac{P_2}{40.1} = 8.2515\\\\P_2 = (40.1*8.2515)mmHg = 330.89 mmHg$

Therefore, the vapor pressure at 60.6°C is 330.89 mmHg

according to newton's second law of motion of the net force acting on the object increases while the mass of the object remains

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The Acceleration will increase

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of motion: It states that the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes places along the direction of the force.

It can be expressed mathematically as,

F ∝ m(v-u)/t

Where (v-u)/t = a

F = kma.

F = force, m = mass of the body, a = acceleration, k = constant of proportionality which tend to unity for a unit force, a unit mass, and a unit acceleration.

Therefore,

F = ma.

From the equation above,

If the net force acting on a body increase, while the mass of the body remains constant, the acceleration will also increase.

On your first trip to Planet X you happen to take along a 280 g mass, a 40-cm-long spring, a meter stick, and a stopwatch. You'r

arsen [322]

Answer:

5.31143691523 m/s²

Explanation:

m = Mass = 280 g

x = Displacement of spring = 21.7 cm

Time period

$T=\dfrac{14}{11}\\\Rightarrow T=1.27\ s$

Angular velocity is given by

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{1.27}\\\Rightarrow \omega=4.94739\ rad/s$

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}\\\Rightarrow k=\omega^2m\\\Rightarrow k=4.94739^2\times 0.28\\\Rightarrow k=6.85346698739\ N/m$

From Hooke's law

$mg=kx\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{kx}{m}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{6.85346698739\times 0.217}{0.28}\\\Rightarrow g=5.31143691523\ m/s^2$

The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is 5.31143691523 m/s²

Yes, I have been able to satisfy my curiosity.

Answer:

GAS, LIQUID, CLOUDS

Explanation:

Water can be in three states: solid, liquid and gas, passing from one to another depending on the pressure and temperature.
