The sun’s energy is most useful to humans after it is converted to _____.

Physics

Trava [24]3 years ago
7 0
The sun’s energy is most useful to humans after it is converted to chemical energy. Living organisms like humans and animals could not directly utilize the energy from the sun because of lack in organs that would allow photosynthesis. Humans and animals obtain the energy from the sun from the intake of food. These foods contain chemical energy which is obtained from the solar energy of the sun. Plants use solar energy for photosynthesis which converts the energy into chemical energy. Then, animals and humans eat the plants obtaining the chemical energy which can readily processed by the body as compared to solar energy.

Heat in the amount of 100 kJ is transferred directly from a hot reservoir at 1320 K to a cold reservoir at 600 K. Calculate the
Zinaida [17]

Answer:0.0909 kJ/K

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of hot Reservoir T_h=1320 K

Temperature of cold Reservoir T_l=600 K

Heat of 100 kJ is transferred form hot reservoir to cold reservoir

Hot Reservoir is Rejecting heat therefore Q_1=-100 kJ

Heat is added to Reservoir therefore Q_2=100 kJ

Entropy change for system

\Delta s=\frac{Q_1}{T_1}+\frac{Q_2}{T_2}

\Delta s=\frac{-100}{1320}+\frac{100}{600}

\Delta s=-0.0757+0.1666=0.0909 kJ/K

As entropy change is Positive therefore entropy Principle is satisfied

Which phenomenon generates electric current?
grigory [225]
The one that does that is the photoelectric effect.  This allows the sun to hit the surface and produces enough energy for electrons to be knocked off the atom and allows a current to move.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

a) Therefore 2.6km is greater than 2.57km.

Statement A is greater than statement B.

b) Therefore 5.7km is equal to 5.7km

Statement A is equal to statement B

Explanation:

a) Statement A : 2.567km to two significant figures.

2.567km 2. S.F = 2.6km

Statement B : 2.567km to three significant figures.

2.567km 3 S.F = 2.57km

Therefore 2.6km is greater than 2.57km.

Statement A is greater than statement B.

b) statement A: (2.567 km + 3.146km) to 2 S.F

(2.567km + 3.146km) = 5.713km to 2 S.F = 5.7km

Statement B : (2.567 km, to two significant figures) + (3.146 km, to two significant figures).

2.567km to 2 S.F = 2.6km

3.146km to 2 S.F = 3.1km

2.6km + 3.1km = 5.7km

Therefore 5.7km is equal to 5.7km

Statement A is equal to statement B
