The light energy that falls on a square meter of ground over the course of a typical sunny day is about 20 MJ. The average rate

of electric energy consumption in one house is 1.0 kW

Answer:

86MJ

Explanation:

THE TOPIC FROM WHICH THE QUESTION IS OBTAINED IS WORK, ENERGY AND POWER

  • Power is defined as the time rate of doing work.
  • Power =\frac{Energy used/ work done}{time}
  • If the energy use is in joules and the time is in seconds, then power is a measure of watts. 1watt = 1 joule per second.
  • According to the question, we need to find how much energy does one house use during each 24 hour day ( Already given time = 24hours) when the average rate of electric energy consumption in one house is 1.0 kW ( we have been given power = 1kW).
  • Power = 1kW = 1 × 10³W
  • Time = 24hours = 24 ×3600 = 86400seconds.
  • It is important we have our time in seconds so as to be consistent with unit and dimension

Power = \frac{Energy used/ work done}{time}

1 × 10³W =\frac{Energy used}{86400}

  • Energy used =1 × 10³W × 86400
  • Energy used = 86400000J = 86.4 × 10^{6}W  = 86.4MJ  

The question requested the answer in 2 significant figures and the answer is 86MJ

A wave is a disturbance that propagates, or moves from the place it was created. The simplest waves repeat themselves for several cycles and are associated with simple harmonic motion. Let us start by considering the simplified water wave in Figure 2. The wave is an up and down disturbance of the water surface. It causes a sea gull to move up and down in simple harmonic motion as the wave crests and troughs (peaks and valleys) pass under the bird. The time for one complete up and down motion is the wave’s period T. The wave’s frequency is

f

=

, as usual. The wave itself moves to the right in Figure 2. This movement of the wave is actually the disturbance moving to the right, not the water itself (or the bird would move to the right). We define wave velocity vw to be the speed at which the disturbance moves. Wave velocity is sometimes also called the propagation velocity or propagation speed, because the disturbance propagates from one location to another.

Explain in terms of the arrangementbof particles the kinetic theory of matter​
baherus [9]

Answer:

Matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving. All particles have energy, but the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in. This in turn determines whether the substance exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state.

A 25-foot ladder is leaning against a house. The base of the ladder is pulled away from the house at a rate of 2 feet per second
grandymaker [24]

A ladder 25 feet long is leaning against a house.  The base of the ladder is pulled away at a rate of 2 ft/sec.  

a.)  How fast is the top of the ladder moving down the wall when the base of the ladder is 12 feet from the wall?

Answer:

dy/dt = -1.094ft/sec

Explanation:

Given that:

dz/dt = 0,

dx/dt = 2,

dy/dt = ?

Hence, we have the following

Using Pythagoras theorem

We have 25ft as the hypotenuse, y as the opposite or height of wall, and x as the base of the triangle

X² + y² = z²,

12² + y² = 25²,

y² = 25² - 12²

y = √481

Therefore, we have the following:

2x dx/dt + 2y dy/dt,

= 2z dz/dt,

= 12 (2) √481 dy/dt,

= √481 dy/dt = -24,

= dy/dt = -1.094ft/sec

Therefore, final answer is -1.094ft/sec
