First choice:  the inability of current technology to capture
large amounts of the Sun's energy

Well, it's true that large amounts of it get away ... our 'efficiency' at capturing it is still rather low.  But the amount of free energy we're able to capture is still huge and significant, so this isn't really a major problem.

Second choice:  the inability of current technology to store
captured solar energy

No.  We're pretty good at building batteries to store small amounts, or raising water to store large amounts.  Storage could be better and cheaper than it is, but we can store huge amounts of captured solar energy right now, so this isn't a major problem either.

Third choice:  inconsistencies in the availability of the resource

I think this is it.  If we come to depend on solar energy, then we're
expectedly out of luck at night, and we may unexpectedly be out
of luck during long periods of overcast skies.

Fourth choice:  lack of demand for solar energy

If there is a lack of demand, it's purely a result of willful manipulation
of the market by those whose interests are hurt by solar energy.

Explanation:

Universe comprises of all the matter and energy that exists in space. It contains billions of stars, planets and interstellar matter that is clouds of dust and gas. There is large amount of the empty space in between.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

11.56521 m/s

Explanation:

A_1 = Area of first section = 14\times 2

A_2 = Area of second section = 5\times 0.92

V_1 = Velocity in first section = 1.9 m/s

V_2 = Velocity in second section

From the continuity equation we get

A_1V_1=A_2V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{A_1V_1}{A_2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{14\times 2\times 1.9}{5\times 0.92}\\\Rightarrow V_2=11.56521\ m/s

The speed of the river through the section of rapids is 11.56521 m/s
