Problems with solar energy include _____.

Physics
2 answers:
german3 years ago

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.

A satellite is in orbit 36000km above the surface of the earth. Its angular velocity is 7.27*10^-5 rad/s. What is the velocity o
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

v = 3.08 km/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The angular velocity of the satellite = \omega=7.27\times 10^{-5} rad/s

A satellite is in orbit 36000km above the surface of the earth.

The radius of the earth is 6400 km

Let v is the velocity of the satellite. It can be calculated as :

v=r\omega\\\\v=(36000\times 10^3+6400\times 10^3)\times 7.27\times 10^{-5}\\\\v=3082.48\ m/s\\\\v=3.08\ km/s

So, the velocity of the satellite is 3.08 km/s.

If a car travels 30 mi. north for 30 min., 60 mi. east for 1.0 hour, and 30 mi. south for 30 min., what is the average speed
Ainat [17]

Answer: 60mph

Explanation:

Given the following :

First leg travel:

Distance = 30 miles

Time of travel= 30 minutes = 0.5 hour

Second leg travel:

Distance = 60 miles

Time of travel = one hour

Average speed :

Speed = total Distance / time of travel

Total distance in miles = (30 + 60) miles = 90 miles

Total time of travel = 1 hour + 0.5 hour = 1.5 hours

Average speed = total distance traveled / total travel time

Average speed = 90 miles / 1.5 hours

Average speed = 60 miles / hour

= 60mph
