Problems with solar energy include _____.

Physics

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.

The Southwest Indian Ridge, shown in red, moves at an average rate of 20 mm/year, making it among the ultraslow spreading ridges
blagie [28]

v = average speed of movement of the Southwest Indian Ridge = 20 mm/year

d = distance moved by the Southwest Indian Ridge = 100 mm

t = number of years required to move distance "d"

distance traveled is given as

d = v t

inserting the above values in the formula

100 mm = (20 mm/year) t

dividing both side by 20 mm/year

t = 100 mm/(20 mm/year)

t = 5 years

The position of a certain airplane during takeoff is given by x=1/2 *bt2, where b = 2.0 m/s2 and t = 0 corresponds to the instan
Serhud [2]

Answer:

1362000 kgm/s

Explanation:

So the total mass combination of the plane and the people inside it is

M = 35000 + 160*65 = 45400 kg

After 15 seconds at an acceleration of 2 m/s2, the plane speed would be

V = 2*15 = 30 m/s

So the magnitude of the plane 15s after brakes are released is

MV = 45400 * 30 = 1362000 kgm/s

Which temperature is the hottest? 98 F or 39 C or 303K?<br> F= 1.8C + 32<br> C= (F-32)/1.8
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The hottest temperature is  T_2 = 39^o C

Explanation:

From the question we are given

    T_1 =  98 F

  T_2 =  39^oC

  T_3 =  303 \  K

Generally converting T_3 to  Fahrenheit

    T_3' =  (T_3 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5}  + 32

=> T_3' =  (303 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5}  + 32

=> T_3' = 86 F

Converting  T_2 to  Fahrenheit

      T_2' =  T_2 * \frac{9}{5}  + 32

=> T_2' =  39 * \frac{9}{5}  + 32

=> T_2' =102.2 F  

Now comparing  the temperature  in Fahrenheit we see that T_2  is the hottest
