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.

Explanation:

Let the east direction to be i^ and north direction be j^.

Thus displacement of the man   S=8i^+6j^

So, magnitude of displacement  ∣S∣=62+82=100=10 m

What is the sequence of energy transformations from the moment the ball is dropped to the moment the board is bent to its maximu
Mila [183]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Transformation of energy involves conversion of energy from one form to another for example our movement around involves the conversion of chemical energy stored in the food we eat to other forms of energy such as kinetic energy for the movement, electrical energy in the neurons for impulses and others

The ball posses gravitational potential energy since it is held at a displacement to the ground ( zero point) and when released, the gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy which leads to the fall of the ball until it is at zero displacement to the earth. The board likewise when bent to its maximum extent stored elastic potential energy as a result of the partial displacement of its constituent particle provided it is  not stretch beyond its elastic limit which can lead to deformation of the board and the elastic potential energy lost.

A dog is 60m away while moving at constant velocity of 10m/s towards you. Where is the dog after 4 seconds?
evablogger [386]
20m away

the dog was 60m away from. you subtract 40m since it is 10m/s x 4 seconds
